You say there wasn't a definitive answer or solution for when you could meet your ex-partner, but did you both actually try? It's not unrealistic to think a relationship online can't turn into one that exists in the offline world, but it takes time and a lot of effort and hard-work, and a really specific goal to work towards. Either way, we do what's best for ourselves, so I guess if you felt it wasn't going to work then that's what you felt. Hopefully you don't have regrets and you can happily move forward.

@maybesomeday His family didn't allow him to travel to where I was and I could only get a visa abroad if I'm financially stable which is uncertain because it would take years after I have started working. I only graduated in December 2017 (recently) and only looking for a job now. We knew each other for more than 4 years and we were both studying at that time basically and thinking of the uncertainty really sucks. I like talking to the people I love but I didn't like having to sit in front of the screen for hours every day. I thought it through and I don't have regrets. I don't regret letting him go because he deserved to be with someone who will make that relationship possible.
online is more fantasy than reality. i wouldnt do online relationships either. im not really looking for online friendships either because of the communication barrier and a lot of people will go distant after awhile and people are never who you assume they are or who they say they are. we get more caught up in an illusion of who we think this person is than who they really are. most people online play games. fool around with many people and sweet talk many people. they arent the type of person you would seek for real relationships plus many of them are in relationships and looking for something else on the side.

@badapple Yes I agree and that's a good caution for lots of people. This guy was sweet as a pie though and almost all of the EP members will agree (since many of them know him) and I've also seen and talked to his family and we've exchanged gifts etc. during those years. It wasn't bad but it was not going to work because his parents didn't want him leaving the country. I just don't want to dig up all the details that should be left buried now assuming it's past the time for being sad and moving on.

If i define love❤ ,well it is most beautiful thing ! Love creates a connection between to souls without any wire, love is above over needs, body attractions, sex , and profit or loss ,just time pass etc
True love creates better personality of both individuals who truely love❤ each other from heart and soul...day by day they become better and better , more responsible, more carrying, mutual understanding, hard working,creates more sense,make person more loyal,honest, emotionally and 🏋mentally strong 💪..
True love❤ is between two individuals when they both 💑🎡love each other..
I feel distance doesn't matters.. But if separation also happens then also love never dies because ones you given a place to someone in your heart you can't replace again!
But loving again someone in not impossible too!

I met my partner online, long distance relationship (me UK, her Vietnam) but we made it work. Not saying it was easy but was worth it.

The only way it might work is if the person is able to travel easily to see you like one / two hour distance away from you . If he's in another country forget it .

I was active on EP too and lost a few good relationships. But your decision to not wanting to start LDR again is not appropriate. Currently LDR has become the way of life for many around the world, as everyone's life is stuck wherever they are. But the world has matured to keep the Online relationship separate from the IRL relationship.
And you don't start a relationship, you just have to be open for it to happen. Have you tried Craigslist ?
