You met him through a forum. Then you wrote letters, get to know each other, You talked on line and saw each other on webcam. You liked what you learned and he's everything you wanted. He has his defects of course and he accepts them, hides nothing from you but would you believe him if he says "I love you", when you still have to meet him in person? How would you react if he says these words?

Well, I did meet a guy on the internet. He appeared to be everything a girl would desire in a guy,(minus the looks: he was so-so looking); but nice, gentle, seemingly honest and had many things in common with me. We met, and at first it was nice. He told me he loved me and wanted to get serious. Then things started to change. At first it was that he wasn't nice anymore. Then he started getting caught in lies. After that he became demanding. We only had a couple of "dates" in person. I distanced myself after the first date because something felt off. Then as time progressed I watched and waited to see how he was. I called him back after stopping contact with him for some time and told him that I at least wanted to be friends. I wanted to see how he reacted. I was very flattering at first and he was "prince charming" again. Then, I stopped being flattering and started asking some serious questions about what all had happened. He hung up! He called back some time later and I would not reply. I changed my number finally.
After thinking it through, I realized that he must have had an agenda. Whatever that was; I was very happy to have caught on before getting myself into something really bad. Today, I am much happier not being married. I am free to do as I please. I have a boyfriend and we are very happy. Whew!
Online stuff can get weird. Always be cautious. Trust your gut.

I think sometimes the chemistry between people can be different online and offline. I've never met anyone in real life who I originally met online, but I have talked to people I know in real life online and they don't always seem like the people I know. It's weird how people who are articulate in face-to-face conversation can struggle to get their thoughts across in an email or instant message. Sometimes, though, the chemistry is the same online or offline. I think it's probably best to meet someone in person before starting a romantic relationship no matter how many times someone says he or she loves you. You can't control your feelings so easily, unfortunately!
