...met in 1997 also, when he found me via the ICQ directory, saw we had a common interest in art, and messaged me for the first time. We were friends immediately, and our feelings for each other grew rapidly after that. We talked on the phone all night, every night. At the time he lived in California and I lived in New York.
A year and a half later, he moved back to his home state of Maine, and along the way, he visited me, and so we finally met. It was fantastic. But I was just ending a relationship and he was definitely much more serious than I was, and not long after that, we lost touch.
I thought about him a lot over the years, but figured he'd be mad at me for being such a jerk. In July of 2003, I finally worked up the nerve and decided to look for him, and found him on ICQ, the same way he'd first found me.
We started talking again... a couple weeks later, I visited him for a week... and a month after THAT, at the end of September, I packed up my things and moved to Maine to be with him. And here we still are!
