    Hi April…..

    Im lost….I have a relationship online with a women going on nearly 7 years now. I’ve been out for several visits in that time as she has young children and couldn’t come to me. I lived in Toronto and she is in Winnipeg. We took a one week vacation from our jobs and I came out and we spent the entire week together and made love for the first time. I know she doesn’t like surprises so I told her my plans which were to move to Winnipeg, which I have in July.

    Ive landed a fabulous job before I even arrived, but she wont even see me now. She just says shes scared because nobody has ever loved her this openly before, ever. She had a bad marriage and relationships after (drugs, alcohol, violence, infidelity), I get that….but we were perfect in May….I can’t understand why she’s scared to even have a coffee with me now that I’m here to stay.

    Maybe because she knew I would be going back to Toronto each time, it was safe to her? I don’t know.

    Online, long-distance relationships are different than in person relationships. People meet online for all sorts of reasons ranging from convenience and greater opportunities, to fear of in person relationships. There are lots of people, like yourself included, who will spend years online and not meet. It sounds like in 7 years of online dating, you only had a handful of visits and one week long vacation. That’s less than one visit a year. 😕 It’s very hard to really get to know someone in that time, and it sounds like now that you’ve moved to be close to her, you’re getting to know another side of her that you didn’t before. The bottom line is that she’s no longer interested in you now that you’re not long distance or online. Rather than try to figure out why, or fix her, my advice is to accept it and move on. And next time, consider a rule of thumb I like to give that if you meet someone online, and haven’t dated in the first three or four weeks of meeting — and if you’re long distance, within the first three months — move on. I know this is disappointing, but after 7 years, you need to cut your losses.
