I met that girl online. I was in Canada at the time. wanted to work in Europe one day. she was living in Berlin.

I decided that it was time to find a job in Europe. hopefully Berlin. I ended up in Villingen-Schwenningen (south of Germany 750 km from Berlin). We met, it worked out. we are now going out for 6 months. I'm looking for a job in Berlin right now. We see each other every 2 or 3 weekends, I usually go there. it take 7 to 8 hours of train, then I spend like 36 hours with her then come back again with a 7 to 8 hours trip.

Now we have to wait for 5 weeks because her roommate is selfish and need to study for her exam and doesn't want me to be there. I don't even talk to her when I'm there. anyway.

That long distance relationship is hard but if you really love the person it's worth it. I don't really believe in that one person for you, but if that thing is true I'm pretty sure it's her.

I could relate to some of your stories too. what Sharon says : "The hardest thing I find is the sneaky little thoughts that go through your head.what's he doing, he said he was doing (whatever) this evening.why doesn't he answer the phone." I tried to be less worried now. but in the beginning it was awful.

Anyway if you want more information feel free to contact me.

I'm a Canadian in a long distance relationship with a Brit right now and honestly I love the guy more every day and miss him more every day. We met in a chatroom 2 years ago and hit it off as instant friends. We chatted here and there for a year, with fondness for eachother, but nothing more as we were both in serious relationships. Then, my marriage started falling apart and his relationship fell apart. I comforted and was there for him and in that whole process of just being there as a friend we allowed ourselves to get to know eachother on a more emotionally intimate level and found ourselves falling in love. I was still married at the time so I fought it for a long time. But I knew my marriage was over so I eventually gave in...I left my marriage and soon there after went to meet my guy. We hit it off almost instantly :) We were both pretty shy for the first hour or so :p Anyways, it just cemented our feelings for eachother so after a few amazing months together I came back to Canada and got a job and started saving. I'm now just waiting to try for an ancestry visa as my gran was born in Scotland. I'm so nervous and hopeful and desparately in love...but I'll tell you one thing, this journey may be diffuclt at times, but it's been worth it, so well worth it. If you have any questions please feel free to ask :)

Good to hear the positive. I'm a Canadian dating a Canadian living in the US (on TN visa). As I only have a 2 year Human Services Diploma,& extensive Program Management experience, I don't see that I fall into any category to qualify for TN visa. Can't imagine doing the long distance thing for years, if the end result is still that I don't qualify. Any advice?
