@BlueDown,
I am wondering what exactly he is doing that is so wonderful? Just chatting, texting and sending pictures is what friends do and not nearly enough to base a serious relationship on. I would like to give you some advise about what to look for in a man: someone who is responsible, respectful, faithful, loyal, kind, morally upstanding, honest, ethical, sober, communicates his thoughts and feelings openly, and is even tempered. In the situation you described there is no way for him to really demonstrate to you any of these qualities. Moving forward, as a young woman you have to be sure that the men you have in your life can and will do more in a relationship than just chat & text-learn to expect a whole lot more because you are worth a whole lot more. A good man will want to demonstrate his qualities to you and earn the right to be in a relationship with you. On a very practical note, the fact that he lives in another country seems a little unreasonable; also not everyone you meet is telling the complete truth-you have to be very careful & use lots of caution.
