Single for Good?

When you are putting way more effort into this than he is, then the loss of this relationship is not a bad thing. I think that maybe we attract what we are willing to put up with. To expend the effort that you put out to have someone basically say, "Naah, never mind. I'm not really that interested in you." is terribly disappointing. I guess the lesson from this is that it is not wise to invest that heavily in someone who has not shown a reciprocal willingness to put forth an effort.

I am seeing more and more examples of people getting pretty involved with cyberspace relationships, only to find out that, when they meet in real life, the connection they have is not what they thought it was. At least now you won't waste anymore time on this guy. Also, it should be harder for someone else to do this to you. If you raise the bar on what you expect from a guy, before you go to heroic lengths to further the relationship, then maybe you will get more.

Sorry you had such a let down.
