HI, this is really embarrassing, but i feel this is what i can only turn too, i met this guy...on the internet... yes it sounds wrong, but we never had cyber...and i am totally glad we didnt, because that is just wrong...i saw his pick he didnt see mine, but he said he respected that i was safe, and i think he is telling me the truth that he is 16 no... i KNOW it....he acts like it and everything...we tell each other secrets and he is a guy and even told me his greatest fear, i feel like i can talk to him about anything and he is so sweet, i even made plans about me going to see him when i get older and if he was lying to me and he is reallyl ike and old perve, i would know because i would see him , and get right back on that plane if he was a perve. though my heart lights up when he goes online i tell him i think about him and he is like i hope that doesnt get in the way of your school work and you know, not many guys care about that but i think it is the sweetest thing in the world that he does, he even told me all these sweet things like he is starting to fall in love with me and he hasnt even seen my pic and he said he cares about me a lot and i do too.. i feel like i am falling in love a lot. i think about him more than any other guy EVER. i have dreams about him and he tells me his dreams about me. i feel this is not the right way to carry on a relationship though, on the internet, doesnt that seem a little......weird? unorganized? not true love? i dont know and i need some MAJOR help.....and please none of this 'follow your heart' because that doesnt help much at all.

and here is the big, long, boring BUT..
"Falling in love" seems a little far fetched, don't you think? It's nice you have someone to share long conversations and feelings with, but that's where it should end. You may become too attached and get hurt later on.
This is the internet, darling! and it's SO easy to be fooled. You said you're sure he's a boy etc, but HOW sure are you?
I could pretend to be a 13 year old lad from Hollywood and noone would know I was lying.
Take things slow. Don't stop talking to him.. there's nothing wrong with building up a strong friendship. But let that be it.
Sooner or later, you will find someone near you, who you know in real life. :)
and never give out your personal information until you are ABSOLUTELY sure, have permission and TRUST this person 100%
I hope things work out well for you two.
Best of luck!! :) [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
