So this is a weird one but bear with me….I have been separated for about 16 months and a few weeks ago decided to try the strange world of online dating…..met an amazing gorgeous guy who instantly clicked with, the only issue is he lives 500 miles away 🤣 things got very intense very quickly and it stirred up feelings I hadn’t had for many years…then bang his messages became less frequent but still messaged everyday. I asked him a couple of times if he still wants be be in a LDR and always said yes….the last few days he got quieter and a quieter until I couldn’t take the hot and cold anymore and told him to take care and hope he finds what makes him happy…. 3 days later I’m sat here missing him like mad and want to text to ask if we can talk….I don’t know what to do 🤔

Op I had the same
I totally fell for him
I’ve now reluctantly realised I’m more into it than him , so I’ve decided to go back on bloody tinder and maybe find someone more local

It’s been a massive drama and emotion and sexual attraction
But mainly my head !
I’m glad it happened and that I liked
Him
But he is overseas
We need to shag locally

I felt just like you x

no it’s him, he is literally my perfect guy which sucks

Yes , my overseas crush managed by texts and chatting to tick every single box 📦

But he doesn’t contact me enough or even like me enough
Enjoy the feelings

Thanks all for the input. I did end up messaging him last night a very straight forward message, and his ridiculous short answers have helped me realise that I can’t be arsed with the games anymore…I have now downloaded Tinder 😂

Out of the frying pan into the fire
Somewhat

But the same thing

I did OLD before I got married (to someone I met online). It’s often the people who sound great on paper and ‘just your type’ who you actually don’t click with at all when you meet face to face. I would only exchange a handful of emails before meeting and I think that is a safe way of making sure you aren’t getting too involved in a fantasy relationship. People are so different in real life and some will be trying to deceive you anyway. Good luck.
