u made me reminisce our courtship period......our virtual dating ;-) . anyone eager to hear our story ? can expect it in future..

Well, 15yrs wait (thts way too long !!!! ) will happen only in reel life and not real life. wat u say ? But in case of such long distance relationships, may be it is possible. As they've spent a long time apart, then I believe there should have been so much said, it's more of pragmatism.

"so can 2 people, who have never met, remain apart for such a long time and still be in love??"...answer lies in the question itself !!!!! They are strongly in love 'coz they 've never met ;-)
Sang. lets watch the movie 2gether :-)

u said it kavi they r so much iin love, cos they ve never met.
For 15 years he was lliving on some fantacy, moreover no responsibiility. onlly letters & world full of dreams.:)

And i ven guess he had fear of responsibilitty for 15 years, so wanted to be in a wonderlannd full of fantacy and love expressed thru words, and no physical commitments.
Sangeeth, i dont knoow anything abt this movie,
but if a man wants to stayy away from family life for whatever reason, i can think of only 2 reasons, one is medical , physical insecurity - IMPOTENCY , Second is emotional insecurity with fear of responsibility. For exchanging lettters he donnt need both, plus he can live in fantasy.

geesh!!! iam waaay tooo young to comment on this topic!! maybe aftr couple of yrs i might be able to give a crct opinion!!
but unlike the olden days, MMS, SMS, messengrs etc hav to an extnt destryed relationships too....the idea of "MISSING" one anotr is lost...i bet for a 1000USD tat in real life if this hero and japanese wife ws communicating via yahoo messengr..the chances for the relationship to last for 15 yrs is 0.001%!!
Does any of you luv birds feel otherwise???enlightn me pls!!
