How is a relationship built on the net exists? How could you possibly love someone you never knew in real life? How can you just tell that you’ve fallen in love with someone whom you have just talked with using the ever reliable keyboard? I couldn’t possibly grasp the idea of these online relationships

One day when I was playing Ragnarok Online (btw, this is the very first game I set my eyes on), a guild mate asked if I could party with him (By the way, no one knows I’m a girl cause I’m just afraid of all those creepy guys who will constantly harass you once you blow up your cover). So we played like 5 hours straight, just killin monsters and leveling up. I enjoyed his company and boy, he is very talented tad! Where can you see a wizard that types a lot and still manages to kill a lot? LOL. So there, we became an instant pair (a wizard and a priestess)

Time passed by and this guy suddenly earned my trust. We talk and talk without him knowing that I’m a girl. He would always call me “bro” XD. I never want to believe it; but I’m starting to fall for him. Sometimes I would tell him “I love you bro” and he was like “YUCK”. He is just so lovable.

For the first time in my online life, I’m thinking more about a guy I haven’t met yet. I even chat with him in MSN. He was asking why my email address is about “pretty” and “peaceful”. I just kept saying, “Have any problem with that?”

One day I decided to ask him if we could meet. We live almost in the same area, so I know he wouldn’t mind. He instantly said yeah. I was kinda nervous cause he will now know my true identity. I was afraid that he will ignore me cause I lied about who I really am. As soon as I approach him, he was like “OMG”. Believe me, his reaction was priceless. He was always looking at the floor as if his eyes were hooked to it. After a while, at last, he became at eased at me now and we started talking about the game we both love and about almost everything. I ended the night with a kiss on his cheeks.

After that we started dating and gaming at the same time. He respected me even more and that’s quite unique for a guy gamer. He even proposed to me in guild chat, and our entire guild mates were like “What a gay” lol. We ended as real life lovers after a few more weeks and it was really something worth remembering.

All my belief suddenly changed because of that. I was like “whoa, love really does exist online” Maybe it’s just a matter of right timing and luck to really find a relationship online. Now I believed that we can fall in love only thru written words while killing off those foul monsters :P
