A female United States age 36-40, *cruz writes:

Okay so I've had a friend for about 7 years now, we have never met in real life, and we have been through a lot. Mainly because of me being somewhat of a liar when I was younger and I felt that I was too ugly to be with anyone so I used a fake pic.So finally this year or maybe last I told her the truth.Just recently I sent her my pic and she said how I attractive I was and she didn't understand why would I use fake pics.

so she forgave me and now we are starting off fresh. I decided I would fly down to her city on spring break and visit her. I just feel so vulnerable right now because she knows who I am and I really want it to work that I'm just laying my heart on the line and letting her know how much I really want to be with her in real life and that I would do anything to make her happy. And I would never ever hurt her. I basically express myself all the time and I really don't get anything in return. Although if I text her she will text me back for the most part and when we talk on the phone she flirts with me. When i do tell her that i don't think she really wants to talk to me or be with me she tells me that she really does and if she didn't she wouldnt be talking to me. But when i talk to her I don't feel as if its sincere like I feel as if I'm forcing myself on her and forcing it to work. Bc I'm doing all the work here I sent her letters,lovely texts and I gets nothing!

I can text her "hi sweety" and I get back in return "hey" or I would tell her that I would treat her ri?ght and I want to be there for her and she will ignore the text.I would be here all night if I put down all the examples i have.

Should I just give up on this and not go to see her even if I do really care about her and really really want to go?. It hurts me so much that I am doing so much work for little appreciation or acknowledgement to the point I cry. I really do love her.I just want to know if its the same

petina1 agony auntDoes she know of your intentions that you intend to fly down there. If not, make sure you ask her first if its okay. If she does know what you look like and she does know you are going to see her then good luck. You can't always judge what people are really like unless you are with each other in person. That would be the next stage to get to know each other face to face. I personally would not have liked to be deceived in that way because I would not be able to trust anything after that, but hey, thats just me. Good Luck!
