[color=#BF00B][/color]So i met this guy online about 2 years ago. Hes 18 and im 22. Since this is a online relationship, it depends a lot on the computer , id like him to talk to me everyday , but hes a bit too interested in this online game he’s playing.Am i asking too much , for him to talk to me everyday? He spends many hours on the game , so he cant be busy.. Maybe he doesnt like me as much , there fore he can go without talking to me for days? or am i asking too much as he has his right to do whatever he wants. But everytime i bring it up , or the slightest hint of a breakup , he talks to me for ages trying to reassure his love for me .He plans to meet me next year as hes 8 hours away via plane. What should i do? Am i the one being too petty, or hes not interested? I had never had a online relationship, all my exes talk to me every single day, as they all want to do it.

Are you crazy?? 😯 You’re a grown woman dating [b]a teenager[/b] — for two years now — who lives 8 hours away — BY PLANE!! In fact you started dating him when he was 16 years old, and you were a legal adult. You need to get a life.

Not only are you asking for too much — of COURSE a teenage boy would rather play video games than chat with you daily when you’re 22 years old and the next time he’s going to see you is a year from now — you’re asking for trouble.

Why not meet someone online who actually lives in your area code? In fact, why not meet someone online who you can actually date a couple of times a month — or even (gasp!) a week! Don’t you want a real relationship as opposed to a teenage fantasy relationship?

Wake up now, and start looking for a boyfriend who is your age or older and is interested in a real relationship with you. You’ll be a lot healthier and happier. I promise.

Okay, i guess i didnt mentioned that i knew him as a friend for 2 years and only started dating january this year. I met him online through university forums, and we just started chatting to each other frequently.I didnt plan to bring the relationship a step further. When i knew him i had a boyfriend of 4 years whom is studying to be a dentist, my feelings for this guy is so strong that i broke up with my bf. This online guy makes me feel way differantly, and hes saving to come early next year. I do realise the huge age gap , thank you very much for bringing it up. I have a lot of guys going after me in uni , and i had many boyfriends, but this guy is kind of special , and in ways, he can be more matured then my 25 year old ex-boyfriend.i just wanted to know the answers to what i asked, and if im doing the right thing, as sometimes, love can blind you.But, thanks for the advice, id take it into serious consideration.

I hope you find a healthy relationship, but I’d advise you to date men who are in their 20s or older and who don’t have to save up for a year to meet with you. You can do better! 🙂
