hi i have this problem i have been spking to this guy for just over 2 years. we have exchanged photos and he has a webcam so we know who we are talking to.

he has anxiety and depression issues and confides in me alot about his life. we talk every night on msn and he makes me soo happy but recently he said that he liked me more then a friend and we talked bout this and i said that i did'nt think nethng would work out because of our personal circumstances and he agreed and since then he has'nt talked much to me and it seems awkward too cos i know it took him alot of courage to tell me, i regret saying this cos i have realised i like him too, ive always known i had feelings for him but im just too scared to say nething because im scared i'll get hurt i've never had a boyfriend before but im scared cos ive seen close friends and family get hurt by there partners. we both know there something there but neither of us are brave enough to say nethng. he suggested meeting in the summer and i said maybe but i dont know wat i should do because i dont wantto ruin our friendship and also dont want my heart to get broken. plz help me???

lyd_foster agony auntWell you ca only go for it

if yo sit back andnot do anything about it then you or him might move on.

Also creating a realtionship over the internet can sometimes be quite false and desciving

you may feel that you are falling for this guy

but you havent acctaully met him. Its very easy to says that you like someone over the internet. i have done it loads of times

but if you realy want something to happen then go for it go and meet him with some friends and have a relationship that isnt depended on the internet

and you both could end up realy liking each other and going out!! =]

But if you go and meet him make sure you take some friends with you just incase

good luck!!

Andrew83 agony auntAll that either of you can do is meet up in the summer and see how it goes as "friends" and weather you both still feel the same, if so talk about it more but Make sure he understands your thoughts about havin your heartbroken. I'm sure you dont want to break his in anyway too, so if you do decide to meet, then meet as friends only.

That is if you decide to meet.

Not many chance's come along like this so really you both have to think of both good and bad sides to it and understand them. When you meet up, your together as friends only, express how you both feel (sooner or later you both have to step-up sometime in your lifes) but dont lead each other on, get to know each other in person and just go from there really and tell him you dont want to rip the friendship apart what you have now by rushin in to it.

Time is the key here so just take it as slow as you need to.

I hope this has in some way helped you with your question.

The best of luck to you :)
