I noted the irony of her going back to the guy who lives far far away. You cannot even call that a relationship.

I'm curious how invested she is with THIS guy that she met online only once. She probably is more familiar with me, than she is with him.
Oh OK, that makes more sense (have known her for awhile).

Yeah, I don't see why a guy she had declined to date previously is suddenly appealing. How far away is he, miles wise?

Around 2,000 miles.

That makes zero sense. It's not going anywhere with this guy.


Maybe she is sabotaging? Actual success in finding a suitable man to date is scary, so she messes it up on purpose?

Is that really a thing?

Hhhh, sometimes this dating stuff is too complicated for me.

I dont think it is common, but it is also not unheard of. I have a friend who spent about a decade doing just this sort of thing, sabotaging everything that seemed like it might possibly go somewhere. People can be complicated.

It didn't work out with this woman and that sucks. So be unhappy about it for a bit, but then get back out there. There are women with whom it would work out, for both of you.

Usually I don't get that ticked off about it. But The thing that's all ironic about it is did away with online dating, and here's her. I woman I've known in real life from social circles, met her the organic way...and here she's is, pining for unobtainable guy in another country. I mean, she'll take an online option over a local, real life option?

Priorities man.

She met him on an online dating site, flew up to see him once, but he was suffering some kind of depression, so she ended it.

Out of the blue she cancelled out date because she wanted to work on things with him, and "He would feel uncomfortable with her and I 'hanging out'".

As if he really gives a rats ass about what's going on with her on the other side of the country?

Anyways, I told her that it's a pretty crappy thing to do, but wished her luck (on the guy that's suffering from depression).

I mean, I can see it being local, but in a friggin' another country?
TT maybe I'll send you a friend request one day. Maybe space aliens will land on the White House lawn.

Oh and "rats" needs an apostrophe to indicate the possessive...

But that woman is so lame I wouldn't disgrace myself to ever contact her again. Her excuse or reason is totally lame.

Please let me know if this is a lame topic.

It sounds like an excuse to me. I think that spark just wasn't there.

So this is the one that told you to put money in the jar? I'm not surprised at all. If I were you, I'd gladly let that other guy be with her. Good riddance.
