So I've been talking to a guy online for 7 years now...?

Question

I had a "cyber thing" for him in the early year, but soon drifted out into the real world and got married. I lost touch with the guy for a couple of years and as my marriage began to all apart, I found him on messenger one night and what followed was 2 years of more talking than ever and more feelings than ever. I never told him how I felt, though I was sure he knew and I thought and (hoped) he felt the same for me. It was almost a year ago that we finally admitted our feelings for each other at the urging of a mutual friend. I was afraid that this would ruin our friendship and it has to some extent in that we don't talk nearly as much as we used to, etc. I love this man as much as I can love someone I've never seen in the flesh, and I've concentrated so much time and energy on thinking of a way to be with him. I am scared to meet him (fear of rejection) and at the same time I feel it's something I really need to do or I might regret it. Am I fooling myself or should I go thru with it?

Answer 1

SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT IT SOUND LIKE YOU REALLY
NEED TO MOVE ON, IT BEEN 7 YEARS, AND YOU HAVE
NEVER MET, BUT YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH HIM. INSTEAD
OF PUTTING SO MUCH ENERY WITH SOMEONE THAT
YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN, PUT THAT IN SOMEONE THAT
FACE TO FACE.

Answer 2

u should go threw with it but let him know if he dont feel the same that u would like to stay friends. if he is a nice guy he will take your feeling in consideration. and still be friends and talk to u if he dont feel the same way. but after 7 years hes got to feel something there i hope u the best good luck

Answer 3

If you've had him hooked for seven years with the real you (online pics and info) then you have nothing to worry about. Meet him, I guarantee he's just as nervous as you are.

Answer 4

meet him in person you have nothing to lose but everything to gain. if he is a true friend he will not reject you unless he is involved himself or married
