Is this guy a friend or a aqquaintance?

[Alex]

you can be friends with someone you have only ever spoken with over the internet. i have several friends who are like that, i dont think that he did that purely because he cared about you, anyone more intelligent than the guy asking for sex would definitely advise you to keep your distance from him. Maybe if you tried talking to him more and got closer to him then he would be a lot more open with you. But in the long run, why do you really need to brand your relationship this guy either an acquaintance or a friend, at the end the day you will both still know each other and will both still talk so.
