Should I end this long distance internet romance?

Question - (10 November 2007) 3 Answers - (Newest, 10 November 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 51-59, *hat on earth? writes:

I am 40yrs old and 2 months ago (after 7 years on my own)I started a relationship (via the internet) with a 25 yr old man in the North of England. We have spoken on the phone every day for a couple of hours at a time and had wonderful phone sex. He constantly tells me he loves me, misses me, needs me etc, and gets jealous when i go out with friends. This has renewed my self confidence no end

My problem is that he has on 3 separate occasions said he is coming to meet me in person, and 3 times has cancelled at the last minute. His excuses were pretty good, but I have now come to the conclusion that he is never going to visit.

I have therefore started looking elsewhere and have arranged a couple of real dates for next week with other men.

I know i should finish things with him, to be fair, so that i can move on without feeling guilty. i also think that i dont actually owe him anything at all.

the difficulty is that i just cannot bring myself to make that final phone call or send that text...

Help?

Easy, What on earth,...you just end it. This "great talking" young man is just that. He likes to talk about it. He has no intention of having a real relationship with you...and probably with no one else. The internet has given great freedom to people of this type and they can deceive many. Don't be deceived. And, I might add, hon, you are old enough to know better.... Tom
