last summer i met a boy in a chatroom ... yes i know chatroom. I use to go in them all the time when i was bored and whatever play around i guess anyways i started talking to this kid, and over time i actuallu started to like him. I never seena picture of him at first so i know i liked him for him and not what he looks like. We kinda dated ... ughhh sounds gay i know i know. Its not like i cant get a guy in real life, i can and i do but i always end up thinking about him. I've seen his picture only a month ago and hes alright! not cute or anything but i still love him. His personality is wonderful and i cant get enough of him, but the whole idea of meeting him from online makes me feel like a geek! i dunt noe. I had a boyfriend before i met him and i was in love or at least i thought i was. i already knew what i wanted but now i want him!! is that weird??? And i know hes not a fake!!! he has a myspace and has ALOT of friends on it from his school and we talk on the phone?? do you guys think its weird .... do you think its possible to be in love with someone you hardly know but in a way you do!!

First, I don't think it's weird to meet a person on-line. I met my husband and the father of my daughter on a personals site.

There is something I can say from experiences that I had before I met my hubby. Don't let yourself get too involved with someone sight unseen. He may sound good. He may look alright in the picture he sent you. He may seem to have a lot of friends who you would think know him in real life, but until you have a person in front of you, until you go out with him in person and meet his friends and see what he actually looks like, don't invest too much of yourself in him.

I know it's an easy thing to say and a difficult thing to do. But what you like right now is what he is portraying himself to be. Now I didn't say he's lying about who he is. It's just that until you see him in the flesh and meet him in person, you only know what he wants you to know. You don't know all his flaws, all his shortcomings. You know what he wants you to know, which is fine. But until you see him for all that he is, what he wants you to see and what he doesn't want you to see, try not to let yourself get caught up in love with him. You may be setting yourself up for a world of hurt if you do.

All that being said, hell no, you are not a geek! After all, if you were a geek for just meeting someone on-line, then what am I for meeting someone on-line, falling madly in love with him, marrying him and having his baby?

Good luck and be careful with that heart of yours... it's fragile stuff!
