I'm in or was in a 1 year, and some odd months online dating with a woman.

She moved out of the US to be with her mom in a different country. We was making time for each other as much as we could. Any way time passed, and she decided to move somewhere else. She started to think I was cheating on her. I told her I would never do that. She wanted me to move where she was at. I couldn't make that move thou. More time passed, and I thought what if I would move at lease half way. We talked about it. She didn't want to do it thou. She said only reason I wanted to do that was, because she thought I had a thing for Asians. She slowly started to stop talking to me. Now I'm talking to other girls. I haven't kissed anyone or made out to be single. I don't know if what I'm doing is cheating or not since I can't get ahold of my girlfirend any more. I feel bad thou since I was going to ask her to marry me.

I'm still young only 22. My girlfriend is 26 years old maybe she thought I was to young for her, or something I don't know.

My boyfriend of three years has a close "friend" that we both know. Though, this friend of ours always puts "I love him so much!" on her facebooks and blogs (him being the name of my boyfriend) and when i confront him about it all he replies is "so she likes me?" He is always so close to jump up and say it is not his fault, and i just can't believe him anymore.

I when on a cruise this year and meet this amazing guy! At the time we were both single. The only problem is we live 14-hour away form each other and I’m still in school. I message him back and forth for about 4 month. In that time, I got a boyfriend, and he got a girlfriend! Then a month ago, he got a cell phone. We have been talking on the phone and texting back and forth. He promised me he would wait for me for the 2 years I’m still in school for; we have already made plans for the future together. I have always planed on moving down to the same state where he continently lives. I like this guy a lot! I feel like I’m cheating on my boyfriend though. I don’t know if this other guy will follow through with the 2-year plan.
