I've done one of these too!

Me in SE England, we met in Washington DC in September 2003. Saw each other again every couple of months (was as much as my wallet could stand) until she moved to San Francisco in September '04, went to see her out there once. She then moved back to the East Coast in February '05 and I moved here in September of '05. Got married in March '06 and all going well so far.

Wasn't quite sure what I was getting myself into when we first met but it worked out for the best! A combination of email, phone, IM, easy flights and not too different time zones didn't make it all that difficult practically. Emotionally it was tough going though, nearly every time I went to an airport it was either a very exciting day or a miserable one waiting for another 7 or 8 weeks to roll around again. My friends at Uni thought it was odd/mysterious/weird/exciting/an expensive way to get laid (delete as applicable)

My brother wasn't too sympathetic. He was seeing a girl who then moved 45mins drive away and said he'd have to break up with her because the long distance was tough! At the time Kirstin and myself were 3800 miles apart...
