I love the way this worked out!

I remember the days of "chat room dating." I had a "boyfriend" (not really but kind of) who was in Florida (and I'm in Louisiana) and he moved to Italy (where he ended up with a real girlfriend - and I was jealous, but things had gotten worse before that even happened).

I never got into the whole chat room thing unless it was something preplanned with people I already "knew". I was petrified I'd fall for a serial killer!
