It's just too much...

My advice...meet someone in person and have a 3-D date or two. I guess I don't fully understand having a relationship with someone you have never met so I am not sure I have any further advice on the subject.

May I ask...what is the appeal of having a relationship with someone you have never actually met? How can you determine if you really like him or not?...I need to see someone's eyes myself and when I talk to someone I look directly in their eyes almost nonstop...I would be at a complete loss wthout being able to do that...and I like to touch and be touched as well. Do you get a satisfaction from this relationship at all?

We / You are old school, East of Eden, we have trouble comprehending a relationship that is only virtual. But since my relationship with Marsh started as a virtual relationship, I guess I know where it stems from. A lot of people who go onto the Internet to start relationships are probably quite shy, or not in a situation where they can be out and open about what they are looking for. Therefore, I'm sure our emotional side would like to believe that we have a boyfriend when we've been dating online through conversations.
I'm afraid, Mr Pancake, your Internet boyfriend may be less than what you think (may be an older man, may be a woman, may not be who he purports to be). If he doesn't get that you don't enjoy sex talk, he's just trying to use you as a sexcapade, someone he would probably never want to meet in real life.

If you two were to arrange a 3-D (real life) meeting, I'm sure you might eventually work things out, but in this case, I believe you are being taken advantage of, and your alledged boyfriend is not very considerate of your feelings in the matter... Not good in my book. I'd second East of Eden's idea of trying to make this a real relationship by meeting him, if he is not a troll. People say things behind a screen that they would never dare say in a regular conversation. It is that dimension of virtual relationships that you have to take into account. I'm not saying it will all be lies, but some things are just a little too far-fetched sometimes.
