Update on British guy

Last week I posted about the British guy I've been communicating with via myspace. I was worred because he and I were really connecting yet we'd probably never meet. Well, it turns out he had the exact same worries and he has cut of contact. The really irritating thing is that this happened after he found out he'll be coming to my state for business next month. He'll be in another city 3 hours away, but it's better than being several thousand miles away! Apparantly he wants to meet me, but he doesn't. He's afraid he'll fall in love with me (he actually wrote that)and then have to go home. So he thinks it is "proper" to cut ties now to make it easier. AAAARGHHH!! This also happened after I saw the movie "The Holiday" and started getting my hopes up that if two people want to be together, they will find a way, no matter what.
But, I have recently started talking with another English guy, who I found through the whole social networking path of this guy. But I think I'm bothering this one, because he doesn't seem the least bit interested. Of course, he emails me back because of that whol British hospitality/politeness I hear about, but he's immune to my charms. Ah well, time to stick with American guys, I suppose. LOL It's not that I'm purposely looking for guys from England, it just sort happened that I found these 2 who seem interesting, Plus, I jsut finishd up a sociology course that has made me think that American culture is not exactly emotionally healthy, so I'm expanding my horizons, I guess.

I think it's great you have expanded your cultural-geographical horizons but for me I seek an intimate (emotional, spiritual, physical, sexual) relationship and it's too challenging unless I actually am in the presence of the other at least once a week in order to establish a relationship.
I am curious about your remark on how Americans are not emotionally healthy. What in particular behavior or values are you talking about? Have you experienced other cultures or learned about them to know how more healthy they are?

Directed mostly to the OP:
I used to branch out and browse through other countries as well. I thought as well that other cultures tended to be more socially acceptable and higher-brow than Americans. Mostly I would browse English sites. I also had the Anglo fantasy.
And then I got my wish. I actually got to date a few Brits. Let me tell you - by and by, they are no different. In fact, just now there is a Brit in my city on Craigs List under Man Seeking Woman. He goes on to say in what he doesn't want - he doesn't want "fatties" and "no retards." He actually uses these exact words.
So at this point, it's not that I have a bad attitude towards anyone, but people are people regardless of dialect.
