I met this guy online and we have yet to meet. At first, I have blown him off considering he's younger than me; we have different religions; and he live in Egypt and I am in the Philippines. But then, he was persistent and have won my lonely heart. We've been in touch through e-mail, YM chats, SMS and telephone calls. I've learned to be patient because I truly want to give this relationship a chance and he has come to rely on me. However, lately this relationship has become one-sided - I am the only one making an effort to connect with him. He has valid reasons, many of which I hold on to dearly just to validate my foolish pride. I've tried to replace him with others but alas, my heart have settled on him.
Have mercy on me and help me recover from this insanity I've accustomed to.

Maybe the newness wore off. Maybe to many differences. Maybe you could look closer to home. Good luck. God bless.

He' s too far away for you to pursue it effectively. People can reinvent themselves on the internet and in almost every case will be someone entirely different when you meet in person. Has he expressed any interest whatsoever in meeting you in person? While, I wouldn't personally recommend it, I would make sure he is willing to split the cost of travel with you no matter which of you is travelling to the other. Also, how can he rely on you when you've never met? If it were me, I'd continue trying to find someone more "local" to you!

From personal experience of meeting a guy online (my friends childhood friend from her childhood town) it doesn't work out. We spoke online as friends, it started off with him persisting me to talk to him and form a relationship. We did form a friendship but I was hesitant to start one, I refused to say we were dating and dated other people while we were still friends. He came to visit for the first time over spring break and I became very fond of him. After he graduated he moved down where I lived to attend the college near by. We started dating and were together almost a year, but it didn't work out because I fell harder for him and he fell less and less out of love with me. My advise is to forget this guy because you need to have a relationship with someone you live near, someone you can hug and kiss and talk to face to face. Without that I don't think it can be a true relationship regardless of how strong your feelings are for him!! Good luck, and remember to always follow your heart.
