2 years ago, I had an american friend (a girl) on a social network, who was my best friend in the internet back then. But within 2 or 3 weeks, we lost contact as her device was "messed up" (as she said). For a year or so, I missed her drastically.
Then I other girls of my age in other social network, one of whom eventually became my cyber girlfriend. Nearly 2 months passed, but then I realised that I wouldn't be satisfied if I couldn't meet my gf persons, which was obviously impossible cause it was a cyber relationship. As time passed, I became so busy that I hardly gave her any time. She kept complaining to me that I didn't pay her enough attention. More days passed, and we broke up. Since then, I decided that I wouldn't get into another cyber relationship again, and rather try to get a gf in the real world.
Yesterday, I met a girl in another social network. As a matter of luck, she turned out to be the girl who had lost contact with me 2 years ago! I was very happy to find her back. And so was she. We chatted a lot and exchanged virtual gifts, most of which symbolized love. But, at the end of the evening, I recieved a message from her in which she said "I love you". Now that's where I need your help. I like her very much. At the same time, I don't really want a cyber relationship again. I also have a severe lack of free time. But I don't wanna reject her either. What should I do and what should I write in reply?

Life ain't all bubble gum and candy corn. If you don't want to be with her then you have to reject her. Don't make yourself miserable because you want to make someone else not have to be hurt

Zach's right. Sometimes tough times call for tough measures.

OK... So how do I do it?

Just tell her nicely that you aren't interested in committing to her.

Can you please show me an example?

Not particularly... I don't really have one. Sorry, mate.

It's OK. I'll try myself.. It's gonna be a hard thing for me to reject her. But it's for her own good, cause the relationship won't last. My previous gf was severely hurt after breaking up, as she had drawn herself closer to me.

Agreed. Its easier to end something when you're not attached to them.

I think real relationships are the right way to go. Just tell her how you feel about it.
