Online Dating - Met a great guy

Hello everyone

I've been online dating for about a year now, met 6 guys that have either been creepy or not my type.

I have finally met a fantastic guy who is everything I want. We are so similar and want the same things in life, that I can't believe my luck.

The thing is, he works away. Monday to Friday.
He texts me everyday all day. We've only met once. I know he's only interested in me as he hasn't been online on the dating site since he's met me. We've also arranged to do certain stuff in the future. I know he really likes me as he's texting me all day, first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Always complimenting me etc etc. He's booking places that I like to go etc in the future.

However, I feel really sad. I want a face to face relationship. Not a texting one. We can't meet every weekend as he has family commitments. But this texting relationship is driving me crazy.

But I don't want to let him go as I finally met someone who I click with, after years of trying. He feels the same.
He'll eventually move back but not for a few months.

I don't know what to do. Just go with the flow or is it not worth it?

Genuine question, not to sound negative. Are you sure he isn't married?

Sparkly OP has already answered that

Realised that after I posted Blush I hope he isn't though.

Totally not seeing a problem here, unless you want more. I met a guy online dating, and, because we lived in different towns we texted through the week (several times a day, every single day), had conversations via messenger most evenings and we met up only at weekends - not every weekend, but most - for four years.

He's not my boyfriend any more though, he's my husband. Worked perfectly for us.

The problem here is that, whatever time they have been "together", they have only met once, and only text daily. Not even phone or talk via messenger.

Woah! Back up the bus a bit there OP.

You've met him once. ONCE!

You are gettng way to far ahead of yourself - buildingthe relationship in your mind before you've even got to know him. Have you chosen the colour of the bridesmaids dresses yet? Wink

Change down a gear. See how it develops and calm the fuck down!
