"SO, ANO... tayo na?" You wait for her answer like a blank page waiting to be filled. The sun is beginning to set. The light is starting to dim. And the street lamps are slowly but systematically being lit - like an orchestration of a dance number in Fantasia. You stand in front of her. She looks at you for a few seconds. Then, she looks at you for few seconds more. Her bubblegum travels from inner left cheek to right. She blows a large blue bubblegum balloon. It blows up in the space between your faces. Then, she gathers it all in again. "Chige," she answers as she begins to chew once more. This is how you romanticize the first meet up with your online girlfriend.
Do you have an online relationship?
Instant coffee, instant mami, instant photo developing and instant messaging - almost everything has become within reach in an "instant." Do you really have to include relationships? Just add hot water and you may have an answer - then again, maybe not. Click here and find out - click coffee, click tea or click me. Everybody is obsessed with speedy solutions to daily necessities. Please exclude love.
Her answer comes out between her blue-stained teeth and lips - the color of her bubblegum. She bends forward, anticipating your kiss. You lean forward to plant a gentle one on her lips. She pushes herself toward you, French extraordinaire, and digs one deep into your surprised lips! If you met online and have decided to meet up one day, always be prepared for surprises. Ironic as it may sound, preparing for surprises, it is the name of the game. ("Meet up" is the new term for "EB," short for "eyeball" or coming face to face with your online pal).
If you love her, tell her. If she feels the same way, then go for it. Fast is not bad. But it is not always good either. Since now that you know that she (kind of) feels the same way when you finally met up after weeks of online correspondence, can you go slower this time? More often than not, "instant" relationships have "instant" endings. These are relationships that have not gone through the getting-to-know-you-better process. Most online relationships follow the same fate. Not unless, you go slower than slow after uploading, downloading and sharing personal info. Now that you are in a relationship with your beloved blue-lipped bubblegum French kisser, try to tone down your cyber stalking and concentrate on your personal relationship with her. In fact, you should lay low on your cyber life, in general. Learn to control your cyber addiction if you want to maintain your commitment. Besides, you have her now. And she seems like an exciting character. Are you still looking for someone else?
Everybody is a cyber stalker, one way or another. I am not against online dating, but I am not for it either. I must admit that online dating is still one of the easiest ways of meeting people. It is still a community. This community became the jumpstart of your relationship. It became the springboard.Now that you have a personal relationship with her, develop more your personal relationship with her. Discover more of each other every day.
"Bukas ulit?" She asks you as she enters the front door of her house. You stop walking away and turn back to look at her and say, "Anong oras?" She smiles. "Kita tayo sa chat later." You stop and think. "Wag na sa chat, sunduin na lang kita dito. Labas tayo."
Online chatting is just a medium. Now that the message had been carried across the medium, you can freely become your message.

This is for a friend who fell in love with someone she never even met. And this is for the guy who made my friend's heart skip a beat every phone call.
I just hope you guys will take your relationship to the next level if you really want to be together. You can't have a relationship that's purely based on daily phone calls and text messages because relationships are not only about saying the sweetest things and promises to your partner, but also building a personal relationship and bond together
