Question - (4 November 2007) 1 Answers - (Newest, 4 November 2007)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Basically, there's this guy that our parents are friends and they traded e-mail addresses for us. We started talking and immediately hit it off, IM'ing each other for hours a day and calling each other at least once, if not more, a day. We live on opposite coasts of the US but he's coming back to my area in late December so we had decided to meet then and see if we hit it off in person. ((Yes, we've seen pics of each other.))

Anyways, things were going great until I got him into this online game that I play because I thought it would be fun to play together. Instead, he became so addicted to the game that he stopped calling and e-mailing me and the IMs were either non-existent or had to be about the game. Flirting comments became less frequent and we could go days without him ever talking to me. This has been going on for nearly a month while he still professes that he does like me (when we actually talked).

Anyways, last week he had a bad day and took it on me, yelling and swearing at me over IMs and such so I blocked him and sent him an e-mail telling him to stop being rude and that he was blocked cause I was fed up with this. I never got a reply back to the e-mail and have unblocked him on AIM but have yet to get an IM, never mind apology.

Should I just give up on the whole thing or IM him first and find out what's going on? The only reason I still have hope is because of how wonderful he was for the first two months but he's been a jerk for the last one...so I'm not sure if the hope is even valid.

Forget about it, trust me - No matter how amazing online relationships are at first. They all go to hell in the end, without fail. I know from experience. and from seeing it happen to others.

He's obviously acting immature by not responding to you and if he's more caught up in his self-absorbed delusional virtual world then concentrating on you, then don't worry. If you were serious about him you'd want him to be committed from the VERY start, constantly.

Forget about him.
