Cape Max you seem to be a nice guy so maybe that was an unreasonable move especially if it was influenced by the above posters, most people are going to say that they find edating stupid regardless of what their true opinion is because this is a forum and people want to be liked. You should perhaps continue the relationship as long as you can fulfill the following criteria:
1) Have some contact with her beyond text eg, voice chat/web cam.
2) Have the intention to meet her in real life, and make sure she wants that too.
3) Be fully prepared to see what she is like in real life, eg. will you perhaps just find her unattractive or maybe she will act very differently in real life, eg. more shy. You have to anticipate these differences and accept that she will be different in some way.
I've had several very close relationships with people on RS, both male and female, and honestly I'd say it made the game a lot more enjoyable for everyone involved, but at the same time it is true that real life is much better. It's easy to forget qualities like gazing into somebody's eyes, seeing the sunlight reflect off of their hair, seeing them smile because of you. I can't say I've experienced that much but when I have it was far more intense than any of my experiences online. The internet in general limits the range of emotions that you can have, but on the other hand it does allow people to open up to you in a different way. Some of the posters here may say things like 'Oh go outside and fuck some bitches it's better than pixels' but the affection that you receive from somebody caring about you sincerely cannot be compared to just physical sensations of touching somebody.
Feel free to continue your relationship as long as you MAKE something tangible come of it, don't just wait and see what happens, don't leave it to fate but actually manipulate the future into being the way that you want it to be for both of you.
