Misinterpreted Love Message

I found a close young man downcast recently, and tried to know why. He said he felt all of rash, stupid, humiliated and heartbroken for acting 'wrongly' on a text message from a girl. The girl had written "Call me please. I love you". The man claimed that the love text was pleasantly surprising to him, and this made him phone the girl back immediately to confirm that she actually loved him. The girl answered in the affirmative. Since that time, the man has developed deep love for the girl, particularly for being bold and unpretentious. Meanwhile, they kept exchanging phone calls and texts until after 2 months when the girl returned from school, and visited the man. The love-struck man was so carried away that he hugged and kissed the girl immediately she came in. That was the begining of the man's confusion as the girl seemed to be moody thereafter. When the man enquired why the sudden change in mood, reminding her that she had claimed to love him, the girl said that it was the ordinary non-amorous love she had meant. It is pertinent to mention that this man had been very careful of falling into deep love after a betrayal by a former girlfriend several years back. Who is at fault- the man or the girl?

Maby they are both at fault. Im not quite clear on the story here I take it they had never met face to face before, And maby she had never seen a picture of him so when she did see him he wasnt what she thought.
Online and on phone relationships can be tricky ,you know I found my husband on line and after talking for months thought I loved him he was so sweet when we talked everyday on the internet and sometimes on the phone.so it came time for us to meet in person, I knew the min. I saw him that I loved him with all my heart.
It seems you can talk to someone for a long time and form a relationship with them and maby think you love them but untill you come face to fae with them you cant be 100% sure.

You are right, but this man and girl had known/met each other, and had operated platonic relationship all along. I agree with you that 'blind' internet or 'pen pal' kind of love could generate that kind of result when the parties eventually meet to find complete strangers.
