Since you are an adult nothing any of us advise you to do is required. All we can do is read what you write and post a response to it.

You write that you don’t want to pursue real life friendships because they’re too much of a bother for you. Yet you completely trust someone you’ve never met in real life, who you’ve only been writing back-and-forth with online.

You haven’t even written if you’ve seen what this man even looks like or what he sounds like. If all you have are words on a screen, from him, then you really are playing with fire. Have you actually had a video call with him? Because he can send you pictures from Google image and you’d have no clue if those were really him or not. I think you’re playing with fire because you are lonely.

There are episodes of Dr. Phil of this exact situation where Women got emotionally groomed by so-called men online, who happened to live in a poor Third World country and whose only motive was to steal that white woman’s money which they successfully did.

You are knowingly participating in this shared fantasy. This is the risk with online communication. It’s easy to get swept up in the fantasy of who you think someone is online because of the way they write. But that’s not reality. Reality only exists off-line.
