The guy broke up with her. Over the phone. For a fictional woman. Why would you want to "be serious" with a guy who does that?

#89 In her defense, you can't always tell what kind of a person someone is before you date them. My last relationship, the guy and I had similar interests in comics and video games, but other than the nerdiness, he seemed like a real intelligent, laid back kind of guy, had a decent sense of humor, was polite and kind, and we got along great. It took a year before his true colors showed, and I found out that he was lazy, whiny, argumentative, had no sex drive, and was a liar. Not to mention the fact that he said he'd love me more if I was Asian. And yes, he dumped me because he wanted to move to Japan and marry an adorable Japanese virgin. There was absolutely no way for me to know that he was a freak when we first started going out, because he seemed so normal, but as he got more comfortable with me, the more he changed. I'm guessing OP had something similar happen, because you'd have to be damn desperate to date someone that is a freak right off the bat.

This isn't as bad as that FML with the girl who dumped her boyfriend because he wasn't enough like Edward Cullen.

Wait...he dumped you for HIS character? Not even someone else's character? That's kind of like dumping you because he loves his hand more. XD
