That maybe a brick wall needs to fall on your head? You two have no history. Didn't go thru ups and downs. You chatted online and believed in someone you have never met. (there's the kicker)

Try any sucker - sorry - that's willing to believe the "story." The person is probably a woman to any guy willing to send their money, or a man to any woman willing to send money.
Then, sit there and waste your time and your life analyzing what went wrong with your online relationship, with someone that ended it because the money deal didn't go thru. Good luck sweetie. Maybe you should talk to people IRL about this. really. real flesh and blood folks.

YOU DID NOT HAVE A MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIP
WITH THIS ONLINE PERSONA. IT WAS NOT REAL. Now, go meet a girl you can actually SEE and TOUCH and all that fun stuff. Please. get over it already

She's probably lying about the back problems and being financially in troulb.e

She's using you.. Leave it at that.

There is a 50% chance that "she" is a man, and/or has lied about everything in order to get money from you.

STOP! BACK AWAY! Stop attempting to communicate with that stranger this minute! Count your blessings that you were NOT able to send money to him/her. Stop leading with your heart, and use your head. The internet is NOT like living next door to someone whom you can see, and learn about in the real world. If you want to fall in love, find real-live girls in your town. I wish you joy!
Let me add that he/she is probably running this scam ten times over. For all you know, she is a he, 58 year's old and might even live down the street from you.

Yes your feelings are hurt but GET OVER IT!! To help curb your obsession with the scammer, find a celebrity to focus on. Just hunt the internet for all the information you can find, pour yourself into your job, just get this very toxic person out of your space.
I don't think stalking someone else is the answer...

It's only stalking if you are invading a person's space.

Well last week we spoke for the first time online through instant messages things felt awkward for some reason and after like 10 minutes she said something like ''well it was nice talking to you'' and i replied ''what are you going?'' and she replied ''yes'' and i havent heard from her again. i have a gut feeling that i may not hear from her again. i have seen her online almost every day this week, and have tried to say hello to her everytime i see her but she has not replied back to me. im concerned about her and i miss hearing from her, she has back problems and i want to know how she is doing and i also want to know if i did something wrong. what should i do? what should i think?
Andrew, while it was very kind of you to offer to help her out financially, bad move.

I used to write poetry online. The first website I got into, I met some people...one women and I used to call each other...what really took me back was she was a lot older then what she told me, she told me she was dying, and all kinds of stuff. Apparently she went to live with her husband for awhile and was emailing me from there...he found my telephone number which I had given to her....and called me...well, I'm not going to get into it, but she lied to me horrendously, and a fellow woman yet??? Still cannot figure out why she lied?????? She originally was from CA...she met a guy on line, and was having a long distance relationship with him...calling each other all the time, and he did a lot for her...turned out, she didn't want to meet him in person...reason being, she had lied to him and was like 30 years older then him?

So, beeeeee careful...

ok well she sent me an email message a couple of hours ago, this is what she wrote....

''I am just going to be honest with you. I enjoy writting you as well. You are sweet and kind which is very hard to find these days. The whole situation weirded me out. The whole thing went out of control and should never have gone in that direction. it made me realize that maybe I had gotten too close to you in a short amount of time. I am very busy and when you IM me its because my Sidekick is always logged on AIM so it doesnt mean I am online.
Have a wonder day!!''

what should i think? should i respond to her message or should i just leave things?
