So if this doesn't belong here, I'm sorry, but I could really use some advice and insight.

I've been talking to a woman who unfortunately lives in a different country, I'm definitely in love with her, but every time I'm affectionate, she completely ignores it, I asked her if I make her uncomfortable with my affection and she says no, she said she doesn't love me yet but is really starting to,which is completely fine, she can take as long as she needs to figure things out but lately she has been very distant and I've only been getting like 2 messages a day, I can see the writing on the wall, I'm not stupid but what I'm trying to ask i guess is...am I stupid, crazy, pathetic or broken for being willing to put myself though this day after day just because im so lonely? we will never see each other in our lives, and yet my heart still hurts.. and I feel I'm the pathetic and stupid one...is that true?

Why would you get so interested in someone who lives so far away? Move on.

If she asks you for money, or gift cards, run like Forest Gump.

Everything sounds good, but it may just be early days. First thing you need to ask yourself is, is she real? Have you had a video call yet, where you can at least see the person you are chatting to. Stay chatting and don't push things, the more you find out about each other the better, gives her time to think and you time to think seriously about a long distance relationship' they are not an easy option. Taking one step at a time, I would say you need to meet each other soon but only when you both feel comfortable in meeting up. Once you are happy that she is who she says she is and after a few video calls, maybe think about your next holiday and going to meet her, this shows how serious you are, and until you meet in real life you cannot be absolutely certain about each other. One serious piece of advice, no matter what you feel now about her, and whatever is said in the future, NEVER EVER EVER send money or gifts to someone you have not met in real life. If it is suggested by her for any reason whatsoever, then it is most definitely a scam no matter how long you have been chatting. It will be hard and difficult for you to accept but you must move on.
