Jay and I met on a role-play forum that she and a few of her friends were administrators on. We can’t figure out which site it was, but it was at least two years ago when we met. I actually got closer with her friend at first, because I had been plotting our characters together, but she was in AIM chats with us from time to time. Basically over the last two years, she and I would chat on AIM and move together from RP site to RP site with various characters. We also tried to make a few sites together as well. We got to be fast friends.
I didn’t know much about her other than she lived in Vegas, she had a great sense of humor, and she was an excellent writer. Eventually, we started chatting on Skype together and added each other on Facebook. This was when I realized she was seven years younger than me and my mind was blown. She and I were on the same page about so much and she was so mature, I was just surprised by it. But it didn’t matter, we were friends and that was that.
We exchanged cell numbers and started texting regularly. In August 2011, I went to a gay bar with my friends, and Jay went to Pride with her friends. We were texting throughout, as usual, and I made out with some random girl and told her about it. She complained that she didn’t get to mack on anyone at Pride, and I replied that I would’ve made out with her. And she was kind of shocked, and it obviously changed directions of our conversations.
After a lot of text flirting and late night phone calls in September and into October, Jay asked me to be her girlfriend on October 12th, 2011. That’s when we started our shared tumblr. We are exactly 2,484 miles apart - I’m in New Jersey and she’s in Nevada. I went to visit her for a week over New Year’s, and am going to visit her again in just 15 days. We’ll be together 8 months on June 12th, but we’ve known each other for 2+ years. I’m one lucky lady, and I plan to be with her for a very long time. She’s funny and smart and accepting and loving and caring and I really couldn’t ask for anything more in a girlfriend. Age difference and distance don’t matter.
The moment boyfriend and I became a “thing,” I called my mom to tell her, and her response was:
I didn’t know you liked anyone.
Needless to say, it went really well with mom.
Hey everyone! Sorry I haven’t done this in so long! I’ve had finals, moving, and just hectic life. But Summer is finally here for me and I have some down time! So here’s this week discussion on your Parents, do they know? Do they support you? Whatever the case, tell us your story! Last times posts, you can find those posts here, if you didn’t get a chance to check them out.
Submit! If you have any other questions, let us know!
Thanks! (:
I met Jay through a role play site a little more than two years ago now. We were just friends as the age difference was big and it made me oblivious to the fact that she had any legit interest in me. Plus, you gotta factor in the “meeting someone on the internet” thing. I will say that when we added each other on FB, I was like O_O because she was lovely. I didn’t pursue anything though. She’s from NV and I’m from NJ, and google maps says we’re about 2,484 miles apart.
Ugh. Last August, Jay went to Pride and I went to a gay bar with some friends and we were texting the whole time. Jay was bummed about not getting any action at Pride, and I was brave because of the terrible mixed drinks I’d had, so I told her that I would make out with her. Hell yeah, of course I would’ve. She was attractive and I’d gotten to know her quite well over the last year or so. This comment opened up a whole new world for us.
The idea that we could actually pursue something legit. After many late night phone calls and flirty banter, Jay asked me to be her girlfriend on October 12, 2011. I happily accepted. We’ve been together since. I was able to visit her for a week over New Years, and I’m going to be with her for nine days in June. We’ll be celebrating our 8 month anniversary together in Disneyland.
We started a tumblr together the day Jay asked me to be hers, and we consistently update it. We love meeting others in our situation, and are happy to offer suggestions and advice where we can. Feel free to follow our journey @thepandathegiraffe here on tumblr. Thanks for reading! :)
