A few days ago, an (online) friend of mine expressed feelings of love for me; at the time, I told my friend that I needed more time before I could see if I felt any sort of connection between us.
Now, when we chat together, I get that feeling I normally get in my chest when I'm thinking of a crush. Throw the confetti, right?
But I'm afraid that these feelings of mine aren't genuine, that I'm simply falling in love with the idea of it all. I've never dated anyone before (I'm almost 18, BTW), and it isn't everyday someone says they love you--in *that* way--but it isn't the *first* time either, and I haven't felt quite like this at that time. Right now, I'm feeling really conflicted with myself. :-\
So, am I falling in love, or just with the idea of being in love? Is it real, or is it the product of suggestion? Is it possible for me to tell at any rate? And should it make much of a difference? What should I do? (Also, have you ever been in a similar situation? If so, what did you do?)

I've heard this before from a number of people. I think you can develop a crush for someone online and the feelings are real, no doubt, but it's not "love" in the conventional sense. In the end, you'd have to meet the other person to see whether the picture and the idea you have in your head is in fact what it is in real life. That's sort of the acid test. If there's a real chance that that will never happen, then you need to do a reality check.
