you meet someone online who is long distace, and they cannot move and you cannot move, but you spend hours upon hours on the phone, send e-mails ect ect.... but in the end there is no future in the relationship, what do you do?

Do you stay friends knowing there is more to the story, and possible hold yourself back from finding someone else?

Do you cut ties guickly, and hurt, but know that "this too shall pass"?

Do you continue to talk knowing that gloom and doom are eminent?

or you could just break it off. that's what i did with a girl i had been going out with for about six months- she decided to go back to upstate New York, and I couldn't go, so we ended it.

yeah, it sucks... but whatcha gonna do?

I don't think anything is impossible. And I can't imagine why one or both of you wouldn't be able to move. How is it that someone "can't" move?

I would say stay friends and know that if the situation changes, maybe it will work sometime...but I wouldn't hold myself back from finding someone in a more convenient situation.

I think friends is the best but then there is still that chance that feelings will get hurt if someone more was really wanted..

I cannot move because of my divorce decree and the custody of my daughter and he cannot move due to his career.

depends. at some point, if you can you should meet in person. then you'll know if there is any real chemistry or not. until you meet and/or decide, keep seeing other people. why pass up some cool local guys for someone so far away?

Then he "won't" move, not can't. He can make decisions; every state has jobs.

The legal custody order is more of a problem; but even legal orders can be changed.

I would never take my daughter away from her father, he is very involved in her life.

His job is only found in a few states, and mine is not one of them.

eek. Then you are truly in a tough spot. If he is that wonderful, keep him in your life in some capacity; and when your daughter goes away to college you can see if you are both still available..if it is meant to be, it will happen. But I would move on for now.
