Well getting attached to someone you talk to online is an bit extreme,granted there are some cool people with decent personality but to be truthful any one can portray that online if they know how to talk to people. TO want to go stay with someone over the summer that you've talked to online is moving a little quickly dont ya think? I am sorry that you are sad but think about it this person could have been bad for you and things happen for a reason take it as a learning experience. I would move on and try and meet someone locally, or at least if I talk to them online meet them and get to know them in person before I make a leap that big

Either try to continue the relationship you have. If the distance is too much and the relationship is basically over, it's time to formally end it. That way both of you know that it's over and can move on without hurting the other by cheating.

No there is nothing wrong with that keep your long distance relation but you always need to complete it with a local physical contact relation... That will work...

Well, lets start by saying 2 of my cuzz met their soulmates from chatrooms are are still very much in love.I personally met mine from there too.Yeah, people can lie abt everything on the net but you gotta meet them in the flesh.And you just take it from there, if it doesnt work, move on.Lets face it, the guys n gals we meet outside sometimes don't work out either..Just go with the flow and most importantly, follow your heart.

Be funny if it was your partner!!\n\nFace it, there's a big difference between online and face-to-face so be prepared to have your illusions shattered (sorry, I don't mean to sound so negative!).\nYou say you haven't felt like this for years, so what are you doing with your girlfriend then?\nI don't know how old you are, but by the sound of it you've already made your mind up.  If you are going to leave there may be no way to do it without hurting your partner.  I guess you've got to have a talk to her and say that you don't feel the same way anymore.  I suppose you should be honest and say that you've just stuck around in the relationship even though you haven't felt anything much (why, I don't know) then when something special has happened between you and an online friend you've suddenly fallen in love.\n\nI've got to say it sounds like you just haven't been that honest with yourself or your girlfriend.

No, cuz a lot of the time they live too far away. If you go to a chat room w/ peeps who are local, then they may make up excuses NOT to meet up or something. There seems to alwayz be a catch. Take me for example, I wanna meet my friend Mikey. Just to meet. But he wasn't able to meet me. That or he didn't want to :( Well actually, maybe it IS easier ... "to get a gf online" that is. Just that the rel (if there is one) won't be anything physical. Not til the 2 of you decide to meet. Mikey & my friend (who are going out :s) plan on meeting one day. They haven't yet. They broke up but got back together. I think that they're both desperate for a rel... shhhhhhh don't tell them I said dat :$ Also, he's had another online gf. But she lived reeeeeeeally far up north... Hrs away... She ended up cheating on him w/ her ex when she went to visit Mikey... :s How do you know if the person is who they say they are anywayz ? & if their feelings are real ?

I'm also in a long-distance relationship. They ARE hard but I've been making mine work for over 3 years now. We have another year 10 months or so to go before we can finally be together permanently. We HAVE spent 2 of the 3 summers together so that's good but other than that it's usually a weekend once a month.\n\nThings we do to keep happy is...staying busy. I never let myself sit around doing nothing because I will inevitably start missing him and feeling upset about it. So I try to keep myself busy with homework and activities and friends, of course. We talk every night to stay up to date in each other's lives and email sweet, cute and funny stuff throughout the day. We sometimes send letters with really nice teabags to remind the other of us. We send pictures and make things that remind them of us so that when we look at them, we feel happy to have them in our lives instead of immediately going to "why aren't they here?" Long-distancing is certainly not for everyone. It takes a certain kind of person and a certain kind of relationship.

lond distance relationships work only when both parties are into each other..make frequent calls..wish the other on his/her birthday...keep in touch..u know..stuff like that.

if you feel confortable, get each others phone numbers. \nYou can talk to him and see what he is really about. \nI personally met my boyfriend of so far 2 years online, we talked online for 2 months, and things have been going perfectly by now. \nIf you decide to meet him, make sure you know enought of him and feel comfortable. Bring a friend along for safety

I found my best friend online - my wife.  It was nearly 4 years ago now.  Keep trying - but never rule out finding friends in the real world - they tend to have less to hide!

Ok, first, He "Says" he's only 2 years older than you. He "Says" you're in 2 different states. He could be 50 and right next door! Friends online is plenty safe enough, if you keep it that way. Stay friends online for a while longer, more than 2 weeks, more like 5 or 6 months. If he doesn't get tired of it, and you want to exchange phone #'s then, at least you have some time in and have a better idea if he's real or not.

Honesty lies in the heart/soul of whoever you are talking with, I personally dont date online, I believe there is ALWAYS a little something that's not being told by one or the other...see, lonely women, they fall so easily, so when a guy gets online and is like "oh I love you, I want you to move to me, we can have a family and ohh baby this, oohh baby that" and it most always ends up in ...well....it ends up badly. lol...If you're looking for someone online, talk for awhile on the computer, after you "BOTH" are comftorable, talk on the phone, send cute little gifts through the mail....and when you both feel like you can't live your life without the other one, make arrangments to meet in person (public place of course)...if that goes well, do it a few more times, vacation with eachother for a week at a time...after that, if things are still going well..and BOTH people are inlove then it may be safe to say..."IT'S LOVE" :o)

its definately scary out there sometimes and people have to be careful but ive met a lot of 'toads' in person too who lied and cheated and had gfs all over the place and led them all on. so its not just online and its been going on for ages and ages, it might just be easier now. \n\nthere are steps everyone should take in trying to make sure the person they are talking to is for real. seeing them on cam for one, so you know who you are talking to is really like the photos you have seen, being able to talk to them or call them whenever you want (might show they arent really married or living with someone), etc etc. \n\ni think the internet can be a good tool for getting to know more people. ive lived in my town for 17 years and i personally dont believe that i would just magically walk into 'the right guy' after all these years. instead i walked into one that lives 4000 miles away haha. if it wasnt for the internet we would not have been able to continue our relationship so closely. i think its a great tool for meeting friends, etc, but you definately have to be sensible and careful - just like meeting anyone in person!
