Search Results: meeting a guy online

There’s a guy I met online 6 years ago that lives in England. We dated long distance for a few months before he wanted to end things due to mental health. Throughout the next few years, we don’t talk much besides here and there like when he wishes me a happy birthday. We reconnected more last year and things were going great. We texted and called more often to sharing a British show to watch together. We disconnected again since he got busy with school a little but reconnected earlier this year (mid-June). We texted still, and he disclosed that he wanted a future with me by promising each other that we would see one another within the next couple of years. I was fine with it since I had nothing to lose, and he seemed to be ready for a beginning with me finally.

however, over time, his texts seemed to get a little more rude and disinterested. I didn’t talk about it since last I asked about him being sure about us, he got turned off. Last night, he disclosed that he wanted to put the relationship on “pause” since he’s starting a job that’ll require more effort but also didn’t even see the point of being with me due to not liking me anymore romantically. Also, not having the “funds” anymore for us meeting up. I was confused since the promise was made somewhat recently, and makes me believe he wanted to just not be alone rather than enjoy being alone. I’m not sure..

either way, I told him if he ends the relationship now that he won’t have a chance with me in the future since I’m not some revolving door that’s at his disposal for his convenience to which he understood. I’m not sure what to do about this ordeal or how to feel about it besides hating that he’s basically wasted at least a couple of years of my time knowing he was unsure anyway. What do you think?

I know one like that. She's a martial artist but would guys see her as the feminine type many are looking for:

- She's a non-religious virgin. Her busy schedule keeps her from meeting a serious family-oriented man but she would like to. She hates online dating sites, claims too many guys are there just for sex.

- She still wants to form a family.

- She works too but when there's time, she'll create new meals and desserts.

- Outside the class, she's reserved and loves animals.

Can a female martial artist still be the feminine woman many men are looking for?
