I'd like to say i moved on but i am only fooling myself. i still think of him everyday but i go on with my life ... go on living, i know my life should not end with our break up. He was a big lose but I will still find someone worthy of me. Just have faith and be positive.

to have someone you love, leave you. it is the most painful time in someone's life. when you give your all to that person. when you share you feelings, thoughts, and passion with that person, and they don't care anymore, it is as if you dont want to live anymore. how can there be anyone else for you? it seems impossible. it doesnt matter if your there with them or not. it doesnt matter if you met them or not. its the times you shared. everything you built with that person. just gone... i have been through it. exactly.... it takes time. its the only thing. distractions may work for the time being. but believe me, it wont last forever. friends cant stick around forever. i remember that i would would just cry and cry. the pain of crying is exhausting. the only way i got through it is to pray to Jesus and read the bible. i asked him to help me through what i went through. jesus was the only one that soothed my pain, suffering, and lonliness. i didnt have any friends and i didnt go anywhere. i guess i was what people call a loner. people will tell you its going to be alright. its easy for them to say. they arent going through it, they have someone else to lean on. people will say that its easy to make friends. go out, go do something. its just not easy. nothing in life is. im sorry your going through this pain. one thing i had to understand is that im not alone. other people are suffering just as i am. i will pray that your pain will not last long.

reader, anonymous, writes (30 September 2007): This is verified as being by the original poster of the questionthanks for your answers, although some of you are wrong. i love him. if you dont think its possible you just havent experienced it. i have. and i know how i feel and dont need anyone else to tell me how i feel. it wasnt just that he was someone i spoke to online, i was really committed to him, i told him everything and never spoke to any other boys online because i was with him.
but anyway back to the point at hand, i guess i'll try joining a club or something. it wont kill me and if i dont like it then i could just leave? thanks x

 You think you love him but you only feel for his online persona. It is a common problem unfortunately. As you were lacking in friends at the time it was easy for this love to develop and for this man to be your sole focus. I can totally understand that you wouldn't want to go out and socialise now on your own and obviously you haven't found mates at work (not that unusual). However, you can keep busy in sports clubs or volunteering for charities in your area. If you are contented with being friendless and boyfriendless then stay as you are and don't change to please other people - some people are natural loners (my hand goes up to that one) who don't need many people around them to remain happy. However, if you feel the need to change then it is up to you to make the first move and to make positive changes in your life. My advice is to hang up your online dating hat (there are some pretty messed up people in that world) and venture out for real world experiences.

 How can you call anyone your lover if you have never met him? He is just your cyber buddy. I had a very similar experience, this guy I spoke to online was very charming but he lived in the states and I live in the UK. So chances are he has met someone else, as he ignored me after a while. But I moved on and is planning on meeting guys who are more easily obtainable. Please put it down to experience and move on and find a guy, who will love you unconditionally. Did you guys ever talk about meeting up in the future? because speaking to someone for a year and never meeting them is a long time in my book. My guess is he had no intention of following through with this so called relationship in the first place and cruelly strung you along. Good luck if you do find a new guy, I mean it. Take care Hun xx.

 You have an introverted personality. Not going out much or making many friends. That's an OK personality to have, I enjoy being that way. The less friends to me is less of a chance of someone backstabbing.
Do things you enjoy doing, take walks, go to the park. Take part in volunteer work. Just do something to consume your mind, instead of running this incident through your mind over and over again.

 Of course you can love someone even though never having met. And it will always hurt when someone disappears from your life. You will get over it eventually but it helps to try and find something to occupy yourself with.
You really need to get some friends. What do you do for work? Are there any nice people there you can hang out with, to go to the movies or to the theater with? What do you like to do, do you have any hobby you can begin with and there get some friends? Would you like to join a foreign language course, dancing class, photography, or any sports? Maybe there are courses at the university or another kind of education center, where you can learn to know other people with same interests? It feels harder to make friends when growing older, even after 25 it gets harder, so to join a company like this can make it easier and feel more natural.
Hope this helps, I wish you all the best. Keep us posted how it goes.

If you hadn't met in a year, it wasnt going anywhere anyway! Chances are he's got a wife and 4 kids to support. The internet is a wonderful tool for hiding behind, especially in situations like yours. You were never 'together', you were miles apart. The 'someone else' he's moved on to will probably give him a laugh for a while, just like you probably did. And how do you know for sure it was a bloke?
I think you need to look at this from the outside, accept the fact he was playing you like a violin, learn from the experience and move on with your life.
Get yourself out and away from the computer and meet some real people!
