Since I recently started learning Japanese (about nine months ago) I took it upon myself to go find some natives on the Internet to talk to. Where I found a girl who is completely obsessed with me for no reason.
We video skyped a couple of times but nothing major. After three months of me talking to her on and off she tells me that she really likes me as a person because literally everyone else she has met online has hit on her. She said this in Japanese and it amounted to "weird foreigners say weird things to me online, but you haven't."
Fast forward a little bit and she tells me that she wants to be in a relationship and even I though I don't consider it one I agree because I felt like it was the pragmatic thing to do for various reasons.
I later find out that she has barely any contact with her parents who live in America or her brothers. And she works as a fashion model to pay for her own schooling. That's all fine and good, but a doctor in Japan that she went to told her she is anorexic and needs to fix it. And being told you have anorexic in Japan is a feet since BMI related diseases start at a lower BMI.
We met a couple months ago and I did sleep with her.
Anyways, it's clear to me that she has many mental afflictions and is suffering from some deep seeded loneliness. She even once told me that she would be fine with me cheating because "all men do that."
Right now, I am single and I had no qualms about pretending to like this girl, and I know I will get shit on here for that, but I am here to ask for advice. Because I met a girl at my school that I actually really like and I want to pursue that.
But I also fear that if do anything wrong with the Japanese girl she might harm herself and at this point, since I was using her, that her mental, and physical well-being is my responsibility.
tl;dr: Japanese girl falls in love with me over the internet, I stuck with it just in case I ever wanted easy access to Japan, afraid now that if I break it off so I can pursue someone I actually like, she might harm herself.
