    Hello everyone,

    I’m going through a very difficult phase. I was friends with a guy Brian on Faceboook for almost 2 years. He’s with my best friend Steph. We barely messaged a hi hello. 3 months back we grew close. He was after me trying to win me over. A gentleman in a way. I liked him as a good friend. We msg everyday day night after work. It grew into good friendship. His side was intense I started to feel the way he cared too much always talking about marriage, I was of his type simple and sweet,mature but with some childishness. Indirectly, he was indicating his feelings. Forehead kisses etc, it means a lot more and the “my lioness and saying sorry she isn’t mine” thing I’m leo by horoscope. He wanted to see me in person but I was relunctant for I dint know him, I was scared. We decided to Skype. He urged to meet up. The day came.

    I met him 2 days before VALENTINES DAY after work. He was really too happy. We went for coffee. I was too shy I couldnot meet his eyes. He could not take his eyes off me. He was totally into it. He said many things to me. That now we are close. He really likes me. He showed me his parents pics. Then topic of my ex cropped up. To be mentioned I was in a relationship 7 months back since 4 years. I went through deception and we broke up. He knew it well. But I’m not a virgin anymore. While talking I said I did many things for my ex. He was like you mean you slept with him? I said yess. He went pale. I’d to shake him up if he was ok? He said yes.

    He said that he’s concerned with my present and future not past. But we were friends right? A friend does not talk like this. First meeting we barely know each other. Then we had coffee. still he glanced at me with those lover looks. Then after that he said he bought something for me. I was like what? He removed a box of chocolates he told me previously its his favourite. I was feeling odd. First meeting gift? Then we moved to the duty free shop he said hes going to buy another for his mum for Valentines day she loves it. After that we took the bus. it was so hot that day I was sweating. I got a phone call busy talking, he removed his handkerchief and wiped my forehead. Omg! Asking if I’m ok and safe I said yes, with weird feeling. After sometime he lightly covered my hand with his. I felt it so intense I myself could not understand the situation. His hands were kind of trembling. He kept on talking I grinned laughed at times still feeling weird and shy. Each time I removed my hand he held it till the last moment I got down he dint want me to go.

    Once I got back home I told him what he did holding hands and things. He said that I was smiling etc. YES but I felt weird first time I went through all this. He apologized. On my side I could not figure out my feelings it was so fast. But one thing I was sure he loved me. This screwed up my mind. If I did the right thing to just go and tell him bla bla you did this and that without thinking if I’m hurting him. All night I stayed awake. I wanted to apologise I urged him to meet me. We met but I couldn’t said it to him. This worried me I was scared of losing him. He said we are good friends hes sorry for whatever happened and forget it. I could not take it. For 5 days this was killing me.I asked him if he loves me, instead of replying me he asked if I loved him, I dint answer. he said to forget it all we are good friends he doesnot have feelings. Again and again I asked him. He denied.

    We were messaging like almost strangers. On his side no more jokes, laugh no more smileys or emoticons. It was over. Last time I messaged him its been 12 days. no reply. Neither a hi nor how are you? Nothing even hes online right now. Am invisible as if. The fact is that nw really he made me fall for him. I’m in love and now hes not here. Now when I realized my feelings he left me. WHY? Did I hurt him? Or I’m no more a virgin he could not bear that?

    Please help me friends. Thank you a lot.

    Dear Amalia:

    My understanding of your post is that Brian was in love with a fantasy girl called Amalia. Not the real person, you. He was in love with an Amalia he created in his own brain, an Amalia slightly connected to the real Amalia.

    He acted with you in accordance with his fantasy, the chocolate, wiping your forehead, holding your hand with a trembling hand. Only he was doing these things to Fantasy-Amalia. I think you felt weird because you felt that it was not YOU that he was in love with.

    In his fantasy Amalia was a virgin. In his fantasy Amalia was in love with him too. In his fantasy you were going to get married and he introduced you immediately to his parents via a photo. In his fantasy you didn’t feel weird about your actual meeting because he already met you in person- in his imagination- many times before and he already gave you the chocolate and wiped your forehead and held your hand… and you were fine with it all, in his fantasy. In his fantasy, you responded well to these gestures.

    When you introduced him to reality, to the real Amalia who is not a virgin and who was not there in real life before and did not spend any real time with him before, in person- then you broke his fantasy. Like something made of glass it fell to the floor and shattered.

    You wrote that now you are in love with him. I think you are in love with the idea that someone loves you as much as he loved you…. only it wasn’t you that he loved. It was a fantasy. Only a fantasy in his mind.

    What do you think?

    Hi Amalia,

    Personally, i think Brian thought you were both on the same page. After texting so much, he clearly thought he knew who you were. Much like Anita said above, he had developed a picture of who you are separate from who you truly are. As for the virgin part, i’m not quite sure of what to make about that. I just assume if a person has been in a relationship for sometime that they would of been intimate. So, maybe he felt that you were ‘pure’ in his mind. For some reason being ‘pure’ is something that some guys like. I don’t get it, and i’m a guy.

    I don’t think you have to apologize for speaking your mind, if anything that should be congratulated. Saying it was too fast, is your opinion and if anything maybe he could of turned it down a notch. But he might be hurt because he thought you would be as invested as he was. He made a mistake, that’s all. He popped the ‘love’ question way early, neither of you would truly have any understanding of each other. I was under the belief that you get to know someone through shared experiences, not simply talking to each other.

    Are you really in love with him? The way i have read your post, it sounds like you only started loving him after some consideration after only meeting each other once. You may of talked yourself into feeling things for him, you don’t actually feel.

    If he is not replying, well, he clearly must be feeling hurt. But don’t keep apologizing, you didn’t do anything wrong. Actually neither of you did, i think ultimately, both of you made assumptions before you meet, created boundaries and limits to what you would talk about, feel and understand about each other. They were not mutual, you both had different limits. I would give it some time before you try to talk to him again. Let him work through this, and this will give you some time for clarity on your side.

    Sincerely,
    Matty

    Hi dear,

    First of all, thank you so much for taking out your precious to help me out. It means loads. Yes ive started to fall for him. Since the day we met I was not able to eat, drink nor sleep at night. Next day I met him, I was not hungry I kept looking at him we talked. I don’t know how to explain it. Its something ive not experienced before. Even the mild touch which shook me from inside. He did all dear. It was so intense I felt weird because it was too good to be real. Even when I reached home and said all these things to him, he was like saying that I was smiling and laughing. Yess I was. It cant be I was a fantasy if so then he would not say he was not able to control himself when he saw me. Neither would he hold my hand till the last moment. Nor would he told me to put my head on his shoulder if I’m tired. He was all into it. A lover A Romeo. But he is not telling me the truth. I’m missing him. He really made me love him despite I didn’t want to enter in any relationship. I had a nightmare in past relationship. This is why I dint gave him importance when he was messaging me. I thought he was a flirt. He told e if a guy flirts with me that doesn’t mean he wont fall for me. Would I give that guy a chance? I said no earlier. Now I don’t know what happened to him.

    Dear Amalia:

    I think that you want to be loved, to be treated with loving attention. You like that, and who doesn’t want to be treated like a very special person, with a loving attention?

    I still think that you are in love with the idea of Loving and Being Loved and so was he. But as I understand it, he is no longer interested in a relationship with you. I still think that he “woke up” from his fantasy as you plunged into it.

    I believe it was… too good to be true: neither one of you knows the other.
