Welcome to Gaia! ::

So I totally feel like a dork coming to you all like this, but I'm pretty sure I've fallen in love with my penpal.

Alright, I know that sound bad, but it's not like that... he's not a *****... I'm absolutely sure of that... so don't go around telling me, "Ditch him because he's probably a 40-year old virgin"

We right to each other by hand
and over the internets and all of that other good stuff... so that's all great and well

and we don't even live that far away... I mean, only several hours, but still... its a long way...>>'' [that made no sense]

I don't know what to do... I'm stuck in a rut...>> Some decent advice would be nice...

I mean, I sound like a dork, but it's not like I can't get a date IRL, I mean, it's just, I haven't found anyone I like as much as my penpal... so it's awkward when I date them...>>;

I wanna try to get over myself, I think it's just a phase, but it's been going on for months now... so I'm not sure...>.<;; I don't want to live the rest of my life like this...<<;;

Also, I'm way to embarrassed to admit to my friends about it, because they won't let me live it down... and my parentals aren't any help either...

I feel like I'm constantly thinking about it...>>;; and sometimes I even have these psychotic dreams about it, it's driving me mad...><;;

So any sort of advice would be nice...^_^; I'm open to anything. It really sucks...>>;;

*How to get over a relationship you can't have

Thank you... that's probably the BEST advice I've gotten for it... and it makes sense.

Have you tried speaking to him on the phone yet? It's an easy way to go one step-up before jumping to meet him. Also, does he know how you feel?
