Love hurts. Google the songs about love and you’ll come up with loads. My suggestion is to burn yourself six CDs of your favorite songs about love and play them all the time. You’re not alone. People become jubilant over meeting someone, and dashed over losing them. Over. And. Over. And. Over.
That said, I don’t think this guy has given you any reason to distrust him. But you need to be realistic. You don’t know him very well. You don’t know his family or his friends. See if he puts his money where his mouth is. In other words, you don’t have to trust him — you can accept where things are now, and watch and see if he actually does what he says he’s going to do. That’s how he’s going to earn or lose your respect. Relationships and deep love are built on people coming through for each other over and over in real life — not just under the moonlight, in bed, and at airports as they’re saying passionate goodbye or hello.
You have the basis for a real relationship. See if you can build the blocks that make it work, together. But don’t put your life on hold. He’s not here. Yet. It’s okay to anticipate his coming here, but not if you become paralyzed waiting for him. Stay focused on yourself, and allow him to be part of your life — but not all of your life.
