I dunno. I keep up online relationships with friends I haven't seen in years... or have never seen. It can work if there's a connection. My advice to you is to wait it out. If you can't be with him the way you want, then you can still be friends, right? It's better than nothing. Relax and appreciate what you have. Hope that helps. =)
well lots lots of online relationships do work man and well dunno I have real cool one across the other side of the world, and If I had a bf or gf around here it would be only to pass the time til' I got over there man. So if he really loves her, you'll just be hurting yourself try adn relax hang out as friends for a while and test the grounds with subtle intimacy
Hope that helps. =)
