Hi, I'm Jackie and my boyfriend's name is Tony. I live in New York, NY and he lives in San Jose, CA, and we've been together for almost two years now 
Tony and I met on Omegle. We met on July 1, 2010, and the first thing he said was, "You're not one of those creepers, are you?" so I knew he was safe haha. We talked for about an hour about where we lived, and he thought I was so into fashion because I live in New York, and I thought he surfed because he lives in California. We showed each other pictures and then added each other on Facebook.
A month or so later, we spoke again, and by that September, we were good friends. He had a long distance girlfriend (farther from him than me) at the time, and I had, well, a pathetic excuse for a boyfriend. He treated his girlfriend so well, and that was the reason I broke up with my boyfriend. A few weeks after, he broke up with his girlfriend because she was getting involved with drugs and her ex-boyfriend came into the picture. I started to have feelings for him towards the end of both of our relationships, and I knew it was possible because he had already done distance, but I didn't think too much of it because he seemed to still love her and care about her. He still wanted to be her friend after they broke up, and that was when i realized how fucking phenomenal this guy was. Time passed and we grew closer until I realized that I was really crazy about this guy.
On December 7th, 2010, we were talking as usual on Facebook and I told him I loved him (something normal in our friendship at the time). He told me he loved me too, and I said "No, but you have no idea how much I love you." & he said "Well if you tell me, I'll know..." and I awkwardly told him how I felt haha. He felt the same way, but he was worried about how the distance would affect that and about our age difference (I was 15 at the time, and he was 18). After a while, he was comfortable with it and we moved on. We found out a lot of deep dark shit about each other's past, and I was scared it would make him change his mind about me, but he told me he didn't love me any less, no matter what, and I felt the same.
On January 28, 2011, I heard his voice for the first time over the phone, and by that March we were calling each other every night because neither of us had cell phones before that. His voice was (and still is) so comforting and he always makes me laugh. In May of 2011, he told me he had the money to see me and he would try to come that summer, but he was nervous. He wanted to see me on some video-chat device thingy before we met, and we Facebook-Skyped for the first time early September. When he was reassured of how I would react to him, he bought plane tickets and we met on Christmas of 2011. He was waiting for me because I was later than we expected, and both of us were insanely nervous, but we got comfortable with each other very fast. He met both of my sisters that day, and he met my mom two days later. He left on January 3, 2012 and I didn't see him again until August 2nd, exactly seven months after the last time I saw him. He stayed for three weeks, and we had some of the best and worst parts of our relationship in that time.
Now he's back in California, three time zones away from me. It hasn't even been two months yet, but I still miss him every time I smell him on my clothes. However, we have a chance to close the distance for good; Tony applied to a school over here and we get the results of his application in a few weeks. If he makes it, I'm probably going to see him around Christmas again and he won't be leaving this time :') If not, I'll probably see him around the last week of January. Either way, I have something to look forward to.
