Possibly forget about the guy on the internet. Tell him that you think it’s time to move on? Logically, you’re more likely to have any sort of future with the guy who lives near you, not with the guy you haven’t met face to face ever.

How do you even know it’s a guy on the internet? Have you met him, is he even real? Basically, he’s not - he’s little more than a robot. Your emotions are attached to electrical wires and keyboards… maybe even a webcam if you’re getting kinky… If you can’t touch him he’ll never touch you.

1) Pick one, whatever else you do, don’t try both.

2) Bail on the net relationship. Internet relationships are in most cases bull-scheisse. (Yah yah yah, I know tons of you will chime in ‘Hey! I found my bubba online and we are sooo happy!’ Congrats, but your personal experience doesn’t override the large amount of empirical data provided by University and Federal research on just this very subject.) I repeat, most internet relationships harm the participants more than they help.

If you want to be with the guy who lives near you then you will have to tell the internet guy that you have met someone closer to home that you like and that you are going to be seing him. Tell him that your going to end your “Relationship” and it would be cool if you stayed friends. Unfortunatley you cant have both of them.
