Do you have "special" relationship online? or relationship with someone "special"?

[Noctosphere]

Hello
I just wanted to see who else got special relationship online like me
Personally, I have a strong friendship with a 50 years old man
He's a veteran from Iraq and Afghanistan if i remember right...
He became veteran after he lost a leg due to a mortar shot

Now, he's a farmer and crop mainly a special kind of giant watermelon, as well as raising pigs and hunting boar
It's been about 7-8 years that I play with him online
He lives in Texas and recently, jokingly, he offered me a job at his farm...
I don't know if he was serious or not...
But honnestly, it would be a fun experience, don't you think?

I'm not afraid of kidnapping or such, I mean, if he wanted to lure me, he wouldn't have waitted 7 years to do so, right?

And you, do you have any special relationship with someone special online?

I have to say, the use of quotes around the word "special" suggest something sexual in English.

I have made a lot of friends through gbatemp, but what constitutes a special relationship?

Quite a hard on, don't know why'd you wait 7 years.
My special relationships are with bill employees. They greet me every morning of the week.

Oh my god, sexuality wasn't my intention at all
In Quebec, special in quotes means different from normality

change it if you think it might confuse people

I have (what I consider) great online friends that I love dearly. Many of them from this site.

But nothing more "special" in any way. Sadly.

EDIT: And I mean nothing "special" as in nothing romantic or anything along those lines.

Honestly thought the same thing, maybe "platonically special"?

Anyways, to answer the question, I've met a few people that I would consider my friends and we even do a weekly podcast for Temp!

I do like him yea, but as a friend, not as a lover

I really don't think that wink emote is helping your case so much.

I think you like him, it's ok, but you have to release your feelings, 8 yrs is a damn lot

Yep as has been said by others in English when you say you have a special relationship or someone is a special friend ect it's a way of saying you are in a gay relationship without actually saying you are gay lol.

I also have a special friend.
This special friend likes you as well!

You might be familiar with him!
He lives on the Edge of the Forum.
