He just disappeared

LegacyUser

I've been chatting to someone online for about three months. We use skype and phone calls sometimes also. A couple of weeks ago this guy was saying how much he would like to meet up (he lives in another country). I thought we genuinely had a strong connection. This week he has become a bit distant. It sort of feels like he has completely suddenly lost interest - he's still active online. Has anyone experienced something similar?

OP, I don't mean this badly, but go out and meet people in real life. Guy like this are not interested in anything serious, they only want to have a mess.

You were already off to a bad start with the fact that he lives so far away. By meeting someone locally you can at least try to start something serious.

I wouldnt completely agree with the above.

True love crosses many distances.

However, I would say his lack of activity is a sure sign for you to move on.

Plenty more fish in the sea.

People can act differently online than they do in person. Its so easy to say I like you and I love you without really meaning it. Hate to say it OP but i think he was just living in the moment and has moved on to do the same thing to someone else. By all means keep in contact if he makes an equal effort, but if he gets very distant and gives you the cold shoulder then forget about him.

As a general rule, dont take an online relationship too seriously until it becomes real by meeting in person.

Sadly without actully having something physical with someone. Its just all stupid.


Talking to someone online who you think you have a connection with, but with-out any realistic way of meeting is just a fantasy sadly op.
