One of the great things about this site is meeting incredible people from all over the world. One of the worst things about this site is that some of the most incredible people are a world away.
When/if you do meet a special person online, and you click really well, and you find yourself falling deeper into feelings...what next?
I've been here long enough that I recognize the hurdles. Maybe its a person who is already in a relationship (but connects better with me than their partner). Maybe its a person who lives halfway around the world. Maybe its a person who, inexplicably, cuts off all contact because they get frustrated and see no future. Maybe its a person who just likes to say the right things to get what they want. Maybe its a person who does all of these.
I'm not talking about a cute little wink-wink crush in which you exchange a few flirty messages, I'm talking about the kinds of crushes in which you really develop feelings...and then wham, you literally get crushed when it ends.
So how do you survive it? Do you avoid developing feelings? Do you stop yourself from going "there"? Do you just shut your feelings down by calling the whole episode ridiculous and shrug it off?
What advice do you have to survive the crush? Have you had a serious crush here that left you sputtering?
