Love is complicated. Sometimes I hate this fact and others I love it, but you can't avoid the complications. I don't usually like talking about myself to other people so if other people want to know what's going on they can just come here and see how insane I really am.

It feels like I traded one complication for another. My previous boyfriend had been my everything, we were inseparable. If you knew about me then you knew about him and usually we were found together around school ... but after high school I felt a shift. We were on different planes and then we broke up. I was hoping to have some time where I wasn't dating, but then it happened again.

I let myself fall again. And with someone on a different continent! I don't care what anyone says about internet dating, whether it works or not, but there are two very real people on either side of the screen. But instead of looking at looks before personality, you have to turn it upside down; you have to have a great personality first because that is how you meet.

Darren and I actually met in April of last year. He was my RP partner for a long time and I knew he lived in England from the very beginning. I was still dating my ex at that point so I didn't acknowledge him as anything more then just ... well, my RP partner.

But after Dennis and I broke up it became different. Everything was different, I was able to see everyone (in the virtual and real world) as different people. Before I felt like my mind was clouded and everyone was put through a filter because I had been dating someone.

Our relationship changed drastically over a few days and I felt like I wanted to know everything about him. We had always been kindred spirits ( aka nerds D: ) but it went to a different level. Even to this very moment I wish he told me more and indulged on my wanting to know more about him and his life since I'm the kind of person that goes into all of her endeavors full-throttle with energy and vigor.

But, alas, he isn't as willing as I hoped to share every facet of his being so now I'm afraid to talk too much and scare him away. D: My life isn't that interesting to begin with, but I'd really love to know more about my own damn boyfriend.

Especially since that 'really, really like' feeling is starting to turn into love.

He's probably going to read this and think I'm insane.
