Online relationships?
I met a guy online about three years ago. I wasn't really intending to meet a guy but you know, things happen. I was in a good mood so I gave him my screenname. Normally, I'd talk to him a couple times before eventually we just didn't talk anymore. That didn't happen with him.
What happened was we continued to talk and after awhile he said he loved me... which freaked me out a bit. Fast forward some months and I've fallen in love with him too.
The thing is, there's this nagging in the back of my head that says I should not love a guy I've never even met, because it's not safe or whatever. I don't know. It's just that nagging.
I guess what I'm asking for is general advice because I'm so conflicted right now.
If it helps any, I'm 17 (almost 18) and in the USA. He's 21 (almost 22) and lives in the UAE.

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
You are not in love with him, You are in love with the attention he is giving you. It is impossible to fall in love with someone over the internet, You have never seen this person and you've never met this person.
1, Anyone can be convincing over the internet, People lie ALL the time. I'm sure if I tried hard enough I could be quite a catch too.
2, Online is the WORST way to meet someone, If you are looking for a real relationship then I suggest you find someone in person. The internet is nothing but a fantasy land
The nagging thing in the back of your head is likely your gut telling you something. What it all comes down too is you do not know this person, You only know what he wants you to know and what he tells you. Do you even know if anything he tells you is true? No.
If you say you are in "love" with this guy you met over the internet then I'm going to have to say.....You trust too easily. Seriously, Meet someone in your local area that you know. Not some random guy that could end up being anyone.

You may think you know this guy but you don't know him at all. You don't if you'll like or love the person when you meet him? He could be some creepy, old man about torape you. Please, be careful. I would not tell him any more personal information till you have met him and when you do meet him have someone with you that can pretect you if something goes wrong. You honestly don't know anythng about him. Just be careful! I knew a girl once who chatted with this man a lot then decided to go meet him and they planned to meet somewhere and they were both alone (she was like 15) and he killed her. Someone I knew!!! Just stay safe.
