    Hello there.
    I’m a guy and i’m 21.
    I am/was dating this girl online (18) since october.
    We met online… She from Canada me from the US
    AT first we were just friends but then she developed feelings for me and I for her…
    We entered a relationship where we would play games, chat, cam, or voice together.
    We’ve spent so much time together.. I love her. We decided that we should meet not too long ago. about 3 months ago.
    We scheduled our trip for July and were simply counting down the days.

    I am currently a senior in college and will be finished soon and then out looking for a job.
    She is a freshman in college and won’t be done for another 3 years..

    2 days ago she suddenly told me that she couldn’t continue our relationship because we would be so far apart for such a long time and she couldn’t bear the lack of a physical relationship. She still has feelings for me I believe.
    She also agreed to continue with our plans to meet this summer but only as friends.

    I just love her too much and she has become my best friend… and I have become her best friend(she has said this several times even after the ‘break up’)

    I think it was combination of things…
    Her being unsure of our future… the distance… and nervousness of meeting me for the first time when were only in a relationship.

    Right now i’m trying to figure out what to say to her. Or if i should let her be for a bit.
    I want her back and that is my goal.

    Should i keep talking to her? Or should i keep it minimal until she gets here in person?
    any advice please. if you have any questions just ask and ill say more.

    My advice is to stop talking to her because you want a romantic relationship and she doesn’t. You’ve never met. You live in different countries. She’s going to be in college for three more years and you’re going to be out in the world looking to start a new part of your life. All of this incompatibility adds up to a mismatched couple. She’s realized it. You haven’t. You’re going to get hurt over and over again until you realize this isn’t a good relationship for you.

    My advice is when you meet someone on an online site, remember that that site is a tool, not a venue on which to conduct a relationship. If you can’t or don’t meet up in real life within about three weeks of meeting online, your relationship is gong to be fraught with challenges at best and an incompatibility disaster at worst. If you were older and more established and had access to plane tickets and hotels, I’d see where this might work because you could fly to meet her weekly, stay at a hotel until you get to know her better so you could stay at her house, etc. But you’re just out of college, and you need to start your own career and if you find someone to date, make sure they’re in the same country you are, the same state, and hopefully, the same fifty mile radius.

    I hope that helps — I”m sorry this is painful, but you’re going to get over it (sooner when you stop talking to her because you’re not well matched), and you will move on.

    Let me know how things go, and please follow me @AskAprilcom on Twitter and on Facebook at this link: [url][/url]. 😀
