This was a chat through Gmail that first day. I've taken many of my posts out, but this shows some of the interaction, rather than just copy and paste email. I noticed this first chat that when I asked questions of "him" he was evasive or had "internet problems." He had never counted on meeting someone who had quite a lot of knowledge of the military.

frankcolton50: Oh okay so What have you learned from past relationships..?
1:53 PM me: To trust my gut instinct and not get caught up in the spit polish shine of it all in the beginning....
to take things slowly and watch them develop, instead of jumping too quickly into something before it's appropriate.
to give and take and be patient in the process of that.
1:56 PM frankcolton50: I have learned from past experiences that honesty and listening are very important. Communication is important. Never try and change that person but take them with all their faults. Be caring and thoughtful. Never go to bed mad or angry. Discovering new things together day to day helps keep the relationship alive...
