The same women who won't touch me with a 10 ft pole? No thanks. I'm probably gonna hold off on serious dating until I finish my Masters and move out of the area, both should happen later in the year.

You're finishing up an MA? Congratulations! Where are you thinking of moving to? Wherever the jobs are?
Lots of people were happy for you. You both were in love. Such feelings don't die fast...
Did you gave up too easy, too soon??
they only met once since they were together. So, how deep could it have been? I would not even use the word "love" at all, it was dating in the very early stages.
He realized right away it won't work, he may have given up too easy. But maybe he just saw the red flags right away and acted accordingly.

This. I wasn't aware they'd only met once, but sometimes the thrill of discovery of someone who share's some interests and seems to be on one's wavelength just doesn't pan out. That's the nature of the search process. No harm, no foul.

I don't get the whole hype here about the breaking up. A text would have been enough. Other people ghost, so a text is actually curteous.
This whole Dissenter in a relationship thing is so blown out of proportion, I don't even know why everyone gets so crazy over the breakup.
THEY MET ONE TIME since they are "together". ONE TIME!!!! It was BARELY DATING. If that was a relationship, I had hundreds. They probably didnt even bone yet or sleep in the same building.

Um....how do we know these details? Did I miss something? I thought she was planning to go out to DC to see him there.... Was she flakey?
It's really easy to magnify the infatuation stage and jump the gun in LDRs. When you're having to make regular outings to spend time together, everything feels giddy and vacation-like, initially. It's always An Event when you get together, and the whole nature of the relationship allows you to delay normal, day-to-day interaction, so you sometimes get an inaccurate sense of the relationship, or what people are really like.

The Dec meeting in her city was because I was going to a show in that city anyway. She was coming to my city in Jan but that was never signed off on. But we had frequent video dates more than the other girl.

Most likely closer to my mother so I can look in on her since she has health issues (OH, KY, or IN). I have a lot of friends out there and I feel there is nothing I need in DC that makes the higher rent worth it anymore.
