Topic : Online Dating

hey everyone! im so confused about this, and i didnt know where else to turn for advice. seeking advice from people for an outside oppinion might be able to help me.

Im 22 years old and im head over heels in love with a guy named Chris. Chris is 26 years old. We met online about a year and a half ago. july 27th 2006 he came out to visit me for 4 days. it was the best 4 days of my life. it just confirmed my feelings for him and my love for him. i was so happy for the 4 days that we were able to hold eachother. i slept in his arms every night and it was the best feeling in the world. he bought me a diamond ring as a promise ring to show his love for me.

He left July 31st. it was the hardest day of my life having to say goodbye to him even if it was only going to be for a little while. we talked every day and night through august and then he got a letter from the military asking him to join. it was something he always dreamed of doing and i wasnt going to stand in the way of that. it was his passion to join the marines, and he talked about it more than once before. August 25th he told me he had to leave.. it was sudden and unexpected, i didnt have a chance to ask him for the information that i needed to be able to write to him.

Its been over a year since i met him in person, and since august 25th 2006, i havent talked to him. ive been trying and trying a million different ways to contact him but the military keeps saying they cant help me because im not directly related to him (mother/father). theres been breakthroughs, and dead ends... recently i got a friend to talk to a high ranking officer thats able to contact chris's general or whatever they call it. so my question to you all.. do i wait for the love of my life, who gave me a promise ring and told me he loved me... or do i move on because i havent heard from him in over a year?

im so confused.. please help me!

I am a woman in my mid 40's.  I finallly started to date again and signed onto Match.com.  Haven't been overly agressive with it but did contact a great sounding guy.  After some emails and calls we decided to meet for dinner.  We hit it off immediately!  A great match on all things.  We both admitted it. 

He invited me to dinner the next night, sent me romantic emails and cards all week the next week while I traveled.  We spent the entire next weekend together (at his request) running errands, shopping talking and drinking wine... therin lies the mistake. 

We did have too much wine one night and we had sex and worst of all, I am the one that started it.  That is not me and I make no excuses, but it happened.  We went out the next day and night together and had sex again.  All was well the next morning.  I left to travel for a business trip and his emails and calls began to drop down significantly.  When I returned he called and said we was going to remove himself from the dating scene.  Told me I am a great girl and a great match, but he isn't ready.  done.  I asked if it has anything to do with the sex and he said no...

This guy is great,  He is a good match and we both admit that - even during his call.  I'd like to have another chance with him but don't know how to go about it.  If he is scared then I shouldn't push to fast.  If he truly isn't interested than I embarass myself - which would actually be worth it.

Any suggestions?  I could really use some.
