I would agree with all the reality checks above. An online long distance relationship is just a fantasy. That's what you're afraid of losing. Fear of missing out. But what would you be missing? He could actually be married back home with a ton of kids and a mountain of debt and is just using you to escape his current situation. He could have a criminal background or all sorts if problems that have been hidden. I would stay FAR away from this guy even though you 'know' him, you don't because getting to know someone in person over a long time is hard enough before you live together. Trying to do it long distance is even harder to judge. I think you're in love with the thought of the whole thing. If you're not in therapy, I would begin with doing so to explore your own relationship status and look at guys less flaky and more closer to home. Good luck! [emoji111]️
