Question Posted Monday July 25 2005, 6:40 pm

OK.. so i know.. online romances are dangerous.. but this is different. Hes my friends cousins friend! Ive never met him personally but I talk to him online and hes sooo sweet. Hes always telling me how nice i am and that he wished i lived in his town. We joke around and when i talk to him im so happy. we're both 14, and i dont know what to think. we were talking and he said i wish i could see u right now so said me too.. lets run away.. (this whole running away thing was just a fantasy for BOTH of us.. we're not really gunna do it).. and we said we were going to vegas together. and we both plan to go to collage in FL, and if we go to the ones we both want, we'll be kinda close.. miami and tampa. and i really really want that. but idk what to do. should i tell him how i feel?.. if i should .. how do i do it?.. im usually very outgoing.. but with this im kinda shy. and wow.. so please just give me your honest opinion on the whole situation. I rate high for advice I like, and i dont rate at all if i dont like it.. i dont like lowering peoples ratings for one question. Thanks in advance!

Well, you can't count on college being the time you meet. Ask your friends cousin to bring you a picture, and you give one to your friends cousin, (have her exchange them) and then y'all would know a little more about it. Online romances are dangerous. I don't knw where he lives, but find out how he feels. Maybe y'all can meet one day. I thnk you shouldn't tell him exactly how you feel, because if you never do meet, you will be hurt, and you didn't even get to meet him.

I think you should continue being friends for now. You are honestly to far apart to date . If you can stay friends until you actually have a chance to meet then you can talk about your feelings. Sometimes a person can write a good game but be totally different in the real world. I'm not saying that's the case with your guy but make sure first. :)

well yeah i know exactly how you feel! k well u should definately tell him cuz youre like 99% this guy is for real right? even if youre shy its okay because ill bet hed be really happy to hear that so i dont think you would regret telling him. then when yall finally will meet, just to be safe, meet in a public place like a resturant and if yall communicate in person and connect, then go for it and good luck to you!

Not all online relationships are dangerous. I met my husband online and it's worked out fine.

Since your relationship so far is online, I would go ahead and tell him how you feel. If you're shy about this just talking online, you will be even more shy if you get the chance face-to-face. Telling him online also has the added bonus of not having to worry about an awkward moment if you happen to meet in town since you live in different towns.

If you're worried about flat-out telling him online, I would suggest dropping little hints to get an idea of his feelings. Tell him how much you think about meeting him in person. Tell him how much you wish you could see his smile when he types lol or lmao. Since he's already mentioned that he wishes he could see you, I don't think it will take many hints to get the ball rolling.

Good luck with your relationship. I wish you the best.

well, im glad you know how this can be dangerous.
but i really cant so "noo! dont do this!" being that i was in a situtation like this, so i sort of know what you are going through.
crushes are a cute thing to have, but sometimes all it is is a crush, i dont wanna sound all negative. but dont get your hopes up, just incase meeting up doesnt work out.
but you shouldnt hide your feelings, so i think you should tell him how you feel. im shy when it comes to expressing myself too.
so say whats in your heart. and also if he feels differently, tell him you still want to chat, and you dont want things to be "weird" between ya's.

hope things work out great for you. =)

Phew, for a second I thought this was one of those stupid and dangerous online romance questions. I'm glad you agree. At least yours isn't concerning one of those guys that live in Alaska and you have no idea about.

Let me just say...be ready for some disappointment. Even if it never comes, still you have to be ready for the worst. Don't let yourself get your hopes up.

Sounds like he's a great guy and you two would be great together, but just remember this is still someone you've never met. Someone that could already have a secret girlfriend, or someone else he has his eye on, or someone that's just looking for a little fun online, etc.

Please read this for my opinion on online relationsihps:

Crushes are great, but that's all they are sometimes. Just remember that even relationships where people have known each other for years and have known each other in person don't always work out, let alone a relationship with a guy you meet online.

Anyway, if you're still going to go for it, you should ask your friend's cousin to set up a meeting date face to face sometime.

Stay safe, don't get your hopes up, and good luck!
