Love is Complicated

I am so confused right now.  My boyfriend and I split up over a month ago so we could take a couple months off to get our things straight, but he later tells me the real reason he left was because of something he supposedly forgave me for 2 years ago.  We were going to therapy to help us move forward, but he hasn't called me since our last therapy session which was about a week ago.  The therapist assigned us an exercise to try to help us move forward, but how the heck can we do that if he never calls or sees me?  I'm thinking he has already made up his mind and he was just going to therapy to appease me.  I really have no idea where I stand right now and I hate being left in the dark.  It's driving me crazy so I asked him to come by tonight so we can talk, but I've pretty much come to terms with things and if we do end up breaking up for good I think I can make it through.  There's another thing I'm really confused about.  For the past 2 weeks I've kinda been talking with a guy 7 years younger than me that I met in a game called Aion.  He's a really sweet guy and I really like him.  He's been getting me through this tough time.  He makes me smile and makes me feel special and wanted.  We've already been planning on me coming to visit him for a week to see how things go.  The extent of our relationship is mostly flirting and even though he says he doesn't care about sex it seems like that's all he talks about sometimes.  Age doesn't really matter to me.  I think it's all about maturity that really matters, but I'm kind of questioning this guy's maturity.  He's not a very good speller and I know he's smart, but he doesn't seem to be a very deep thinker.  Other than that we have a lot in common.  I don't know if he's just infatuated with the fact that I'm a girl gamer and I share most of his interests or if he does in fact like me for me.  He says I'm his dream girl and that I'm amazingly beautiful and I'm the first girl he's ever considered having a long distance relationship with.  He's even already thinking about moving to Texas in the next couple of years because I have a career here.  That really means a lot to me, but I really just don't know what to do right now.  My sister says I'm not rushing into anything with him since I won't even be seeing him for at least 3 months anyway.  But he does seem to be moving a little fast with me.  Someone please give me some advice.

    about the boyfriend you have now, get out. for sure, if that's how you feel, all you are doing is torturing yourself. I am always telling everyone I know, think about number ONE. you are all you need to worry about. if you are not happy with the way things are going and he is not willing to make any sort of difference, let it go, walk away and move on. as I was reading your story, I could tell you immediately got a little more excited about this other guy online. I know exactly how you feel (kinda doing the same thing with someone in a game) and I think you should go for it. but you ALWAYS need to remember: you are miles and miles away from each other, and will never really know this person until you spend real time with them. there will always be some sort of trust issues because you are far away, but if you have faith in this guy, then its worth a shot. meet him and see how it goes, especially focus on whether or not it CAN go further.

    always keep in mind that you don't know him until you spend time with him. it is the internet, and no matter how much you want to say you know him very well, you don't until you have that one-on-one. I promise. it is very easy to be a little naive when it comes to this, because I've caught myself not remembering those things-and you can end up hurting your own feelings for it.

    I hope I helped, get out of this perturbing relationship you are in now, forget about him, if he is not willing to help you help the relationship than it's not worth your time for it to be a one-way street.

    good luck with everything
