I met someone online who lives in England (I'm in the US). We developed a close freindship fairly quickly, about 2 weeks. I started to develop a crush on him and that kinda freaked me out. I told him that we shouldn't correspond anymore because I think that it was too hard on the both of us. He says that he doesn't hate me but I feel really horrible about the whole thing. I just didn't want things to get complicated. My friends say to just forget the whole thing, but that is easier said than done.
I really miss him. But I know that feelings would have developed if the friendship were to go on. What should I do?....get over it and forget it since he is so far away?
I tried to explain my side to him but I think that he doesn't see my point. I know that I hurt him...what can I do to make this right? Thanks

If you think you need to live it so live it! Who knows about future? But try to live your real life too. It happened with me once and it was the most beautiful thing for me. Anyways if you can forget him..well..try it. But dont leave him if you really miss to talk with him.
I hope to have helped you :)
I wish you all the best!!!

Oh dear - he could have been down the street for all it mattered. With email and sending pics you can develop a friendship and then feelings for your neighbor or someone 5 time zones away. The plus side to your situation, is that since the both of you are so far apart, you are forced to get to know one another before talking anything serious about meeting in person. It's not like you can meet at the Starbucks around the corner from where you live or anything. Open up the friendship again, for anything, just to learn about life in another place.

I live in a little Island state of Australia, called Tasmania and met a guy on-line from California.
We talked on the net and on the phone, we fell in love very fast within a few weeks. Since then (2 yrs later) we have met, he has been here, I have been there for 3mths, now we are planning to be together for good.
Don't think nothing can come of your relationship there are many marriages out there that started on-line, and if nothing else you may have found yourself a good friend.

I think you did the right think. My daughter became very close to a guy in the military and moved to the state where he was stationed. After a few weeks she got engaged and about a month after that she married him. I haven't seen her in almost a year. She broke my heart and hurt the rest of the family . I think he turned out not to be what was expected. So you are absolutely doing the right thing. Be strong and move on.

If he's willing to pick up where the friendship left off then go from there. Some relationships do get off to a less than easy beginning. Life's that way. If he cant get over it ...just consider it a clue that he may not be easy to get along with in the future. Good luck.

Some things can't be fixed. Luckily, you only invested 14 days in this, so the pain will fade quickly. You'll be happier with your in-person friends, doing things, enjoying life. You were right to put a stop to it before things got out of control. Tell him goodbye, wish him well, chalk it up to life experience and let it go.

It is almost impossible to have a relationship on line and get all the true feelings going. Women tend to believe in it more than men. For your own sanity find someone who is local.
