It's bound to happen sooner or later, of course. Someone that you met online, someone you've grown to like a lot, someone whom you're used to meeting online at the usual time and place... can't make it for some reason, sometimes.
And you might try to write it off in your mind. Especially if you're sort of used to not having that many online friends. Isn't that strange? All of a sudden something becomes a part of you that wasn't there before.
"But hey... it's just words on a screen, right? I might never even meet her in real life. It's not like it's the end of the world, I'm used to being alone, aren't I? I mean, there's words on the screen all over the place online, not that big a deal to miss hers, right?"
"Just her words on a screen, right?"
Sigh. -_-

I know how you feel... I have friends all over the world and when I get sick and cant get online for the normal times, I worry that they'll miss me. I know I miss them when I'm not there... *hugs* don't fret too much. Words are just as important as anything else. And if you meet in real life, wouldn't it be words being used to communicate there too? Chin up.
I'm going through that right now. And i hate to say it, but i'm worried sick. I also worried that...maybe i was being sorta...overemotional about it, that surely other's didn't feel like this.
::huggles:: i'm glad your's did log on. I'm still waiting for mine. i can only hope he's ok. [it's been a week, and we've talked/cammed every day for near 2 years]

Please don't put that kind of pressure on somebody who is so young. If she knows how strongly her absences affect you, *she'll* worry about *you* and she'll be all distracted from the things that she has to do while she's away. In a way that is a form of manipulation or control, to be influencing her in some way even while you're not directly interacting with her.
There are other things you can do if you're lonely. There's a billboard in Florida that I saw that says, "There are 10 billion people on the planet Earth. Mingle."

I'm still waiting for mine, trying to get myself out of this odd funk. :: smiles:: it's not easy..it feels empty ya know? like my day is not complete. But no worries.. nupe, cause i'm sure everything is fine, and he'll come on. ::noddles:: [if not? then i'm hightailing it to scotland to give him such a noogie for making me worry! ^^]
I guess it does happen a lot more than it may seem. Which makes me wonder why people say, those you meet online and befriend, are not "Real" friends. well..certainly feels real to me!

it happens. my pet has been unavailable for most of this callendar year so far, and i miss him. but you have to be careful. you're pretty open about the age difference here, and not only can you get into trouble, but you need to think seriously about whether or not this really is the best thing for her.
