So I met this guy through my friend... only catch, I met him through Facebook as well. He's currently at school across the country, so our relationship has been online. We've been "dating" online for almost two months now. At first it was mainly Facebook messages, and phone calls. But we exchange handwritten letters every week, as well. And recently, we've been video chatting every night for at least 2 hours. There's no doubt in my mind that we will meet in person when we both go home for break. We've come to learn so much about each other, and feel so much for each other. We've both admitted that, at times, we forget that we met online, and feel like we've been an item forever. Last night, we were on video chat, and he said "I love you." I wanted to say it back, but I feel like I want to wait until we've met in person. We both kind of got awkward and he was immediantely like "oh my god that slipped out...". I don't know what that means. Or how I should feel about it. All I know is it made me extremely happy and quite terrified at the same time. Is it smarter to wait until we've met in person to express my feelings back to him, or should I just express how I feel to him now? I've wanted to say those three little words to him so many times, but I feel like it might just not be the right time, when I remind myself that this has been an online relationship... what do you all think?/
