Happy Monday!

This soldier proposed to his girlfriend less than a minute after meeting her for the first time. They'd been communicating for about a year via phone and Internet.

How long do you give their relationship?

Internet conversations can eliminate many of the superficial things that at times define a relationship's early stages.

Still, I think you need at LEAST a couple months of face-to-face communication before getting married. That's why I'm sometimes cynical about long-distance relationships. It's easy to fall in love with someone when you can turn off their annoying quirks by simply hanging up the phone. Real life is a lot harder.
