Ambrose2007: I was wondering the same thing. Whether or not they've met in person has some relevance to this situation. First, it's relevant to the reality of the professed emotions (love not being likely sans physical meeting, so the likelihood of illusion is much higher), and second, a day without communication is less grievous for those who know each other in person, I think (though one day isn't particularly grievous in any case; sometimes it's the best medicine during a disagreement).

Third, if your relationship is exclusively "virtual," that places a different and often more problematic set of difficulties, where ceasing communication might be more significant than in a "Real Life" relationship.

I'm glad to hear you've re-established contact. For what it's worth, I see nothing at all alarming or unusual in the man's response or in your situation in general. Love ain't easy - particularly the initial feelings of vulnerability until your relationship clarifies.


Im wondering how you could be so deeply in love with someone youve never met? dunno

ComedyLover: I'm don't understand why men run scared when a woman says I love you, before they do.

They need space to figure out if they are serious too and what their own feelings are.

dezertfox4323: because women only care about themselves, most are selfish. also they dont care how the man feels so screw em.



desert person that simply is not true. I have seen it work the other way tho....cool

but I won't go into details for the sake of privacy

I think it's safe to say that intimacy can only thrive in a give & take type of relationshipcomfort hug

Desertguy49: The word love is not one to be tossed about casually and some serious thoughts and implications can arise if it is. Feelings get hurt if things turn out to be not what they seemed. Sometimes it's hard to decipher between love and lust. I think it takes some time to get a true feel as to which direction the relationship between a couple is headed. I would not choose to jump into something feet first that I was not 99.9% sure of.
great advice.. love may be the most overused word in the English language.. I'm not even sure that most of know the true meaning.. like, love or lust, my advice would be to slow down.. if nothing else his hesitation should at least be cause for a pause.. JMHO

I tend to agree, establishing a good friendship online is an entirley feasible goal, but real emotional feelings can only be established through physical contact. Perhaps there's other factors weighing in such as infatuation with what seems real but in reality is not or possibly loneliness,or........???
dunno

rohaan: Take it easy, Bud. The lady needed a little tenderness, in my opinion, and I felt like being there. I'm aware it's not about looks. I just felt like giving a lady a nice, genuine hug. Is that all right with you? Here, you can have one too. and thanks for the letter.
rolling on the floor laughing dude you are awesome!!!

Desertguy49: Not as in LOVE.


I have been through a couple of online LDR relationships of a few months duration. I opted out of them mostly because I just couldn't feel the love through a keyboard and monitor, had I met these women in person the outcome may have been different.dunno
