I experienced the same thing Watashi Wa, the best you can do is just leave it at an online relationship. Janus is right when it comes to poeple being different online. I once thought I was indeed in love but began to think it would never happen, or maybe the person was not as good as they were online. We both knew how what each other looked like, but the problem was how it would be offline.
Hope you find a way to figure something out. I did.
