I don't think distance was the issue. We live about 1000 miles apart, and have visited each other's cities years ago. It was actually when I was telling him that I had looked into flights to go and visit him, that he started doing his Houdini act, so it seems to me that he's with someone, and couldn't have me around. I "met" him on another dating site, and when I checked on there one time after I hadn't heard from him for 3 weeks, noticed that he had been online within the last hour, so doesn't that seem like he's on the prowl for someone else? I promptly went off it. I wondered why he was on a Canadian dating site when he lives in the US. Maybe all he was looking for was someone to flirt with online without any intent to meet, but boy, he sure seemed sincere.

I appreciate everyone's insight and speculation. I'm feeling a little rejected by the whole experience, and could use some support. No more long distance dating for me!


you shouldn't feel bad over it, it's not your fault... just chalk it up to his loss and move on to the next... flowerforyou

There is an old saying "moderation in all things". Some skype may be fun but it doesn't fill the belly. Phone chat is nice, but face to face is true companionship. An affair is not necessarily a "love affair". True love needs some of everything. Long distance must be mixed with zero distance to work.

for what ever reason they get cold feet.whether it's something they aren't telling you or just plain fear of real life? who knows

One thing for certain is that in this world the good people far outweigh the bad.

Everyone of us with take the wrong path occasionally, but there's always a way back to the right path, if you want it.

Never trust anyone until they have proven to you that they can be trusted.
I wish you better luck next timeflowerforyou


i think that's wrong, you have to extend some trust to receive it... it's always a give and take with trust...


I think we just cant take what happens on public forums so seriously,,,,they may be the real deal and they may be a creep,, hard to tell if its only online and one hasn't observed someones interactions with others for any period of time,,,


i agree, until you meet, you just don't really know... expectations can be a bummer


I also think it's wrong to never trust until someone has proven themselves trustworthy...I trust everyone until they give me a reason not to...By giving immediate trust, I mean I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, not the key to my safety deposit box (pun IS intended:wink: )...

I totally agree with Harmony...With Moe I feel the same about expectations, but I do think if you spend enough time and you take advantage of all the communication tools offered, you can fall in love with someone you have yet to meet...It's a slippery slope because it can turn out to be love based on false truths, but it's still love...Please don't yell at me!!:tongue:



so you think it's ok to fall in love with a computer screen? i mean, thats all your really doing if you were fall for someone you've never met...
not on the computer screen. .but to the man in it...bigsmile

Don't feel rejected, feel good knowing you are open to and ready for a relationship...Some guys disappear cause they are still married, some do it because they don't want to hurt your feelings...Some leave because they are scared of commitment...Some are not emotionally available, as in recently divorced or addicted to booze or drugs...There are lots of reason and not all of them have something to do with you...AND, men are not the only ones who do this, women pull the disappearing act too...ohwell

Hang in there, you're beautiful and you're ready to find love...It will happen:wink: ...

Some men are just A-holes. And there is nothing you can do about it. Period. End of story.
