I recently started talking to a guy on a forum very similar to this. He is a victim of abuse and seemed pretty lonely so i offered him someone to talk to. I was never encouraging or flirtatious or anything- he didn't even know my real name. However, he hasn't been shown kindness by many people and he has become very dependant on me. He says he loves me. I am sure this is all just part of transference and I tried to discourage it and tell him it wasn't true but he seems to be just keener. He isn't being cruel to me or anything but i feel very pressured to say it back because he says he will be empty otherwise. advice?
