In it for the long haul? Would love to hear your thoughts.?

Question

Ok, I will just give you the details and then want to know what your opinions are.

* Met a guy online, have been talking for about 5 months, 'together' for 2 months
* I'm a virgin, he isn't
* We want to meet so badly but I told him I need to wait until the end of next year (when I have finished school) We'll be about 18 when we meet.
* He's been hurt badly in the past, been cheated on but he has never cheated
* He's willing to wait a year for me, and more if I needed
* He respects me, and really loves me.
* I love him with all my heart and he is the first person I have truly loved.
* My family knows of him and his of me.
* He has suggested moving here in a few years once he has worked and saved enough money.

So what do you all think? Personally, I can see us being together for a long time. I mean, if we haven't met and can feel so strongly for one another, it can only get better on meeting. Just interested to hear some of your thoughts/opinions? =)

Answer 1

Hard to tell. You're both young and it could just be puppy love, loving someone only because you need someone, anyone to love. You don't really know someones personality by talking to them over the phone or online too. You have to actually hang out with them and see how they act in person to know what's up with them.

I'd personally say you're moving too fast. Why would you be 'together' with someone when you've never spent a minute with this person? Why not stay just friends? And when you two finally meet each other see, see what happens.

Until then, see what happens but it should be ok for BOTH of you to meet and see other people in real life, not over the internet. Hope everything works out for you with what you decide to do, but you have to remember you're still young and there are a lot of fish in the sea. Good luck.

Answer 2

i dont think what you're feeling online always automatically transfers over in real life. meeting someone in real life for the first time can be awkward too, even if youve talked to that person for a while, youre still meeting a stranger so to speak. he could be telling you what you want to hear, or you could be only hearing what you want. its easy to romanticize an online relationship, and the person youre talking to says all these romantic things and they are just perfect. but in real life you dont get to delete or edit what you say or how you act, but you can in an im.

Answer 3

i think of whomever wins the election in 2008 will exchange the process our troops and with any luck start up bringing them domicile. I initially understood the war in Iraq notwithstanding that is gotten out of hand. i might say 4-5 years.

Answer 4

You don't really know someone until you've spent real time with him. He could be anyone in real life, you don't know the truth.

Answer 5

You need to slow down...
You have never met him, but you are truly in love?
