Question Posted Saturday December 12 2009, 10:32 pm
Okay, i have a huge problem. I met a guy online (i know how this sounds), and we absolutely hit it off. We talk everyday for hours at a time. We've sent eachother pictures and we are starting to really like eachother.We haven't met face to face, and we live 765 miles away. My problem is that im scared i might get too attached. It would be impossible for either of us to see eachother. Im fearing that if i say 'fall in love' with him that it might be pointless because we may never meet. I'm so scared, and im not sure where this is going. Please help!!!

a chance of this ever happening is very slim.
now the bad news,youv said yourself that theres not chance of you two ever meeting to why get attached?
i mean he maybe be a really nice guy from the words he says online because its always easier to lie to a computer screen than an actual girl standing infront of him.
why build yourself up for a let down?you dont live where he lives and you cant see what he does.i mean he maybe a player or has gfs etc you dont really know for a fact what hes like.
im saying all this to you because i dont want you getting hurt.i met a guy on the internet once and really fell for him but soon i found out about this other life he had behind the computer screen and it really hurt me.dont put yourself in a position that you know already how its going to turn out [ sia's advice column | Ask sia A Question ]

Not only does he live far away from you, you only communicate online, and for all you know, he could secretly be a creep. I have read stories in magazines where a girl gets to know someone online- they seem very sweet and charming, and the two hit it off. When they met in person, however, things were not so sweet- some girls get raped this way. I have no idea who this person is, but sorry to say, neither do you. You are better off ignoring him, or maybe letting him know that you are a) young, and b) too far away from him to establish anything. You have to move on, and soon enough, find someone who you actually know in person, and who you could really establish something with. You never know what kinds of creeps there are out there, who use the internet to lure young women into their sick worlds. You are better safe than sorry.
