So if this doesn't belong here, I'm sorry, but I could really use some advice and insight.

I've been talking to a woman who unfortunately lives in a different country, I'm definitely in love with her, but every time I'm affectionate, she completely ignores it, I asked her if I make her uncomfortable with my affection and she says no, she said she doesn't love me yet but is really starting to,which is completely fine, she can take as long as she needs to figure things out but lately she has been very distant and I've only been getting like 2 messages a day, I can see the writing on the wall, I'm not stupid but what I'm trying to ask i guess is...am I stupid, crazy, pathetic or broken for being willing to put myself though this day after day just because im so lonely? we will never see each other in our lives, and yet my heart still hurts.. and I feel I'm the pathetic and stupid one...is that true?

Why would you get so interested in someone who lives so far away? Move on.

If she asks you for money, or gift cards, run like Forest Gump.

Everything sounds good, but it may just be early days. First thing you need to ask yourself is, is she real? Have you had a video call yet, where you can at least see the person you are chatting to. Stay chatting and don't push things, the more you find out about each other the better, gives her time to think and you time to think seriously about a long distance relationship' they are not an easy option. Taking one step at a time, I would say you need to meet each other soon but only when you both feel comfortable in meeting up. Once you are happy that she is who she says she is and after a few video calls, maybe think about your next holiday and going to meet her, this shows how serious you are, and until you meet in real life you cannot be absolutely certain about each other. One serious piece of advice, no matter what you feel now about her, and whatever is said in the future, NEVER EVER EVER send money or gifts to someone you have not met in real life. If it is suggested by her for any reason whatsoever, then it is most definitely a scam no matter how long you have been chatting. It will be hard and difficult for you to accept but you must move on. (Been there, done that and got the Tee-shirt, it was not here in Mingle2 but on a pay site).

not all women that in another country is bad some is good you must be know her better before you falling inlove with her

this days it's hard to find a confession of love at an early stage or at first sight more especially on dating apps

@joe move on as hard as it may sound. Someone else is out here that truly desires your love 🥰

Hi, sorry. who am I to give you advice. unfortunately I give advice beautifully and well, but ah ah I don't know how to use my own advice. You can ignore my advice and you probably already thought about this option together with that girl. I don't know. But why don't you go to her or meet her in another country. Let her tell you which country would be convenient for her to go to and not expensive, so that you don't have to buy her tickets for the first date. And don't make yourself a victim. She told you honestly about her feelings for you. That's already good. You just need to meet her and then you'll see your way.

I live long distance but it deoends on the type of woman u was dating

You need a relationship first before it can be a long distance relationship. All you are doing is communicating long distance. It sounds like you have built this person up in your head to be perfect so you are falling for her. This is similar to what the crazy fans do to movie stars.

I am sure you have heard the phrase "S#!t or get off the pot", you are there now before it gets worse you need to meet or move on.

^^^^^^^ Very well said, totally accurate.
As long as you haven't met it's a figment of your imagination.
NOthing wrong with that as long as you're aware that it's not real and based on nothing.
As soon as you start to think it is you're shooting yourself in the foot.

All too true.
So, practical advice..as YOU are the gung-ho one,
I would back off and see if that makes any
difference to her, it might lower her fear.

It might give her impetus to continue the
relationship.

But if you do not meet, your hopes are forever
tied to a dream...and dreams end, not always
in a good way.

Some dreams never end
