I'm sure this guy means well, but honestly at your age, i think you should step away from the computer and meet some real people. Hang out with friends, find hobbies you are interested in and meet people that way, or connect with people in school. There is someone out there for you.

I met someone online years and years ago when I was your age, and it was really unsafe, really gross, he looked nothing like I thought he did... and things went too far. I was safe but trust me, I truly wish I could erase it from my memory. And that was 15 years ago! Things are much more dangerous these days.

While everyone promotes online dating these days, it can be really dangerous and let's face it, you NEVER KNOW who is on the other side of the computer. There may be a reason that he doesn't want to show his face, and that may be because he's not who he says he is, or is not the age he says he is, who knows. But in general, that seems like a bad sign, especially if you've been talking to him for several years now.

Of course there is little way to know what the truth about this person is, but there are far other people in this world who you can interact with in person, who will show their face, and may take a lot of interest in you in real time with nothing to hide behind.

Whatever you chose to do, be careful. Good luck!
