From the HealthyPlace.com Bulletin Boards: "Internet/IM Friendship End?"

bluenote:

"Has anyone ever experienced something like this? I communicated on almost a weekly basis for hours on end for about 3 years with someone from out-of-state. We finally met for the first time and it was so hard to connect with this person in the "physical" realm that I was not even able to really be myself. I believe that the whole meeting ruined what we had and am devastated. Maybe it was a mistake from the beginning, but it did not feel like a mistake. Please, any advice for this brokenheart."
