Thanks again for the replies.

I agree with s4ndm4n2006 ....I think there must be some chemistry, at least...for it to go on for so long and remain interesting for both parties. Although that doesn't mean the chemistry will be in person. It could fall flat, but we would never know that without meeting.

In response to divine1966....I'm sure there is a degree of truth to that, but the way you put it makes it sound like I have nothing at all to offer. If they cast that wide a net....don't you think they would get more than one bite? Are you implying I am the only person that has "bitten" out of the thousands they have supposedly written?

I think there is an element of mutual attraction.

I'm not flattering myself, to the contrary. I think disordered attracts disordered. Healthy attracts healthy. Water tends to seek its own level.

I doubt he is serious about the marriage idea, and even if he was, he is not marriage material. I think I am just a way to pass time. Free entertainment. And, I guess, so is he, to me.

So what is the problem? I don't know. As long as we are both content with a fantasy relationship which will never be anything more, I guess there is no problem? And if talking about marriage adds to the fantasy in a way, then, why not?
