Online, long distance relationship

[Penelope299]

Chap I've known mostly online for 15 years has been messaging me for 3 weeks and we have become intimate, albeit online. We have met as friends twice but something has changed in our relationship and it has become very intimate.

We chat every day, laugh a lot and have regular phone calls. However, this weekend him and his son have gone to his sister's and he said he won't be able to message much. I said its fine, enjoy his time, etc. But I have barely heard from him. He is not English. I have all sorts of thoughts going round my head. Thing is, i pulled away once because of the long distance but he was keen and phoned me to talk things through. Someone else's advuce would really help right now.

Maybe he and his son are spending quality time with the sister? Or maybe its a WiFi thing, I know if I'm running low on data and there's no WiFi available I message people less. From what you've said he seems to care about you and doesn't sound like he's given any reason to be suspicious of the decrease in messages for a couple of days.

Thanks for reply. He has messaged a couple of times but in my head, he could be with someone but not want to tell me?

I think you need to come to terms with the fact that he 'could' be a whole lot of things. You dont really know him at all, you've only met him twice in 15 years. Enjoy your online relationship, but keep it online as much as possible. Don't turn down real life dates or invitations just to sit in front of your laptop.

Yes, i agree with you :)

Have you ever physically met this person? Online isn't a real relationship.
