Dear Annie: I’m in love with a woman I’ve never met in person

To Annie, please:

I’ve spent more than two and a half years in a long-distance relationship. Despite never having met, we have been exchanging emails for a long time. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama, and I’m in Tennessee, but she spends a lot of time in Seattle for work. Both of us are seventy years old. I’m into her, and she seems to be into me.

I’ve made numerous attempts to meet her, offering to travel to Seattle or even meet in Las Vegas. Naturally, I never hear back from her when she says she has to think it over. She hasn’t responded when I’ve asked her why she won’t meet.

She has never requested presents or cash from me. I am aware that she had a difficult divorce a long time ago. Particularly given our age, we have all experienced difficult times. She is a perfect fit because she is a Capricorn. My issue is that I don’t give up when I see something I desire, even though I know you’ll advise me to stop. That might be my weakness!

She has told me that I’m beginning to tear down some of her barriers, so call me crazy. Am I stupid? Insane

To Crazy:

Even if it is difficult to hear, you only have this individual as a pen friend for a maximum of two and a half years. The most worrisome thing is that in the years you’ve known her, this woman hasn’t even permitted a phone call.

It’s obvious that this individual isn’t ready for a romantic relationship if they are who they claim to be. It’s unclear if that’s because of her nasty divorce or because she doesn’t view you as her future partner. We do know that you are entitled to a genuine relationship with future prospects, and this woman isn’t it—at least not yet.
