I hope you don't mind, but I need to ask some questions. You DON'T have to answer any of them if you don't want to, but just answering them for yourself might help you sort things out a bit.

1. Have you met him in person?

2. Have you spoken to him over the phone?

3. Sorry to ask, but how old are you? If you're under the age of consent in your state, or his, your options are limited. They're even MORE limited if he's OVER the age of consent in either state. Even if you don't get intimate, when a minor travels over state lines to be with someone else, Federal law is potentially involved.

4. What do you want from him? To be his girlfriend? To marry him? To date him?

5. Would you move to his state to be with him, or would he move to your state to be with you? That is, assuming you're old enough?

6. If neither of you can move right now, are you willing to carry on a long-distance relationship with him? That can be tough. When I met my wife, she lived about 80 miles away from me. We drove back and forth to visit each other a lot, and eventually, of course, we got married. Well, we moved in together and THEN got married. :D

7. I have to wonder why your parents didn't like him. Was it that they were just afraid of ANY online relationship for you (a lot of older people are scared of the net), or did they have some more substantial reason to be worried?

I'm sorry to have so many questions to start, but there are too many unknowns for me to be able to give you more detailed advice. I'll really understand if you don't want to answer any or all of these questions, but maybe you should print them out and write down the answers just for yourself. That might help you to think about things.

But I'm here if you want to talk about this some more.
