Hi Nina,

I too, have been in long distance relationships. One man from India, Another from Pakistan, and the other from Iraq. The one from Iraq, I was head over heels with, but it turned out he was Catphishing me, so he could get to United States. My own fault, for getting too intense so quickly with him so soon. I invested everything in him, time, attention, romance. He invested nothing.

The guy from Pakistan..well things were great at first, I came to care about him a great deal. We spent hours video chatting. Said as soon as he got out of software engineering, he would come to States. Then he did a complete 360 and wanted me to send pictures of parts of my body and pictures of parts of his body. I immediately put an end to that. But I was deeply hurt and humiliated. Most men from other cultures think and are raised with different values, views and perspectives than people in our country. It usually, unfortunately does not work out. I don’t think it had anything to do with you, but like he said, a difference of cultures. I too have had men from long distance “ghost me” or I will see them flirt with other women online. It’s all a game to them because of distance and rarely seeing each other. I think it’s best to meet someone locally. A happy, stable, loving and emotionally available man.
