[Blindtlk] Internet dating for the blind

[jaber37837 at cox.net]

I've been a member of Eharmony off and on for about three years. Out of over 
500 guys I've been matched with, there was only one who tried to have a 
relationship with me. He lives in Oregon, and we were talking for about six 
months before he decided I needed to find someone closer to home. He asked 
me to visit him, and after that didn't work, he said he would come see me, 
but it never happened because he didn't have the money or the free time. Now 
three years later, we still keep in touch, which I'm happy about, but I feel 
as though I missed out on something good because of not having the resources 
to travel...both me as well as him. He told me that we could never be more 
than friends because he knows I would get too emotionally attached...so he 
stays on the west coast, and I stay on the east coast. I will admit to this 
too, he wasn't exactly a perfect gentleman...he had his moments of being 
something of a pervert. He's a really sweet guy though. Although we've never 
met in person, sometimes we finish each other's sentences. I won't say I 
know him like the back of my hand, but I know him pretty well. It really is 
too bad he lives so far away.
