Because she's in Thailand? Sorry man, not the case. I understand where you're coming from, because I've talked to women like that from the Philippines and elsewhere, I know its common. But I've also learned what to look for. This girl has a thriving business as a designer, does better than I do, and doesn't want to leave Thailand. She's not a scammer. I know the warning signs of that, she gave me none.

My daughter went through something very similar and to this day she will still cry over this guy. She says he was "the one" but they met to late and there is nothing anybody could ever do about it. In the beginning I thought it would pass with time but even though they never talk anymore, it hasn't left with her.I just want to say that I see how sad this could be and if it is real, it probably will not leave anytime soon whether you have met in person or not.If it hangs around way after you stop talking, you may want to make a trip to Thailand because she could be "your one".Just my opinion.

It's hard to imagine I would know if she's the one after only 10 weeks on a webcam. But at the same time, I do feel heartbroken, much like I did after I lost a girl I had dated for three years in real life. But, like I said, I don't want to have a long term online marriage with a woman, I want someone I can be with in real life every day.

Yes, it CAN be another way to meet someone, and in that case, the people actually meet before they "develop" these feelings for each other. Falling for someone before you've ever looked each other in the eye (real life, that is) is foolish.

I know it sounds crazy. I even think it sounds crazy when I say it to myself. But, what I feel is real. What she feels is real. Trust me, I'd love not to feel so sad right now, as I know she would as well.

It can and it does happen. Sorry.

However, I have to ask - how did this ever started and what were your intentions? Because for some reason I never chat up random guys online even here, much less in Thailand or any other place I'm not really interested in going to?

Fair question. There are some webcam sites that have a lot of international people on them. I enjoy going on and meeting people from all over the world. People from cultures I would never meet here in the usa. In fact, I often seek out people from around the world to talk to, I think its a fun hobby. I inititally started talking to her for that reason. And it turned out we were in a related profession, so we kind of hit it off. I've been going through a lonely period in my life, working alot, and so has she. I think turning on the computer and having this interesting person from halfway around world to learn about is an easy way to fill a lonliness gap, for both of us. 10 minutes turned into 30 minutes, 30 to 60 and before you know it we've talked for 3 or 4 hours. And this happened several nights a week.

Well, that's called playing with fire and one is likely to get burned...
