Met my girlfriend on an online game 2 years back , but never met her in person. She is a wonderful person and we had our ups and downs , but I still love her throughout. However we have never met in real life . Thing is I have been in high school and now in freshman university now and due to my studies was not able to meet her at all , though I promised her 2 times. This year I promised to meet her in October but I have a huge thesis on a project which requires attention and I broke down in tears over the phone telling her I wouldn't be able to come. She keeps saying I always lie and I feel guilty. But right now I am been hinting her we should just be "normal" and a while back I texted her asking how it would be if we become "friends" . Her reaction was " i would be disappointed and not say anything , maybe ignore you"

Don't get me wrong , I love her a lot . But I can't contain the depression after I failed to make a promise and its been 3 times I 2 years I failed to meet her due to college duties. I am hell bent on breaking the relationship since I get 99% of the time stressed about it ( she can't come to meet me because her mother is not allowing saying she is a girl and I got to meet her first) . I really don't know what to do... I need some advice on this

I haven't seen her for 3 months , as in her face via webcam. We have been getting into many fights , she even forgot oout 2nd year anniversary. Once ina fit of rage I called her and yelled but she still couldn't understand. Whenever I talk about our relationship she gets stressed and tells me to stop. However she says she loves me. Whenever we talk online via skype or msn , she doesn't seem excited at all. She keeps saying "hi" and that's it , I got angry and kept saying "hi" for 60 times.. and went like " there i said hi for a 2 months worth" and log off. She calls me immature , I am just really frustrated. I got back online and left her a message saying we should break up since its not working out and I called her a snob too. Its been 4 days , she hasn't texted or called to talk about it .

I am getting impatient... what should I do?

I think you both have come to realize, if you really think about it honestly, that this isn't working for either of you.

Long distance relationships can be very difficult to maintain if both people are not able to give the time and effort necessary.

I have no doubt that you care about her, or even love her, but sometimes that just isn't enough.

It may be that this was a relationship to suit your needs at the time, but it no longer does. You have grown, and so much changes from high school into college.

What should you do? Do nothing... what is there to do? You broke it off and she is abiding by that. Focus on your schooling... meeting new people... hanging out with friends. Resist the urge to contact her again.

Break-ups are never fun, but I think you both will be better off, and in time you will come to see that. In time, who knows, things may change, but for now, leave it be and let it rest. Odds are great that you will be dating someone new and wonderful within the year. Good luck!

You cannot love a person you have never met. You can think very highly of them, get to know them, enjoy their online personality, but this is not love. Love is, taking steps, and building on a relationship.

Starting online is fine. But, I find it hard to believe that after two years of broken promises, there isn't more here than you're saying, to justify not taking the next step, and that is to meet up with each other. It seems she has as many excuses as you do.

What might be happening here, is fear. It is knowing that you are physically going to be meeting a person you have been chatting to for two years, most of which has been pleasant and enjoyable, for both parties. That has changed, because the time seems to have come and gone, to take the step to meet in person.

After so many failed attempts on both your parts, it would be impossible now in my opinion, to go back to where it was comfortable without expectatons. You can still play online games together, or chat once in a while about your lives etc. but realize that it doesn't sound very promising for this 'relationship' to go any further.

After two years, not meeting, means, not taking the next step and actually developing a relationship, beyond the keyboard.

Make a decision. Decide whether this is going to go anywhere, or whether it isn't. If it isn't, let it go. Let your online friend find a real live person to love. She too, should allow you the same freedom. For either of you to be tied together by computers, with no human contact, seems a dead end to me.

Woowowo... calm. Lol she is annoyed cause you made a promise that you can't keep.. who wouldn't? She wants to see you cause she loves you, and she prob can understand that you can't see her, but making a promise then breaking it puts a girl off. She prob thinks if you can't keep these promises and are "lying" what else have you said and didn't mean. Not saying your lyin or its your fault, just trying to go in her shoes. If you love her though, try everything you can to make it work. Online stuff is difficult but it can work.. Don't be childish with her, it will hurt her even more and I am sure you don't want to do that. Send her a long text about what she means to you.. Yous both need to try that little bit harder to see each other, yes you have other commitments but search for an opportunity when you can meet her. Honestly though, remind her everyday that you love and miss her so much, whether she replies or not.. she loves you too but accept the fact it hurts her that she can't even spend personal, physical time with the one man she cares for.
