I don't know, I see red flags, but I am ultra careful about things like this. On the other hand I met my husband on a dating site.

I remember a friend in college met up with a guy she had been emailing with. He came from England to see her in New England. It turned out to be a disaster. There was no danger, but my friend ended up hiding with my roommate and me until he went home. We can look back and laugh because it wasn't dangerous.

What if you brought a friend with you and had him/her blend in with people(remember stay in crowded places don't let anyone take you to a secluded area, especially if you don't know him) Your friend can have her cell phone ready to dial an emergency line if anything should happen.

Anyway, that's just me being careful because I see red flags in your post.

This:
I don't know what he looks like as his computer is broken so we talk via text. However my phone can't receive pictures or send them

and this:
He says he loves me.... I don't love him, how can I when I have never seen him or met him.

bother me.

The first part makes me thing that he doesn't want you to know what he looks like for some reason, and the second part, to be honest, creeps me out a little. I know things like this happened in the 19th century, people could fall in love through their letters, but in this day and age, unfortunately, we have to be safe and watch for predators.

What ever yyou decide to do, make sure you take safety precautions.
Thanks for this!
