he everything I've ever wanted, but is it too much to ask?

So about 2 weeks ago me and my friend were on a website called OMEGLE looking for a Youtube celebrity who surprises fans on there randomly. (Omegle is where you put in common interests and it randomly puts you on video chat with other people who put in the same interests). Well we were flipping through them really fast (afraid we would find freaks) but after an hour of searching with no results we were about to give up. well we landed on these two guys, and without noticing we were on video with them I started Complaining to my friend without paying attention to them. Then on of the guys said something in an accent I didn't recognize. I curiously, asked him where he was from and he told me he was Dutch. both of our friends kept telling us to "skip them" but something told me not to and I think something told him no to also. we ended up talking for 2 hours asking each other about our countries and learning new things and laughing. We both found out we both liked xbox so we added eachother on xbox live and played for hours... well not really playing we just sat there chatting with each other about everything and turned it into more of a phonecall than another game of Call of Duty black ops. So then we added eachother on facebook, and the moment I pressed accept on his friend request he messaged me. that was 3 weeks ago and we've talked EVERYDAY since. we even skype every weekend and one day while I was sick we ended up skyping for 3 and a half hours. See, he's never once called me pretty, or hot, or anything even close. he tells me all the time though he loves talking to me and only compliments my personality. we are always laughing when we talk, and we always have plenty of things to say. but when my friend asked him if he "liked me" he told her he couldn't say because Im in America and he's in The Netherlands. I just found it so weird because we both coincidentaly are the same age, and both get along incredibly well. but then the problem is we are both only 16 and have no way of meeting each other. but I think about him 24/7 he always makes me smile. I feel like Ive known him for years although its been only 3 weeks. Guys who are incredibly attractive hit on me and try to talk to me a lot and I have never even taken any kind of interests, and althought this guy isn't over-the-top good looking and doesn't have abs or anything like that, its like hes rocked my world and I have no way to understand it. I can't even comprehend why I care so much for someone so far away and someone Iv'e only known for a few weeks. everything from his smile to his laugh just triggers something inside of me that Iv'e never in my life ever thought I would feel. but hes 4000 miles away. I don't think we could form any kind of relationship right now, but there's no denying we have a strong connection that is really tearing me apart. any help????

There's not much you can do. You just have to make the decision if you want to date someone you'll never see in real life, or if you would prefer someone closer to you.

Well it seems to me that he realizes having a long distance relationship that crazy at the age of 16 isn't the best option at this time. I'm sure he does really like you but he doesn't want to get too attached in case you guys are never able to meet. Also, compliments on the personality are the best type. Looks are important but in they end they don't mean much. You have to be attracted to their personality for it to really work out. In order to really know if you like someone I think it is vital that you hang out in person. So all I can suggest for now is that you keep in touch but don't try to base your entire life around him.

It's always horrible when you have a strong connection with someone but there is a barrier in between the two of you. For you, that barrier is distance. Other barriers you may encounter are sexual orientation, age, etc. No matter what the barrier is, it's always difficult.
I'm not gonna lie, I've never been in a situation like yours before. I'm guessing you probably won't get the chance to meet him, or at least anytime soon. No doubt you two have a strong emotional connection, and you shouldn't let that drift away just because he lives across the world. You may even be soul mates, if you believe in that kind of stuff. So my advice for you is to keep in touch with him until one of you gets the opportunity to travel to meet up. Maybe in the future you'll make plans to live closer to him, or he'll move closer to you. But whatever you do, don't lose hope! You'll see him one day!
