Most long distance relationships don’t work (some do). It’s just to hard to accomplish.

Nowadays when it’s not that extremely hard to find local people to date, very few people would pursue someone from out of state especially if they have never met them.

Him telling you he loves you is red flag. He can’t possibly love you. He doesn’t even know you. Be careful, might be a catfish and or romance scammer who’ll start asking for money soon. Be safe
