Meeting someone from omegle

I hardly ever go on Omegle. One night I was procrastinating though, so I decided to go on it and just have weird conversations with people. I ended up talking to this guy and added him on Skype because he was really nice and interesting. It's been 3 weeks since I "met " him and now he is telling me how he has feelings for me and wants to meet me. I know he's not a pervert or a pedophile, he's very open about his personal life, skypes with me in university lectures and shows me to his friends and shows me around his home. I find him attractive and I'm getting quite attached to him.
However, because I got to know him through Omegle and haven't physically met him I feel extremely wrong. If I had met him on the street I think it could be a possibility that he and I would have a long relationship together. Because of where we met however, I feel like I have to hide him from my family and friends and therefore there is no chance of us being together. What do I do? Is it normal to have feelings for someone off Omegle? Please elaborate in the comments if you have more detailed advice to give me. Thank you, all feedback is much appreciated.

    I do not encourage meeting people you've met online in real life. I do not care how well you feel like you know this person. Do you number that they highest rates of young ladies being raped and murdered were by people she thought she could trust? I wouldn't do it for the simple fact that it could be anyone behind the screen. You really just don't know this person. I know it may seem like it because you've been talking for so long, but you really don't know. Anyone can come off as completely charismatic if they want something, and I wouldn't take the risk. It's your choice if you want to do it, but I would heed. The internet is full of a vast majority of people and anyone can play a role or character. Just be careful is all my advice to you.

    • Thanks for your advice. I have been used over the Internet before and been very careful about trusting people on it now. I feel like this guy is legitimate though because he's so open about his life to me and tells me he finds it a bit strange as well.

    So, are you going to meet in real life or what?

    If so, never do it alone at first. Always have someone with you for protection just in case.

    I do think it's normal that you would be embarrassed to your friends and family about meeting someone online, because it does tend to have a sort of negative social stigma attached to it (which is stupid by the way). What if it works out though, and you guys have an awesome relationship together. Wouldn't that be worth it? Screw the haters, do what will make you happy. Just do it safely :)

    this story sounds very similar,,,my sis met someone from chatroulette and he was quite spunky, but long distance relationships never work in the end
