We all need love stories and romance in our lives, so can you tell us how you met your current significant other?

Sorry, that probably came out wrong. I wasn't at all criticizing your relationship or feelings for each other. I said what I did because I'm going through something similar. Neither one of us expected it, looked for it, or have ever been in this situation before. It just happened kind of by accident, a chance meeting on a game and we instantly felt like we clicked with each like we never had before. When we talk to each other, on the phone, Skype, online, and just kind of get lost in the moment we both agree it's the deepest, most amazing connection we've ever felt. Later when we start thinking about the circumstances, that we met on a game, haven't met in person though we've talked about it, what other people would think, etc. we've both admitted to feeling embarrassed about it and questioning it. The funny thing is for two weeks I was convinced he was going to tell me he loved me, kept saying he was falling for me and has been fighting it for the last year and can't anymore, and on and on. Then a week or so ago he pulled back, began talking about real life versus someone on a game, saying that it had turned his life upside down, that he needed to act like an adult no matter how much he enjoyed it. It was obvious before then that he was struggling and I thought I knew what was causing it, but at the same time have been telling myself I need to be smart and move on.
