The more I read, the more I get creeped out. He cannot be in love and feel that you are meant to be together without meeting or even seeing a photo of you. I am not talking about attraction, though that is nice, I am talking about having an image of the person when you correspond. Also for me sometimes I can tell from someone's face if he/she is kind or not (That has been questioned as a paranoia symptom).

Yes I suggest that if you ultimately intend to meet him that you are in public for the entire time.
