Whether it was the right choice is totally up to you. As for my personal opinion, people confuse infatuation with love all too often. While long-distance affairs have turned into true love it really doesn't meet the test of time until the parties meet and see if there's a real relationship there or not. If it's not sustainable, then it probably isn't love.

As a group, we use love all too easily here. While one may be infatuated, in lust, or just plain in need of other peoples attention to feel positive about themselves, I have seen little or no evidence of anyone having a truly meaningful relationship arising from their activities here. I will note that there were two women I used to correspond with who met here, moved in together, and as far as I know are still together although they haven't been onsite for quite a while.

Either way, how you respond to someone else's overtures is completely up to the individual. Do what you think is right for you and don't worry about what others think. Cheers.

Might I suggest that you be a little more tactful and considerate; respect others feeling, even though you don't share them and they may be of questionable appropriateness? They are "real" to that person and I think simple care for fellow humans would suggest doing so. Exit "relationships" as gracefully as possible. We can only hope the others respect us and our choices in return.


We all live and learn... if we are lucky!

Different kinds of love, not all meaning the same. But yes, it sounds a bit serious and too emotional to me.
