I was honestly afraid this was going to end so much worse than it did. Like he’d turn out to be married, or lying about himself in some other way. It sounds like while it didn’t come to the point of fruition, the experience allowed the two of you to be beneficial to each other in different ways.

Thank you for sharing this story! The internet has become an incredible way to find connections that we may never otherwise have had. Whether good or bad, it has opened the doors to others in ways that were unfathomable just a few years ago.

I'm sorry it worked out the way it did.

Yeah, me too. It seems inevitable now, as a more impartial observer of my own narrative arc. But at the time for a brief moment, it was utterly magical.

I get it. I've been there. Connecting with someone that way feels so overwhelming and real as it's happening. Somehow more real than talking in person.

Sorry it didn’t work out in the way your heart had hoped, but better to have experienced a brief moment of magic than none at all
