In love with someone on the internet?
Good people at LoveForum, I come before you with a dillemma. I'd really appreciate some advice.
I’ve had feelings for a guy on the internet for some time now. We are part of an online community for a fringe interest and talk with other regulars on a chat site. I’ve never felt this way about anyone. I’ve had three boyfriends in my life, two of whom I thought I was in love with at the time. But what I felt for them is nothing compared to what I feel for this guy.
There are a couple of problems:
1. We live thousands of miles apart.
2. I am kind of shy of him. He regards me as an intelligent person and seems to like me but despite this I still feel inadequate.
3. As far as I know, he has no idea how I feel about him. I am scared of telling him how I feel as he may not reciprocate. Also, I do not wish to impose myself upon him.
So I guess right now I'm just really confused as to what I should do about this. I think about him all the time and it's affecting other aspects of my life, to the point where I'm neglecting college and friends. Does anyone have any ideas? :(
Thanks in advance.
