Well, how long has it been since you've talked with the guy? Have you ever physically met with him, or was it entirely a computer relationship?

Have you tried contacting him via phone or through an eye-catching post upon his home page?

I really can't advise you on what you should do, I can only give you my opinion. My opinion is that computer intimate relationships should be avoided. Same thing with strictly telephone relationships. There are a lot of non-verbal cues that we are completely unaware of on the computer or phone. The person that we're talking with just may be a complete creep, but has a way with words...how would we know? That's a big concern of mine, personally.

I therefore have a difficult time understanding the issue. I would advise you to chalk this experience up to learning, and aim for more solid relationships in the future. I'm also not a FB user. If you are a big FB user, then maybe some changes can be made to your page to prevent anymore incidents from popping up & hurting you.

Change your address? Keep more strict control over who's allowed to enter your page? Limit your chat to sites where you know everyone personally.

Go out into your community to work upon developing friendships and romance. Maybe ask comfortable people at your job if they'd like to be your friend and do something together. Like: go to a coffee club, a bookstore, or something along those lines. It is challenge. It certainly is for me, anyway! But, you're merely asking like-minded people to go hang out some time. Right?

Anyway, that is my opinion. I hope that it helps you in some way. Btw, welcome to Psych Central! Take care.
