If you are joining a dating site that doesn’t have anyone in your area actively using it, it may be best to spend some more time seeking out other dating sites that may have people in your area actively using them.
Try to go this route first before thinking about the possibility of pursuing a LDR(Long Distance Relationship) on a dating site.
You should end it for good if what you want is to be with him romantically.
If this guy that you met on a dating website who lives far away doesn’t like you romantically, he wouldn’t be a good candidate to continue interacting with.
He may not like the idea of severing the connection because he just enjoys talking to you.
