And "he" could be a "she." Or a teenager, or a kid. Unless you have seen this man live during a video call, bpforever1, you really are setting yourself up for disappointment.
I understand that it probably feels less stressful to you, to emotionally invest in him because it's not a real offline relationship. You can control what you write and you perceive that you have more control over what he thinks of you, because this is all online. But it's actually more dangerous.
He could be catfishing you for financial reasons. You just can't verify that anything he's told you is the actual truth. That is the downside of online communication. Unless you work with a detective agency or pay background websites to check his identity, you have no idea who he really is.
