As much as I enjoyed being here as much as I can, and having all the fun, I also feel that maybe I should just walk away from it.
The reason I say that is because I know that for me their really is no hope of meeting somebody, due to the fact I am so far away, and everybody that becomes interested in me is hundreds of miles away...and I am unable to leave my state because of my little girls medical treatment.
I also would not expect someone to give up there home state for me.
What makes it more difficult, is that for the first time since I have been here, I have become interested in someone that is unattainable, even if he lives in the US...and of course he does not know, lol.
I guess my point is, I am confused...I don't know if all the friends I made and all the fun I have is enough to stop my illusions, and that is kind of hard, yes I am 41 yrs old, but feel 18 right now...go ahead and laugh at me, but I hope someone can understand this....do I make any sense at all....this is bad...I can give advice in my field...and I can't help myself tonight...
I'd stick around if I were you. Maybe you won't find that special someome & maybe you will. He could be right around the corner. Isn't this site more than just finding your soulmate? It is for me,I'm meeting lots of new & interesting people.

Yes that is exactly what I have said, it is more that about finding a soulmate...I have a lot of fun, but I can not deny that an attraction is in my mind that I can not pursue...or perhaps any other...their is almost like a lack of balance in my life right now.
I can stay...which is what I want to do....but their is a void that I need to fill too.
Although some of our reasons may be different, I do know how you feel.
I have been here a year and a half and although I communicate with a few people, many are many, many miles away and even those within a 5 hour radius are unattainable, disinterested or take your pic.
What has kept me here is the availability of being able to express myself and the potential for good friends. I therefore do not consider it as a "no succes" in the romance department, but rather a true success in the friends department, so I only gained....
Perhaps you should consider what is attainable, even if it measures up to being friendship...
This beau of yours might reciprocate the feelings.
He may like to get to know you via CS and then maybe come to visit you, and then decide that you are too good to miss out on, and he may want to move.
But the overriding thing is ... have you asked him?
What do you have to lose?
You dont have him now, and if he is any sort of human being in touch with any sort of feelings, then he will not be so churlish as to ignore you.
Admittedly this thread would sort of give it away if he read it. after you mailed him ... but faint heart never won fair maiden/guy (Delete as applicable)
You just never know what may happen. You can always keep your profile up and now and again check it out if spending too much time on here is a concern.

You are all so wonderful...and I love that..I came without expectations...and somehow, it's like something just hit me really hard, lol...like new feelings woke up in me.
I do want to re-enforce the fact that the friendships and wisdom I have found here is greater than everything..and it is what keeps me comming back....I never even look on the search part of this site, because I am not interested in viewing guys, I do however, look back at those that have look at my profile.
The interaction in the forums and the e-mails and flowers is also great.
I really want to stay...but I have to get rid of that illusion in my mind too.
I am staying...but I JUST WONDER HOW LONG THIS FOOLISH FEELING WILL STAY WITH ME,LOL.
Thanks to all of you, always ready with support and kind words.
Its definitely understandable,but, there are men out there that givin the right circustances would be willing to sacrifice the lives they know for love
No sweetie, keep your real physical life going...... I know EXACTLY how you feel. Just stay here for friends and for .... yeah online acquaintences.
Lose the illusions, that can happen anytime, before we ever heard of the internet, I had all kinds of illusions. The point is, you can be disillusioned anywhere, anytime under any circumstances.
The good thing is, our kids already seem to know this. This is just new to us and we expect more. Look at it from the perspective that this is just a tool, NOT an answer.

You guys are very right...Belushi, I can't tell him...for the simple fact that I know, he has a dedicated life to his children...if there were no children, I be able to tell him...I know he likes me.
By the way no guessing allowed, because their is more than one guy that likes me..... but I only like one....
As to the other response, that is just as great, I know that somebody might give everything up one day if they really want me, and move up to my state.....I just can't see it too realistic right now...and I am not feeling sorry for myself at all....I guess I am feeling kind of empty inside...

I wish you the best in meeting your friend, and I am glad you found each other. ..............................
PS:I do have a life outside the forums a very active one, but the most part of my life is spent working and going to the hospital three times a week with my daughter...the internet became an escape of the challenges I overcome everyday...that is how I ended up here....and then became addicted to the everyday real life emotions, that we all share, and support for each other.
well,gf move over,i met someone yes me with all the hunks,but he is so out my reach,and it tears me up inside,but on cs u see me happy,and im crying here tonight,
