Here it helps to be a monist.  Whenever we love, what we love is what we 
experience the other person as.  What ever that "girl" became, you still loved 
"her."  Your love was true, even though the "girl" wasn't.

Ha! Yes, my first brush with the severe cognitive dissonance of "out there" was 
after about a month long virtual relationship over Minitel, with a very nice 
girl. I learned later through meatspace channels that she was not so nice, and 
perhaps not even a girl. It broke my tiny little Texas reared brain.
