Well, Meepo, we knew each other for a year and a half before we got romanticly interested in each other... we talked on the phone and went on to meet in person. After about 6 mo's of a long-distance relationship, she moved in with me

! (we lived 1,000 miles away from each other, ouch). Anyway, she's a gamer, into alot of the geeky things i'm into, wonderfully smart, amazingly charming and completely beautiful

, so I definately lucked out.
We were both aware that a relationship which started like this has alot of hurtles and we both knew that the odds of it working out weren't great... I tried not to fall completely head over heals until she had moved over here (not that it worked

), I didn't want to go through the terrible heart-ache of showing up at her doorstep and she changing her mind at the last minute. When she moved in we agreed to live together for one year and if we saw we weren't right we'd split up, hopefully without too many feelings hurt... well it's been two years now and we're thinking about the next step in the relationship

.
P.S.: Our EQ characters never did marry though, we both quit playing when she moved in
