Fair enough, and I think you were both right to not start a relationship at this stage. I'd keep it that way.

I have a flatmate who spends all his evenings and sunday afternoons on Skype to his girlfriend in Germany. Not good.

Worse still, I have an old coursemate who has declared on Facebook that he's in a relationship with a girl from Barbados who he met on a dating site and then proceded to go out there on holiday with her. Basically a £2000 date and possibly a couple of shags. Now he's restricted to a virtual relationship.
