Good luck OP-san. From what I gather you're a devoted and gentle guy. Lots of girls like that and even if it didn't work out with Robin, I'm pretty sure you'll meet other girls out there.

Please avoid online relationships. Most girls you meet online will lie about their age and are actually younger than what they say they are. It could be a possibility that using her religion as a reason is a bit out of hand even if it is Islamic. I think she's exaggerating the religious bit to get out of something she didn't intend to get so deep into.

She could also of sent you a picture that wasn't her. Robin may have put up so many lies that the prospect of meeting you in real life as growing nearer and nearer, that she became frightened to tell the truth.

It may be because of her religion and nationality, but Robin sounds over controlled by her parents. Girls who are around the age of 16 should have some degree of independence and it sounds like she doesn't. Again, I think she's younger than she says she is.

I say all these things because I'm experienced as a girl. I've also done these things to other guys online when I first started chatting and I feel guilty. I 'dated' a guy online when I was 12 and said I was 16. I barely remember him and I don't consider him my first boyfriend or anything.

OP-san, you will meet someone in real life. It will mean so much more and you will know that your feelings are sincere. Most online relationships are first experiences for people who have never dated.. and when they reflect back onto it, it would be just a passing fancy.
