So there's this guy who likes me , but he's only seen me in pics and has written to me by text.?

So you're saying that you want someone who's sweet and really good looking? Please keep in mind is that looks fade with age.

The key question is whether or not he's a strong guy. A strong person has good character (honesty, integrity, trustworthiness), displays a positive attitude (cheerful, caring, friendly, forgiving, helpful, and respectful), fulfills their responsibilities (for handling people who are pains in a positive way, for always trying to make a good choice, for taking care of themselves, for serving others), gives their best effort, and demonstrates self-control (of their body, anger, mouth and money). This is the kind of guy who is less likely to break your heart.

(If you don't think that being OK looking is not going to be enough - please save him the heartbreak of stringing him along.)

Hope this helps!
