So....this may not be what you want to hear, but you never really dated except casually hanging out. There was never a serious commitment, and now you are asking him to commit to a long distance relationship, which is difficult in the best of times. You want to "win him back" but it doesn't appear you ever really had him. I suggest you focus on work and meeting new people. If he's really the one for you, he'll *want* to make the effort to visit, and vice versa. You'll both make it work if it's meant to be. But, if he's not willing to travel 2 hours to see you, or to make time for you when you visit him, then he's moved on, and you should too.
In the meantime, you should work on your self esteem and learning to like yourself. I'm concerned that you write that "I am used to guys who use me for their convenience and then essentially get rid of me when it's time for them to move on." You are worth more than that, and should never allow yourself to be treated that way. If you don't learn to value yourself higher, you will continue to attract these type of men. I think you need to work on yourself first, then worry about dating. There are better men out there, and you will eventually meet one, but first you need to do some introspection and figure out WHY you keep attracting (and being attracted to) men who don't appreciate you. Your self esteem should not be linked to who you are dating. If you don't respect and value yourself enough to treat yourself right, they won't either.
Hi! So, my name is Riley, and I only very recently got into Neopets again.
I used to be really, REALLY into Neopets 10-ish years ago, but eventually just stopped playing. Either way, I got some more free time so I figured I'd give it a try again. But, I didn't have anyone to play it with and talk about, so I figured I'd join a forum as well!
That's all I suppose, but feel free to ask any questions
