Dear Sarah:

You had a less than two-weeks long virtual, long-distance (Singapore-Denmark) relationship with a 19-year-old man, never met him in-person, and no plan was made to meet in-person. You had virtual sex aka sexting. You fell in (virtual) love, and yet, your feelings are very real, your pain is real, and I am sorry that you are hurting!

“he’s also extroverted and has many friends and girls on his snapchat“- this is what I am guessing happened: because of the available technology, it is too easy for a person to have multiple virtual relationships going on at the same time: too much is virtually going on, new contacts come in, older contact go out.

I can’t imagine that a long-term, monogamous relationship can be possible between two very young people who live in different parts of the world, and who never met in-person. Does it ever happen?
