dated a girl from canada. i dont know why i liked her, but i just did. it ended really badly (she caught me cheating). she was pretty friendly and our short-lived relationship was pretty chill. She didn't ask for any personal details and our only contact was just graal classic, so it was pretty comfortable.
i eventually found it weird saying "i love you" to someone online everyday though. i felt like a loser. i really did like her though, so everything was genuine, but it didn't feel complete because of the ldr thing.
i would definitely give ldr friendship a go with steph though. she seemed chill.
