Hi David,

But it IS an electronic relationship, Dear One! It does not take the place of chemistry, of meeting face to face, or of being in close proximity with someone. My college roommate had an electronic relationship (way before Skype!). She went out to visit him. And as much as they got along (like you, for over a year) it fell flat. And even if they got along famously, there was that distance thing.

Now this was two people who BOTH wanted it to work! Your quasi-GF broke up with you. Yes, she did! And you never met!

You could get a job or go to school near where she lives. Or even vacation there on your own, and force a meeting. But then you’d be a stalker. SHE has to want it too. She doesn’t.

My advice is to shut off your computer, and don’t communicate with her via email, text, social media or Skype. And if you do, it should be to tell her one thing:

“Don’t text/email/FB/Skype or talk to me unless and until you want to meet IRL.”

Best,

Inky
