It could be crazy, it could'nt be. He could be giving you false pictures and he could be a she...The internet is not very trust worthy....But go with your gut feeling I guess

U trust an british guy 2 tell u the truth?! Lol! Im joking!
Well,what can I say? R u in love with this man? (even though you've never met) r either of u in love with ur partners?
This is a tricky one cos like mommabear sed,the internet isnt very trustworthy.U obviously like this guy but whats the chances that you'll ever meet him? I mean,the uk & the usa r like a million miles apart!! Wud u b prepared 2 loose ur r/ship 2 come all the way here & maybe b let down? But u shud go with ur instincts I guess.Do u plan 2 ever meet this guy?
Good luck,
liz

No, I dont think that you are crazy, I went through the very same thing, but eventually, I found out I was totally in love with the man that I was with. My husband. I was going through alot at the time, thought he didn't love me anymore etc. I dont know why I thought this, but no, I dont think you are a bit crazy! Good luck to you, maybe you are not "inlove" with your bfriend, and you are inlove with this guy, who knows. But remember you will never know what you have till its gone, im glad I didn't wait that long, I almost lost the man whom I was inlove with, but didn't see it till it was almost too late.

Trust me sweetie! Ur not crazy!! But please listen to your heart. And be careful. If u have any douhts, really look into things. It sounds like a real serious thing considering u already have a b/f. Is this internet guy worth everything?? Well I am pregnant and the father and I have been together for like 3 and a half years. And we met on the net lol. Were still 2gether and happy. I thought I was crazy too! We didn't even exchange pics, we described ourselves but loved each other anyway we didnt need any pics thank god lol hes hot though lol and we werent even lookin for love we happen to be chatting in a chat room and started to argue about something and realized we had somethin in common (fighting w/peeps) lol and things went from there. But I just did what my heart said and im so glad I made that choice. He is my best friend. I just havent told anyone how we met except for a few close friends. My family has no clue lol. They think we knew each other back from high school. I just wanna give them time to really get to know him and not look at him like a weirdo. So go with ur gut and keep up posted. Good luck to ya. ~ erica.

Hi there hay,

just wanted to share my experience with you. I met my husband on the internet, I wasn't in a relationship at the time and nor was he, but even so we both lived on different sides of the country. (australia). We met in a chat room on yahoo about 4 and a half years ago, we chatted online for about 3 years, sent each other pics, but we also insisted on using a cam while we talked. We then decided we should meet, so he flew over to me and stayed for 2 weeks. We knew everything was as perfect as it seemed online, so we went for it and he moved here to live with me. We got married, and we very much in love. A lovier gentlemen you will never meet. He is the man of my dreams. We are now 28 weeks pregnant with our first son, and preparing to try for our second child after this one is born. So it is possible to find your partner online. I really believe using a cam is essential if you are going to chat online with a potential partner, so you can see who you are really talking to. It is too easy to send pics of someone else, and believe me soooooo many people on the internet actually do that. I have talked to a lot of people online, and without any exaggeration, there are more idiots and dishonest people online, than honest ones who are truly looking for love. I think the net is a great place to meet someone special, as physical contact is not there to blind your judgement. At the same time, you still need to be very careful before taking the plunge and deciding to go further. If you really end up wanting to be with this guy, nothing in the world will stop you. And I mean nothing ! If you love each other beyond words, you will be together. Just be very very careful, and make sure you've done your homework before you take any serious steps.

Good luck.

Yes dear it can happen, but be soooo careful! There are a whole lot of crazies out there. And if you like this guy at all break up with your boyfriend. It is not fair that you are leading him on while falling for this other guy, and this guy should also break up with his girlfriend. Good luck to ya and be careful!

I too can attest to the fact that love online is possible, but worth much investigation. I met my fiancee online a year before we actually met face to face. Things have not been easy, as the usual interactions between courting couples was lost when we chose to type. However, we have made extra care to get to know one another as much as possible, and we are most devoted. But it is a tricky process. If you have a credit card, here is the best 8.95 you can spend.... Find out his full name, and where he was born, and his most recent address, and buy a full history report on him. It will tell you anything regarding criminal records, driving records, credit problems, etc. It is very inexpensive, and will really show you a lot about what kind of person you are looking forward to. I found out that my guy had reneged on his student loans years ago. However, luckily, that was the worst of his problems, so it was really no great surprise. But its worth paying the little money to really get a full background check on anyone you are thinking of spending more than typing time with. Just prepare yourself, and then follow your heart. Sometimes common sense is more lucid than your emotions. Good luck. It can work.

The above advice is excellent, but I do have to add one thing. Although these background checks will show past acts that you may not agree with, just remember that not everyone is born a criminal. What I mean is, just because he has not done anything in the past does not mean that he wont. And a lot of victims do not report abuse or rape. Most people do not ever report it, so he could still be a horrible person. So just be careful.
