Of course I don't disagree in your situation it may be a good idea to try and take a step back for many reasons. I also know when you're "wrapped up" in another person that's almost impossible to do sometimes. You'll have to work hard and force yourself to if you think that's what you should do.

Now to address what I quoted. Don't for a second think that an online relationship isn't a real world one. In many ways, there are deeper conversations and more inner thoughts and feelings that are shared since there is nothing but conversation there, no physical activity, no real dates going on, just chat. In many ways, you can get to know certain parts of a person faster online because of the nature of chat. To me, online relationships can potentially draw a person in more intensely because you really get to hear their thoughts and feelings if you talk to this person a lot. I'm not about to say it's better or worse, but that it's different and this could be why you're falling for him so fast. You're left to your own imagination when it comes to all the other stuff and you can build a fantasy around this person's personality that you're learning about.

I don't think it's a bad thing if you're growing closer to him, but even if it works out, stepping back, taking a break is still a good thing at this point.

Thanks for this!
