Thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He: I picture you as a Venus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She: Oho&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He: Do you often chat with strangers? I don&#8217;t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She: Neither do I. I mean I don\u2019t mind. But it doesn\u2019t happen often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the beginning, they talked nothing substantial. They asked what was the time in their respective places, what\u2019s the weather like, what they do for living etc. It was not important if they talked truth but what was important was they were communicating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He: Hello, here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She: Hi! Good to see you, now! Early huh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He: Do you think me a guy who roams late night?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She: Ha-ha&#8230;you are a guy who keeps posting pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;He: A good line<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She: You seem to be quite popular online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He: Yes, but the people I meet online cannot be the ones like I can touch and feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She: Touching is that important? Words can&#8217;t make you feel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He: Words are hollow. Hey, did you think touching in another way&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She: No! Just like the way you think. You mean our talks are hollow?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;He: How do you know what I&#8217;m thinking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She: Not exactly. But I can predict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As they chat more often, they begin to open up.&nbsp; They accepted that in the beginning they made stories and tried to hide the truth. They said they did not want any Tom, Dick, and Harry to know about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She: Do you mind voice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He:&nbsp; I mind<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She: Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He: Can&#8217;t speak!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She: Hmm&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He: I\u2019m dumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;She: Then the skype is screwed. I\u2019m also dumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;He: And also deaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;She: I mean too shy. Really?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;He: Yes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She: Ok. Do you miss me when I\u2019m away?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;He:&nbsp; I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She: Don&#8217;t lie; I know you don&#8217;t because if you did, you could have mailed me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He: If you are so sure about the answer then why did you ask me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She: Just my hypothesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;He: Your hypothesis is so wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;She: What&#8217;s right? Tell me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He: I was so much engrossed with work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;She: Yes I know, you have a busy schedule. That made you forgot me right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;He: Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;She: It&#8217;s okay&#8230;at least your here now..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;He: Only for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She: But it\u2019s not nice to be forgotten no matter how busy a person is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The affair continues&#8230;..and they live happily ever after in the virtual world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actually, they did not meet on a dating site.\u00a0 However, they were building a relationship in the virtual world.
