[Passionaria]

I think your feelings are spot on. I think rude is a mild word. Its inconsiderate, and emotionally immature. Lack of moral fiber in my opinion.

I think that it is easy to be cold, behave badly, or callously when you don't have to look someone in the eye. It's like breaking up with someone you have been intimate with over the phone, or text. Really? It's cowardly, in my opinion. Sometimes I think all this quick media can breed shallowness.

The upshot? Thank goodness you learned about this persons lack of communication skills before letting your heart get too involved. Sometimes a long distance, I've never met you but "love you" situation is perfect for someone with intimacy issues, because it never gets too "real".
