Should I Pursue This?

    Ok, so here's the thing. I am not a fan of long distance relationships, or internet relationships. and I didn't want to do something like that.. until I met this guy.

    About four years ago, I casually started talking to these two girls online. Eventually, they introduced me to this new website that one of them had built, and I join the forums. That was three years ago now. It's a small community, so I kind of know certain people on there.
    Now the two girls I talk to meet up with a guy from the forum quite often, and go gigs, and things like that. It's because of this, I don't have any reservations about who it is. If they've been posting pictures of them all going out together, they're either genuine, or this is a very big set up (which, somehow I think is unlikely).

    So, to the point. I've recently started talking to this guy, and I really like him. We have so much in common, and it's easy to talk to him. Yesterday we talked ten hours straight. The problem is, I don't know whether to do anything about it. Firstly, it's an hour and a half on the train to get there. I don't know about car. That would end up being expensive in the long run. And my friends are so critical about these kind of things. Surely they wouldn't approve. And I don't know how I'd cope having a part time relationship. I've no plans for us to start dating, or anything like that, until I meet him, just to be sure. But if I'm right on this, I think it would be good. Arrrghh! What do you think?

    I think you should ignore everyone else; And do what you want. There's no point in letting other people be in control of your life.x

    BANGBANG is totally right. If it feels right, go for it. If it doesn't feel right to you... Then, hold back.

    Your friends don't have anything to do with what goes on between this guy and you.

    I've been in the same situation -- internet friendship turning into something more, ten hour talks, etc. Only he was just a 15 minute drive away, for me.

    I just hope it works out for the best.

    First of all, make sure that if you go meet him, do so accompanied... don't go alone!
    Just in case this is a fraud, make certian to have one or two friends with you, at the very least, preferably more, and meet in a public place.

    Apart from the safety warnings, all I can say is, do what you feel is right, and try not to get your heart broken in the process.

    Well..I have a boyfriend whom is online. Sure it's realy hard at times but I love him dearly and I don't mind to much.

    I think you should go with what feels right to you. Don't worry about the people who are saying it might not be right. Just do what feels right...
