@Pyro (and Robin and Hurting)

I completely agree online romances are just that, ROMANCE.

i went through a horrendous marriage of 4 yrs,divorced and was ready to swear off women for good and be a bachelor for the rest of my life.

and then i was running through Westfall on my pally one day and met a mage.
that was over 2 yrs ago and that mage is now my fiance, wedding date looks like this dec.

just because you meet in game like we did, or through a dating site, or blog or w/e, it doesn't change how you can develop feelings. I would suggest just what Robin and Lisa did, take it slow, try it out, and see if your feelings are mutual.

you might be surprised, i know i was the first time i opened up to my soon-to-be wife. i found out that she had liked me and fallen for me about the same time i was falling for her, but it took us 3 months to realize it and talk about it.

just keep it casual, take it slow, and give it a shot. if he isn't what he seems, then you are better off without him, but he might just be shy about his feelings.
