Long(ish) Distance Relationship?

[688]

So I met someone in a game I play. Turns out that after about a month of talking to him and getting to know him, I'm beginning to like him. He's a couple of years older than I am and literally almost everything I like/love, he does, too. However, he lives 2.5hrs away from where I live, and we haven't actually met in person. It seems that with some things he has asked me, he is starting to like me, but how would I be able to know since I haven't actually met him in person? Also, if he does like me, and it turns out that we may get into a relationship, would it be able to continue even without the human interactions yet? We have used quite a few things to actually stay in contact with each other, such as Skype, Snapchat, FB, text in-game chat, etc.. so it's not like we don't talk with each other at all. So how can I tell if he actually is beginning to like me? and if we were to get into a relationship together, would it be able to continue? Thanks!

Dont do it.

Trust me.

Its not worth it. Im stuck with this guy I met on a stupid game and he has abused me to no end, blackmailed me, lied about what he looked like... Ive been there before, find someone in person who won't hurt you. The people online are DANGEROUS because you can never get away from them.

stay safe and feel free to email me if you have any questions vickyramirez_xx@yahoo.com

My suggestion would be to continue communicating with him at the pace you have been, since it seems to be going really well. Let your feelings develop and strengthen naturally. If he's spending a lot of time and effort talking to you and getting to know you, then chances are he's feeling the same way you are. I'd suggest letting those feelings grow a bit, and when you're both ready to take the next step, go ahead and arrange to meet in a public place somewhere, maybe a restaurant.

If you have a great friendship and great communication online, then it will be even more amazing in person. I met my boyfriend online about 4 years ago. We chatted every day, just as friends, for the first two years but we both knew we were developing feelings. He lives all the way in England, and I live in the US. He flew all the way out here to meet me and we had an amazing time. We've been together ever since.

It can be depressing maintaining a long-distance relationship sometimes, but it is definitely a realistic possibility. It's the best relationship I've ever been in, even though we don't get to see each other very often at all. But when we are together, we really appreciate our time together. Definitely don't give up if you think you may have serious feelings for this guy and already have a great friendship with him. It could lead to a really amazing relationship.
