To be dating a guy 3 years older than me that i've never met?

When he gets out of prison your are in for a workout, jussayin.

You're NOT Dating him! If you were dating, you would be with him... ya know in the REAL World! Before the internet this was called having a Pen Pal. You have a Pen Pal that you would like to date. Maybe someday you'll date him... but until you actually are with eachother in person... in reality (not online)... then you are just Pen Pals.

Grow UP!!

you sound retarded, i don't like your chances of being able to go to college

Don't trust the internet!!!

Ignore the 40 year olds who don't have a clue what they're talking about. It sounds like a good idea just be careful and make sure that you've actually seen him before hand (through video chat) and perhaps meet him with friends first just to be on the safe side.

Going to repost this here.

"I can't speak for others (though I suspect they'd feel similarly) but I think that what causes that immediate averse reaction in most people is concern with the abstraction of human relations - that the metaphysical nature of an online relationship is a rude falsification of "real" human interaction. If this is true, then it must follow that ALL human interaction is necessarily an abstraction, for the following reasons.

Someone rather primitively suggested below that you can't "really know" your partner in an internet relationship. But how can you "really know" anyone? When is this ever true of a relationship? What does that even mean? If what you're looking for is 100% familiarity with another human being, then you will be sorely disappointed with life, I promise you.

It is logically impossible to fully convey your internal thoughts and emotions because all communication can only reach a flawed approximation of those thoughts and emotions. Whether it's language, art, math, or facial expressions, all of these things are inevitably only a rough translation of what you mean and who you are. So if you're arguing that an internet relationship doesn't allow for full communication and is thus inadequate, it follows that ALL relationships don't allow for full communication and are thus inadequate. But this is a "fruitless truth" to me. That it is impossible to "know" someone 100% does not make 99% or 1% any less valid.

As for con artists? Not only are they incredibly rare horror stories, but a determined con artist will use any means to achieve what they want. People take advantage of each other in physical relationships too. Is that any reason to dismiss all relationships?"

Our distinction between the two is arbitrary, is what I'm saying.

That having been said, you're in high school, and high school relationships are the least real things in the universe.

Well it is normal but be carefull!!!

Not normal.

lol

Wow... If i could count how many times ive seen thus on Runescape, World of Warcraft, or Diablo... Jesus Christ -__- Not to sound pessimistic, but you should look for someone who lives in your general... Well state is a starter.. Best of luck.. :s
