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?

Don't ever send anyone on the internet money.
Ever.
The fact that she went cold on you means she is looking for someone who will give her the money she wants.

Beware of anyone asking you for money.
You knew nothing about her.
Nothing.
Everything she told you could have been a lie, and she played on your emotions to get money from you.

I think you were played & scammed. I would stop instant messaging her & cut all communications. I'm sorry you're hurting, but you deserve to be treated better.

I have not read any of the responses yet but my initial reaction is that you should run for the hills the second someone you met online asks you to send them money. I would consider it a blessing that when you attempted to send money it would not go through.

It depends what is money for you. Few bills dont change much for you? If the woman which is on site for a long time asks for money it means that she needs a man which has money. There are lots of people, people come and go. Sending money sometimes meet to establish ties. I would never meet anyone for free, I need sucessful man. She would disappear, she would continue looking certainly so!
