I was giving it a try.. Seriously, my luck with girlfriends was never good.. Car accident, broke up with me for another girl, broke up with me because I was too smart, broke up with me for my friend, etc.. I decided to try being with another guy for once and see how it goes.
Being with a guy is almost certainly worthless if you don't already have an attraction to men. Usually, if that is going to work, the attraction is fundamentally there, repressed or no.
I think, in general, a relationship over the internet with someone far away who you've never met in person previously is an awful idea. Breaking up with them was the right call. I would stay single and be more careful about building relationships. How quickly did your previous relationships go?
