Dating app connection kills romance

Dear Amy: Three months ago, I met a girl through a dating app.

The first night we met, she said she was moving to LA in a month and wanted a guy she could sleep with in the meantime. I obliged.

After a few weeks of being together, she starting telling me that she loved me.

I was surprised at first because it was extremely soon and she was supposed to be moving. After a month together, she pushed back her move date to stay with me longer. I started to develop strong feelings for her and I began to fall in love with her.

During this time, she had to go out to LA for work a couple of times. I did not know at the time that she had an ex she'd been with for about five or six years who was living in LA. When she went out there, she saw him.

She came back from one of her trips and I confronted her about it. She told me she loves me and thinks about marrying me and having kids.

 

She said if she was engaged to me she would have a reason to stay here.

She said she felt obligated to see her ex because he had been there for her during a difficult time in her life.

Last month, she moved out to LA, and in with him.

We still talk daily. She says she loves me and wants to be my wife.
