Dear H:

The two  of you never  met. There can be a lot  of value to a relationship or  a communication between people who  never met in person, who may never  meet. After all, I find  a lot of value in my communications here  with  people  I never  met. But in a romantic context, the context of a boyfriend/girlfriend intimate relationship, I think that the two people have to meet at one point.

Maybe this strictly online relationship was  a substitute for a real-life romantic/ physical relationship, for him, maybe for you as well?
