It's fair to say that a lot of people go about finding someone to fall in love with via the internet. Whether it be dating websites or Facebook many people use these methods to meet new people. Technology in general plays a big part in relationships. This, to a certain extent, is true for my relationship.
Without the influence of Facebook my relationship would never have begun. Although we were at the same school for many years and were already friends on Facebook, we never really knew each other or even really acknowledged each other. It was in an exam that he saw me and looked me up afterwards. That exam being the last time he would be in the school before leaving for university meant that he would never have the chance to come up to me in person. This is where the importance of Facebook comes in. He messaged me and from there we began texting.
So now we have yet another technological device aiding the foundations of our relationship, providing constant contact so that we got to know each other quicker than if say going on a few dates. But the texting did lead us to go on our first date. After that we knew we wanted to be together and had the entire summer to get to know each other better and become a real couple.
But when September came, he had to go to university. And I truly believe that without the help of texting, skype, Facebook and phone calls, we wouldn't have been able to survive long distance. But we did! We've been together almost three years now and we couldn't be happier. And of course, texting keeps us very close. We can't go more than a few hours without some form of contact.
These are some the adorable messages from him. And yes I call him angel, get over it! We think its cute!
