The heart is going to do what the heart wants to do. Your mind can only really help when your emotions are not completely overriding it. Let’s say you, today, decide to stop talking to him. How are you going to do that? What, exactly, is going to stop you from changing your mind tomorrow?
Online dating does not work for me, and I personally would not consider taking up with a girl that lives far away unless I could afford to go see them early and often. The reason for me is that I need physical presence to determine compatibility.
The most horrible thing in my mind that I could do to a lady is to promise her the world and then finally when we get together I realize we aren’t compatible and I have to break up with her. Or worse, stay in a relationship that doesn’t work for me.
So, for me, I would never be able to make any kind of real promises to a lady I only know online. Relationships are practically constructed out of promises, a relationship without them is just a friendship. Promises are required to ensure that the two people are meeting each other’s needs.
If tomorrow he told you he met a cool girl where he works and they went out for lunch, how would that make you feel? What if he did it a year from now after you’ve been planning your wedding in your head for months. If you asked him today to not talk to other girls, how do you think he’d respond? I would be very wary of making promises or even talking to a girl like I am considering getting romantically involved.
But again, that’s just me. Other guys are not as clear about their needs and intentions as I am. Unscrupulous ones will make you promises they don’t take seriously at all. Or they’ll lead you to believe that they have without actually saying it.
