Being too involved with someone not in the same state.
Question Posted Wednesday November 13 2013, 1:04 am
I've been talking to a guy I like a lot from another state. He's in Florida and I'm in Connecticut. We've been talking for 2 months now and a couple days ago he stops replying/won't answer any of the new texts I send. He only has an instagram, I have him added on there. He's liked and uploaded pictures since the 2 days have passed. Our ages are 19 and 26. I know that seems a little old for me but we have a lot in common and he's amazing! He does like me too and i know he isn't catfishing me. Don't worry. And we aren't together. Am I being too clingy or what?
I feel like I'm being a little clingy. I just thought he was different and perfect for me. We totally click when we're talking and it's amazing. He never said anything bad about me like i am too clingy/anything like that. And That night we weren't fighting at all. Any advice?
I am a female and the 19 year old to be clear.
Have you guys met in person? If not, then he probably just sees you as some girl he talks to that he met over the internet and not something that is serious.

This man is about 17 hours away from you in an entirely different state. I know he seems to be amazing to you, but do you even know if he has someone down south? I agree with the user below me, Sounds like he was just looking for a little enthusiasm on the internet. You cannot be into someone you never met and while you know very well there is little to no chance on it working out due to long distance.
I don't think you are being too clingy but I definitely think you are over thinking on something that it is not. If you want to find a real relationship then I would suggest looking somewhere else and not over the internet. It's fantasy vs reality. The internet isn't real my friend [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]

Sincerely,
Nobody :) [ dearnobody's advice column | Ask dearnobody A Question ]

He's not replying because he doesn't want to reply. He's no longer interested. That is what 'stops returning calls' means.
Yes, it would be nice if everyone would be kind and respectful, straightforward and honest when they loose interest, but most people aren't. Especially online, where they can easily get away with ghosting and never having to face the person they disappeared on in real life.
You probably didn't do anything wrong, and even if you did, it's not like he's ever going to try and help you out by letting you know what it was. So, as hard as it is, all you can do is shrug this off as him being a jackass. It doesn't reflect on you personally. Frankly, it has far more to do with the long-distance, and online nature of your friendship. In most cases where ghosting happens, it's because the ghost found someone else, closer to home and more convenient. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
