    Hi, it sounds like you may be looking for something real hard. It's hard not too sometimes, but you really can't put all of your eggs in one basket regarding relationships, but especially ones online. Do you have any special friends that you know and have met? Sometimes we create a fantasy of something we don't see or interact with everyday because it's easier than actually going out in the real world and interacting and meeting that special someone. Slowly back away from this Mexico guy and realize there are probably more eligible and decent single guys in your neighborhood than this Mexico guy. Venture out and take a chance in the real world. Open up and talk to these men, see what they say back. It's harder than typing and hitting send, but it is more worthwhile. Thanks for listening and good luck!

    Why dont you try an online dating site and find a connection with someone a bit more locally. The trouble is people do get bored of emailing. If you could email someone locally first with the intention of meeting up then the emailing would be very exciting! Give it a try! there are many free sites offering a great service, try www.plentyoffish.com thats one of the best

    Sorry your hurt. Next time you need to be more careful and not invest so much in someone who's not really there. Before you jump to conclusions wait a few days to see if they had a personal emergency. Good Luck to you.

    That's happened to me before...

    It hurts, but you have to manage to get over it, just like a real life relationship. Go out with friends, find a hobby, meet a new man... Whatever helps you:)

    Good luck!

    Seriously...just take the loss and move on. Life is full of problems and loss like this and we just have to take it as it comes and learn to be strong. Think of it as a learning experience and start over again fresh. There are plenty of nice men out there, you just haven't met the right one yet.

    a relationship that you just email eachother is not a real relationship. how can you love someone if you never really met them.
