He's already told you he just wants friendship. You cannot make people love you.

One thing about Internet relationships (long distance) -- they often compress a lot of feelings together in one concentrated shot. You feel everything, and it's very intense and very, very fast. But there is an enormous qualitative difference between people who just chat online versus those who call on the telephone and then there is a difference between those folks and the ones who meet.

It can be a progression and, yes, people can marry. But they have to go outside their comfort zone and they have to spend some money. It has to be a commitment of some sort, and a time commitment by two bored, otherwise unengaged (I don't mean no engagement ring, I mean nothing else is catching their attention or occupying their time) people to just exchange emails or chats -- even if it is for hours at a time -- is a far cry from people talking (and paying for) long distance phone calls and then that is light years from people buying plane tickets and using them.

I have been managing not just this site but going back to chatrooms it's back over 11 years and have seen this happen repeatedly. People "fall" for each other but if they are unwilling to spend a dime then that's all it's worth.

@CalamityJane,
I think it's worthwhile to enjoy the company if it makes you feel good. I agree that the chances of anything coming out of the long distance relationship is very very low....but life is short, and you've got some nice company so you should love and appreciate it while it's there.
