This is a story about how Tofu-N-Sprouts and Froggy met....
One night, Tofu recieved a PM alerting her that Froggy, Evil Master of Doo Mmmm, was about and on the loose again. "Again? What does Micheal mean again? I've never even heard of this guy." Brandon wasn't a mod yet, so Froggy had him exactly where he wanted him. Tofu had to act quickly before Froggy was able to post yet another post about his faithful iron skillet. Realizing she was in her frog tie-dye and shorts, she ducked behind her chair and cam back out in her heroic frog tie-dye and shorts. She thought about removing her glasses to protect her identity, but she really needed to see the screen. Froggy wasn't really able to do that either, so there was no hiding of ...
Wait.... What? You mean you want the REAL story? Okay, okay... This is told from my perspective and I am hoping my love will provide hers.
One night, I was feeling pretty forlorn and sad. I desperately needed somebody to talk to. I desperately needed to gripe to somebody about my life, and a post in the Family and Relationships thread just was not going to cut it. There are very few people in person that I trust with my feelings... Very few that I think would want to actually hear my feelings. I had seen Tofu-N-Sprouts around on the boards. I did not really have a clue who she was, but she looked like a truly compassionate soul and someone I could gripe to for a night. I laid out my troubles in a PM, and sent it to her hoping for a response of sympathy.
Not only did I get a response of sympathy but she has actually been through what I am going through before! We instantly connected because she's made me feel more understood than I have felt in a long time. Maybe ever... I felt a connection almost immediately. After a few PM's, I desired so badly to talk with her that I met with her on Instant Messenger almost nightly. Sometimes we had truly interesting conversations, but I also needed someone I could just talk about learning how to ride my bike to and the progress I had made that day. No matter what we had to say or share, she was always there, always wanted to be there. We are both very highly affectionate souls and even though I could not just reach out and give her a real hug, I sent her (*hugs*) constantly. I could feel that she liked them just as much as I did and I really needed all the hugs I could possibly get. I think I've hit the jackpot and found an endless supply. I will never want for a hug again.
We kept talking on IM for several nights. Just different things about relationships. We had not gotten together yet, though it was most certainly in the back of my mind. I always just flew into things, and I was trying desperately to hit my brake. I think it must've been like only two weeks since I had broken up with my last girlfriend, so I was trying desperately not to just jump into things. On the night that we became girlfriend and boyfriend, I had no intention of it happening. I was just telling TNS about how badly I've had my heart broken in the past and what kind of care it needed. I needed only the most honest and sincere of people. I needed to be handled very gently. My heart really could not handle any more insensitivity, lack of thought, or downright meanness. I had really been through enough. While telling her this, however, I really felt a yearning and pulling toward her. Whether or not my mind felt like enough time had past, my heart was going to fly right to her. My fingers typed, "Please take good care of my heart." and hit the enter key. I just realized what I had said... and it was exactly what I wanted, but it terrified me a bit. This had better not be another mistake.
It was definitely time now to trade numbers and talk. (Okay, I am so bad with details, I am not sure whether the phone or the relationship came first, but it all came really close together.) It seems like the nightly routine we have now of just being with one another each evening as I take care of my evening house chores began so naturally. I often cook and narrate over the phone, and then become concerned I might be boring her. She told me that she just loves being with me (from so early on too!) and that my cooking sounds really good to her. She would be so happy if somebody made dinner for her. Cooking is such a pleasure and I love sharing it with people. We talked about so many foods that we both like. She seems to like just about everything I do. Well, we know she does not like bananas and hates popcorn. I could easily survive without popcorn. You usually put heavy calories on it to make it better anyway. Just from being on the phone with each other so much, we can tell that we are compatible in so many ways. As a matter of fact, when I went to visit her in Seattle and we had been together for a few days, I told her “I think God made both of us with the other in mind.”
I’ve met a lot of different women over the Internet. The whole internet dating thing is not new to me. Yet, for some reason, I was nervous as heck when it came time to get on the plane to go to Seattle. There have been so many times when you think you know a person, or they’ve told you something about themselves, but it does not mean the same thing to you as it does to them. I’ve tried to tell people how affectionate I am before, and really they had no idea what they were talking about when they claimed to be affectionate to. I also needed to know that everything really was what I was seeing and being told. I arrived in Washington and saw the incredibly emotional eyes of TNS. I approached her and she swept me in and kissed me the most passionately I have ever been kissed. Everything really was as it appeared over the phone. She loves me more than I can possibly fathom it seems. I’ve never loved someone so much and they just absolutely beam and burst with love back. I’ve never had that in my entire life. Everything was not just okay. It was wonderful.
And on the trip, I did get a chance to cook for her amongst other things. And she loves my cooking. And I just love every bit of her. I can not wait until we see each other in person again. I can’t wait until we’re together…
