A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

He's a very sweet guy. He has sent me videos, pictures, poems, and songs expressing his love and has posted/let known how he feels for me to his friends. He has also said all these beautiful things that make me fall in love with him all over again. He claims that I'm his girlfriend, but I'd like to know that if someone you're dating online regarded as a boyfriend?

I'm kind of doubting you really love him since you have to ask others to know the answer... But yeah I don't know. I've been in an online relationship for 10 months already and we love each other. I know it's real because I can feel it. We try to webcam/skype at least every week or more than once a week. He is really busy now though, because of university and his job. Do you have enough time for him? Does he have enough time for you? Can you deal with the distance and not being able to kiss or hug or anything of the sort? It's very hard actually, but a strong mentality and will can be really helpful. People who say online dating doesn't work just didn't want to make it work. We've been together for more than 10 months and plan to make it last for a lot longer. I know he is the right guy for me, so if you feel the same then I'd say go for it. A boyfriend is a boyfriend, no matter if it's online or not. Just listen to your heart. If it goes faster when he tells you he loves you then that's a sign. I know mine does. Hope this sorta helps.. :D

You cannot love someone you have never met in person. I've been in your situation and you just can't live well with someone you have never met. He's just a pen pal and nothing more. Don't take him seriously, it is VERY easy to be nice talking from a computer screen on MSN or Facebook. Find a real guy, he is not your boyfriend

SaphiraGold16 agony auntIt depends, do you trust or should the question be CAN you trust him? how much distance is he from you? is it possible you'll meet? can you see yourself being with him? there's loads of questions you need to ask yourself... boyfriends online don't work seriously its from personal experience.
