Personally, I have never dated anyone online, but I have been friends with people who did. One of these friends in particular was dating someone I knew was a dickhead and a dirtbag who was taking advantage of her loneliness and abusive home, and was absolutely not good for her. She needed to set goals for herself in her physical world, but she kept running from responsibilities and he kept her from living good life for a long time. He abused her feelings to make her feel like she owed him a lot. It was very stressful for myself, because she was someone I talked to a lot and I didn't want her to waste her life. After awhile I decided that I wasn't helping her by being someone for her to complain to, and that if she had issues, she needed to go to the source. She was being so consumed and controlled by this guy anyway, that she didn't act like a friend should. I'm not one to give up on people frivolously, so it hurt a lot when I didn't know if I was just throwing her to the mercy of evil or not. The way it turned out, she eventually found out, some 6 months later, that this guy was dating several different girls over the internet at once. Thankfully that was the end for her. They called each other on the cell every day. I actually talked to another person who was dating him, and still had feelings for him even though she knew she was part of a group of people he was using. That girl was a stranger though, so I didnt trust her or have much sympathy to give her. She seemed to hint at wanting to date me, but an internet girlfriend is something I can never do. Not a hard decision anyway, when the premesis of a relationship is to save someone from an asshole... just be single for awhile =/ Anyway, I don't think that was a very interesting story. But the girl I talked to finally started getting herself together... she'd dropped out of high school and had basically wasted too much time dicking around on the internet to get a GED, but at least now she has a job and is meeting people in person. I think it's good for her, even if it's obvious she's paying the consequences of her naive youth. I'm hardly in touch with her, partly because of her being too poor for internet, and partly because of betrayals in our past. Bygones, and forgiven... but not a part of each other's lives anymore. For myself though, I still need someone to express my life to, so I have what basically amounts to a pen pal. Regular emails about whatever's going on, which helps to keep me sane since the friends I have are generally too popular for their own good, meaning I have company only once in awhile. I want to say again, I'm proud of you for getting away from this girl. Loyalty is something I really value, but it has to go both ways. Don't waste your time with people who aren't prepared to be by your side in a sad time. | ||
