I am new here and sought you out to help with me some advice, wisdom, or whatever can be offered to assuage my growing concerns over this LDR that I am experiencing with a man from Melbourne, Autralia. We met on an internet dating site and started with e-mails then he invited me to chat with him. The chats were wonderful - he sent me poetry he had written and told me all about his 10 year old son and what they like to do together (these chats were almost too good to be true - like I finally found my soulmate). We disclosed all sorts of things about our pasts and he was making plans to come here in December for a four week visit. We talked on the phone several times and he has told me that he loves me - (okay I know it is difficult to actually "love" someone you haven't met physically - but we seemed to have a made a very strong connection). I have told him that I have serious issues with trust and have been very hurt in the past. He told me that he would never ignore me and that he would try to never hurt me.
Here is where things get strange. A couple of weeks ago he lost his computer (it needed repair) and I didn't hear from him at all except for a brief phone call I made to make sure everything was okay when he told me what happened...then he got it back and was in the process of chatting with me when my parents stopped by for a brief visit. He said he would take a shower and talk to me later (he is 16 hours ahead of me and had just woke up). Well, that was the last IM I received(9/11/04) and subsequent phone calls to his home only got his roommate who did finally tell me that he had mentioned to my guy that I had called and that he said he needed to e-mail me - I am still waiting (9/21/04)....
What has happened? This is blowing my mind not to have heard from him for over something like 10 days when the discussions used to be almost daily. It is breaking my heart because we were practically perfect for each other and had very few differences. My folks and my daughter tell me to be patient, but I just find it weird and wonder if he is trying to avoid me? I am sick of feeling like this - any advice would be most appreciated...
Confused and lonely in Denver -
