Denise32 agony auntI would advise you not to get your hopes up and build up a fantasy of what it might be like to have a future with this man!

You met him less than a month ago, and though you have talked on Skype, you have not met in person. Who knows if you ever WILL meet face to face? Remember, YOU are living in the Philippines; HE'S stationed in Japan and will return to the United States in two months.

A relationship needs lots of time together in person, over the course of at least a year to grow and develop. What are the prospects that you and he could have that kind of time together? Slim to none, I'd guess, even assuming you might have the air fare to travel to Japan to spend a few days with him.

No, I'm sorry but you appear to be getting your hopes up, and are afraid of "loosing" (you mean LOSING) him.

Just enjoy your daily chats and Skype and regard him as no more than a friend.

KittieS agony auntAgree with the other ladies, right now it's all sweet words and that can make us ladies weak at the knees - but it's not a relationship not yet anyway, you may feel totally different when you see him.

I'd also suggest cooling things down, but you should also look to date other men maybe?? I'm not suggesting anything sexual, but coffee or drinks don't pin your hopes on just an Internet based relationship I would hate for you to get hurt. Sometimes (and I'm not saying thesis the case) men say things like you describe too slowly but gently put us down, nice men don't want to hurt our feelings Abd he does sound like a nice man - but he may just be looking for female companionship so please keep this in your mind.

You seem like a nice lady, and I truly hope it works out for you - but think about what your future really would be like with this man, with him being in the forces (being a forces lady is sometimes a very lonely place to be) decide is this really the life for you. Take things slowly and let him come to you

I wish you all the best x

I think you are rushing things. For now just be friends, see what happens. I don't think you're pushing him away necessarily. It's just that there are a lot of obsticles to your relationship. Seperate nationalities is hard enough, having someone in the armed forced is hard enough. Together both are very difficult!

After only two weeks, it is good advice to go slow and just see what happens from there, don't push for a relationship now.

So_Very_Confused agony auntAunt Honesty is right... 2 weeks ago is NOTHING and you met online.. you are probably not more than a lovely young lady to chat with...

do not invest your hopes dreams or life plans with this man yet... give it way more time.

right now be casual and have fun... no long term plans.

aunt honesty agony aunt26th of September? That was only two weeks ago! Yes you are moving way to fast. This guy is in the navy and off course he is probably seeking company but if I am honest with you I don't see it ever being more than company for him while he is away. I might be wrong and maybe you have found love. But yes you do need to slow down before you get yourself hurt. Talking over the internet is all good but it will be different when you are face to face with each other. Take things slowly before you do scare him off completely. Just get to know him and see how it goes, but please don't expect to much!
