I'm in love with this guy who lives on the other side of the world to where I am.
He's 8 years older than me..
I sometimes talk to him on a chatroom and FB
But he doesn't really pay attention to me though..
But I'm really in love with him!
He doesn't really know me, but I want to get to know him better
Is it wrong to be in love with him?
And also I'm scared about what my mom would think if I told her I love someone 8 years older than me.

In order to advise you in the best possible way, please tell us how old the two of you are. Also, knowing the countries you two are in might help too (since his culture might have restrictions on relationships).
How long have you known him?

I've never quite understood when people think they are in love with someone they've never actually met. Do you think you're actually really in love with him? Or more like you're in love with the idea of who you think he is? What do you think love is?

"I sometimes talk to him"
"But he doesn't really pay attention 2 me"
"He doesn't really know me"
"I'm really in love with him, sometimes talk to him on a chatroom and FB"
This isn't real.
I would stop the online dating.
If you can't date & tell your Mom, then.
You aren't old enough.
Plus this isn't dating, Just weird.
You can't be in love with text & FB.
Be aware of online snakes.
Try face to face from now on.
Real people.
I would tell your mom. See what she has to say.

Since we never got the OP's age, I'm going to judge by her post. I'd guess she's 14, maybe 15 or 16, but no older That makes the man she "loves", a pedophile. Worrisome that they "chat".
The thing is, he's not only too old for you if you're a child like your post suggests, but, by your own admission, he doesn't pay attention to you. Maybe there's hope for him yet. He realizes you're a child, he's an adult, and he wants nothing to do with you, which is wise.
You haven't met him, so you don't love him. You'll get over it.
