This.
The truth of the game is that we self insert, to one extent or another.
Some fully delve into a delusional state of mind (which is harmful), others just into passing imagination when they see a picture in a certain mood, maybe some music playing, and the feel just comes in at that moment.
(And all other cases in-between extremes, of course.)
At whatever case a bf is the final nail in the coffin to confirm to you that it is indeed not possible, not geographically impossible, not culturally impossible, age/social level money etc, but relationship impossible, as she has a so. And you're reminded of the absurdity of it all and that comfy feeling can not longer be maintained as the last possible grasp of imagination (no bf) has been shut down.
Sad as it is, that's life, what can you do.
Maybe she will even experience something similar, just with different parameters.
