The "L" word o_o?

Firstly,have you ever seen the show Catfish? So be careful with that.

But to answer your question, what issue do you have exactly? So you don't want to say it back to him. Do you love him? Do you mean it if you said i love you? If you don't feel it, then don't say it. Yes, it's nice that he loves you and is telling you but that doesn't mean you you have to feel the same.

Life is scary in that way that you are afraid that a good thing will fall apart so you are almost afraid to enjoy it, to embrace. I understand but you can't live that way because then you will always hold back or not fully live for that fear. It would control you if you let it. Don't. Just let go. Be smart. But let go.

Sounds like me. I was 18, I was a virgin, I hadn't been kissed, and I had emotional scars.

I also did test the boundaries and see how much crazy people would accept from me.

If it falls apart, there's always me to talk to :P

Anyways, I do understand your concerns. I was in a situation like that when I was 18. I couldn't help but try to avoid saying I love you back, because I wasn't sure the relationship would last. It lasted for a few months, but then went south because I had gotten so busy I couldn't talk to him as much. I don't regret it though.

It was a good experience for me. I learned to accept that people might just love me for who I am, and that maybe I wasn't as unlovable as I thought. I got to experience happiness and joy in love, and it wasn't a bad experience.

Anyways, that sort of relationship can only happen if both are committed and refuse to hold back in case of getting hurt. I know a couple who has been in an internet relationship for 6 years, and they're still in love, and they still talk to each other every day. Skype is a handy tool.

I'd say you'll have to make a decision on your own. You must decide if you're willing to take those risks, or if you do nothing at all, or allow this to crumble away.

Its over. hes a guy. enough said. its long over
