I met this girl back in late December and we started going out in early January. Unfortunately, she lives in Honduras in Central America and I live in California so this would be a long distance relationship. We would talk daily and kit until she came back in late March to visit and get to know one another a bit, now she needs to go back due to lack of work, missing her family and her visa issues, immigration trips out if someone stays too long.

Recently Idk whats happened between us, she seems distant, she doesn't say I love you like before or express things like she used to and has asked me not to express mine as much. I've told her I love her and told her that I'd wait for her to come back and be totally faithful but she's being negative and doesn't seem to like me much. She doesn't want to hangout as much no more, she says we've moved too fast and she wants to know if she really likes me. Half of me says to wait this out and have faith in us and the other half says to just let it go and move on... I've asked her time and time if I've done something or said something wrong and she says no, is she lying? My heart says to wait for her my mind says move on, what do I do?

Love+Internet=Fail, more often than not anyway.

Wait it out, sounds like you both took things too fast. Love is earned in a matter of years and sometimes decades, half the time love isn't even there just mutual lust for one another. Give her space, everyone needs space...you even need it, you just don't know it yet.

Here's my suggestion to you. You know how it is said that women never listen/hear what men are really saying? That we hear what we want to hear? The same goes for men. She is clearly letting you know that, "its over." For some reason or other, she feels/thinks that you did not come thru for her as she expected. Who knows what she really wanted and was after? At that point, she lost all interests and decided to move on herself to find the person who is going to give her/get her what she wants.

Definitely, move on yourself. Give yourself time to heal, but at least start to reconnect with your friends. Partake in co-worker activities, accept every invitation and meet new people, make new friends. Do not get intimately involved with another woman until you have her out of your system. The reason for this is simple: "You do not want to do to another person what she did to you."

Good luck. What you're going thru has been done to me more than once and I wasted way too much time believing/thinking it was due to something else; but they never came back to me.....they just kept right on moving forward and never looked back.

i know how you feel, im not seperated by countries from my girl, but i moved up here and tried the whole long distance thing and it didnt work at all, shes a completely different person now as am i and its only been a year, i suggest u cut ur losses and move on, as crappy as it sounds, its the right thing to do, especially since u said she seems distant and what-not now :/
