So in my previous entry , I said this guy was good enough for a blog entry...I chitchatted with him very briefly on MSN yesterday. In fact, I hadn't seen him around for quite a few days. I dated him briefly around this time of year last year; now we're not-so-close friends. Anyhow, he had recently returned from California. He had gone to see Jenna. Who's Jenna? A girl he met on the Internet 4 years ago, but had never met face-to-face. I dumped him when he told me he was in love with her while we were dating. (But then we still dated briefly afterwards when he tried to get her out of his life...but there were other issues, anyway. We had a talk, and I promptly lost interest in making anything work.) I already thought it was dumb that they claimed to be so close and with strong feelings for each other for years, but have never met. It was all email, snail mail, phone calls, IMing, etc. There were several (not a couple, not a few) occasions where Jenna said she would come up to BC to visit him, but *every* time, something would come up. This past fall, apparently she was driving up here, but midway, she suddenly got sick with the flu. Ultimately, her uncle had to go pick her up. I always expressed to him he was just in love with the idea of having some true love over the 'net. (I mean, really...if you really loved someone you wouldn't take years to meet up, etc.) And that there was something fishy about her. He agreed with me, but he said to really get closure, he *had* to meet her whether she came here, or he went to see her. :roll: Anyway, the poor guy...he went down to visit her...and didn't see her at all. She didn't answer her phone...didn't answer the door...didn't meet him at the airport. He had a feeling something like that might happen. Anyway, after he got home, he told her (email, voicemail? I don't know) that he never wanted to hear from here again. What kind of sicko plays games like that?! |

Someone who doesnt feel secure enough to be a real relationship. It is quite sad, really. (This message has been brought to you by Lynne's Armchair Psychology service)

Never fall in love with anybody on the Internet (no matter how adorable I might be. :-) ) It might turn out to be somebody who is married with three kids.

You have 3 kids? ;-) The possibility of falling in love with someone over the Internet seems a little dangerous/crazy to me. I probably wouldn't allow myself to do it. Meeting people face-to-face from the Internet is okay with me, though.
