So true. When you speak to someone everyday and you share details about your lives, it's impossible not to develop a friendship with someone. And it's a shame that not a lot more people can wrap their heads around what people have to do for a living. I can see how it would be a big sigh of relief to have someone to actually have some conversation and understanding with other than "turn around bb." I think many customers don't realize or don't care that there's a person on the other side of the screen with a life of their own.
I didn't want to turn this into a "I think I'm in love with what do I do?" thread, so I haven't said too many details. But, I'll share this small snippet. I'm 29, former military, guitar player/singer, and I've been told I'm easy on the eyes. We text everyday, sometimes video chat, sometimes phone call. And every time she's working, she let's me know beforehand and I stay the whole time and keep her company. The rest I'll keep to myself so I don't make a lengthy topic nobody wants to read haha. Ultimately, I know, nobody can tell me what she's feeling besides her. She's definitely told me and I guess it's up to me to decide what to believe.
Thank you for your responses, it has definitely been insightful.
