I think you need to stay off the computer and stay on campus. I totally get it - commuters have to work much harder to make friends and create connections in college. When you're there and gone, it's hard to find connections on campus - this is why you hang out online so much. So, design a life where you are hanging out with people your age for longer periods of time. Get a job on campus in the middle of the action that keeps you on campus from sunup to sundown. Join others clubs or organizations (like student government) that keep you on campus after classes let out in the afternoon. Work out at school, study at school, eat at school, meet with instructors at school and hang out at school. Make it a rule that you will not go home until dinner or later. Force yourself to stay on campus and get a job with people your age that keeps you busy. Once you have a life that's busier, you'll see that you have options when it comes to dating. Then you can decide if you want to keep the imaginary boyfriend or find something real.
