Nicole, do you live in the US and he lives in Europe?
Ok, here are my varying views on this situation. We know very well, that is a very long distance to have a real relationship. Usually, those kinds of arrangements are for comfort. You text eachother back and forth talk about marriages, frustrations, ect. You guys are like therapy to eachother. How long can that last on that basis? Probably not too long. But it serves a purpose for the time being. But when you are communicating such a long distance, across continents, what is the R really based on? It's nice to be able to talk to someone, usually these kinds of relationships can't become anything, however, it's "safe" in many ways, because you know that, while still getting ot communicate with someone.
Now, I trust no one I meet online from another country. There was an attempt to catfish me. I saw right through it, luckily, and I played along for fun. He pretended to be from here, actually stole the pictures and name of some random guy online. Stole pictures with his kids from FB and sent them from me saying "look, we are out bowling" when I did my detective work, those were stolen. Then he went in for the kill asking for iTunes gift cards to he complete his work assignment in Brazil! His English would get worse and worse, and I knew I was getting scammed.
Unless you can meet these people, I wouldn't get too emotionally invested with someone online from another country.I hope you find someone who really piques your interest in person. It will happen.
