ok i have a very complictaed problem.
so i met this emo guy at my friend's church. let's call him jim*. so jim and i hit it off from the start, he's sweet, funny, and is very understanding, but about a year ago his girlfriend anna* broke up with him and he cut his wrists for a while, because he changed himself for her and loved her alot. he told me his whole story and after like 4 months, he asked me out. i said yes.but we broke up about a week after b\c i hadnt seen him since we met! i only saw his myspace pictures and talked to him on im and the phone maybe twice. he mainly broke up with me b\c od "distance"- he lives 45 mins away and goes to another school. after that he went back out with anna and some other girl stacy* then jim was single throu the summer. we didnt talk at all really after the break up- at one point we had no contact for 5 months! then, recently, all of a sudden, he IMed me and i said that he and i should talk more. i started to fall for him again. my friends talked to him for me as well and he told them that he liked me. so we started IMing and messaging on myspace. we arent at the pint of calling eachother yet, but heres my worries;some times when i send him a message, all he does is read and never writes back. and his now ex-girl friends are (i know this sounds upsessive) # 1 and 2 on his myspace top 8. he sees them at school and at church and i never get to see him. they ALWAYS call him and it worries me that, i dk, he may like one of them more than me. i really want him to be my boyfriend, but im scared about the long-distance, never-seeing-eachother-thing. plase help! i really want him to open up to me about his true feelings. thank you for reading this and thank you in advance!
First off: Congrats on being my 200th question answered!
This sounds complicated, but it really has a simple solution. You need to not become so close to "Jim", because relationships over the internet never work. Relationships only work if they are in person; not via mypsace, txt message, or the phone. I understand that you may not want to hear me say this, but its only for the best. Unless you are going to see him in person, I suggest you don't entangle yourself in him.

I've been here before.
I went out with a guy I'd met that same
day thru the internet, never even met him.
I'm just going to say, it usually doesn't last long. Most people need physical attraction to keep things interesting. (Ie: kissing, hugging)As for a young person (at which I'm assuming you are) online, long-distance relationships can be difficult and rarely work.
If you're willing to make things work.
Give it time, talk to him more. Take things slow.
Start out as friends and work from there.
Relationshis are always easier when friendships
have already been formed.
Guys are complicated and take time also.
So waiting for him to open up may take a while.
But if he does, be sure you're both up for
the challenge and trust each other enough to
make things work.
