to get right to the point. I met a guy on myspace 3 years ago. For nearly 2 years consistently we have chatted over web camera. He lives in california, i live in alberta so the distance is bad. We've never actually met because he can never get time off work and i can't go because of college. I'm graduating this fall and i want to meet him. It will cost me all the money i've saved up this entire year.
Sometimes i fantasize that we will have a real, normal relationship but we've never talked about this because he never brings it up and i'm unsure if it is premature talk although we are involved in a sexual way now.
So my question is, do you think that i've fallen into an illusion here? Or could this be a great thing for my future? Is it premature for us to talk about haveing a relationship? This situation is hard for me to calculate because my family and friends give me a biased opinion, they just want me to be safe and realistic but i want to take a risk.
