You're right on all counts and I came to the same conclusions about two hours ago. I figured I would just make this thread for the hell of it, just see what others anons would think about my situation.
I like your third solution but again, we were only ever Internet friends. It would take a lot on her end for us to meet in person. She lives in Canada and I live in California. I did send her a message on an online account that she's still active on but I am NOT getting my hopes up.
It does hurt on some level but now that I'm older, I choose to look back on our time together fondly. I feel like I found a missing part of myself that I didn't even realize I had lost. A lot of my behavior towards dating and romance has been explained with this recent reminder of what I had before so if nothing else, I can use this epiphany to improve my outlook on my romantic life and build towards a solid relationship with some woman I'll meet in the future.
I'm not sure what else to say... Time is a cruel mistress and she punishes us all sooner or later. I thought this girl was annoying back then and now that I'm older, holy fuck I would do anything to have a girl like her in my life. It's not like she was obsessed with me but we would talk for HOURS every single day for like a month. I was young and full of angst, anger, and resentment. I found her annoying at the time and decided to ghost her. What a mistake... Like I said, I sent her a message in the hopes we can reconnect but whatever happens, I know I need to be able to move on and focus on the life I have now. We are meant to learn from things like this and apply the newfound knowledge on the relationships we have now.
