I'm Z, from the Philippines & my boyfriend's Jonathan, from Canada.
So, this is our story.
So one night, I was bored & I decided to troll around Omegle for a bit. I was trying to look for some decent people to talk to (even found some Tumblr people! YAY) and that’s when I came across Jonathan. He was one of the few decent people who weren’t perverts. So, we started talking about the most random things, and next thing we know, we’ve been talking for 8 hours. I had stayed up all night, and it was 8am when we finally stopped talking. We exchanged Skype and said we’ll talk again later.
Ever since then, we have talked everyday. I liked him when I first met him, he was nice, sweet & cute. But, I initially thought he was just going to be another one of my online friends. I never thought that we could ever be more than friends. We’ve been talking nonstop for a month & every day I talked to him, I liked him even more.
We were talking about how much we liked each other, and it was killing the both of us. He was in Canada, I was in the Philippines. We were so far away from each other, and it was killing us. But there was one question that started everything.
Jonathan asked, “Will you wait for me?”
I smiled and said, “Of course I will.”
That question basically started everything. Every day, we would talk. Morning and night, for as long as we can. I never got bored talking to him. There were moments that we would just sit there & not talk, but I didn’t care. Having him on screen and just smiling there, I was happy. There were moments that we would just sit there and talk about how much we liked each other. I couldn’t believe that I could feel like this for someone so far away, and someone I met online. It was crazy, but it was happening.
About month after we started talking, I realized I love him. How’d I realize this? Well, we were Skyping one night (I was chatting because I couldn’t talk at the moment), and we were just joking around. I forgot what we were talking about, but I was saying I hated him and he kept saying,
“You know you love me.”
“Lol, yeah. I love you. Wait, no, kidding, I still hate you.” was my initial reply.
We were doing that for a few hours. I didn’t think about it much, until the next day. We were still doing the whole “I love you, loljk I hate you” thing. Somewhere along our conversation (I was typing & he was talking), I realized that I meant it when I said I loved him. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I mean, I’ve known him for a really short amount of time and he’s 8000+ miles away from me. I didn’t know what to do, so I figured I should tell him.
“You know what, I meant what I said.” I typed in skype at one point of our conversation.
“What did you say?” he asked, confused.
“Figure it out, I’ve been saying it repeatedly.” I replied.
It took him about an hour to figure out what I actually meant. When he did, his face went serious, and said,
“All you said was you hated me, kidding and-” he said, and stopped abruptly. He looked at me with a serious face. “I know what you mean. Why don’t you just say it?”
I stuttered. I didn’t know what to tell him, so I typed up, “I don’t know.”
“Just say it.” he said.
So, I took all the courage inside me and typed I love you in the Skype chatbox. When I finally said it (or well, typed it) he looked at me for a few seconds, and said something I didn’t expect him to say. He said, “I love you too.”
When I heard him say those words, a huge smile spread across my face. I didn’t expect him to say that. I would understand if he didn’t feel the same way. But he did and he still does. That was one of the happiest days of my life. At this point though, we still haven’t figured out what we were. So a few days later, I asked him.
“What are we? What is this?” I asked.
“I don’t know, what is it?” was his reply.
“Well, we have to figure this out.” I answered.
“Well, I treat you like my girlfriend.”
“I treat you like my boyfriend too!”
“That’s it then, you’re my girlfriend.” Jonathan said, and I just laughed, and agreed.
“I’m your girlfriend & you’re my boyfriend.” I said, laughing.
It might not have been the most epic or the most romantic way to figure things out, but it is our story. It’s what happened I wouldn’t change it for the world. That happened last July 13, 2012. Ever since that day I’ve been the happiest I’ve ever been. He makes me happier that anyone ever could. I don’t care what everyone else thinks, I love him more than anything in this entire world. We still haven’t been physically together, but that day will come.
Being in a long distance relationship is not easy. It takes twice the work, and you need to be serious about this. This isn’t something that you can just play along with. But I know that it’ll be worth it. It’ll be worth the wait & work. I’ll do anything & I’ll wait for as long as I have to, for that day that I get to be in his arms. While waiting for that day to come, I guess Skype dates will just have to do.
So that’s our story, I hope you guys liked it somehow!
