    Hi Arexa, when I was younger I used to be in your shoes. I know what it felt like to be in love with someone who seemed like he was the perfect man for me, yet he was 1000 miles away. Long distance relationships are insufferably difficult, and if you have not met in person or do not have an end date in sight: impossible. Preferably, fall in love with someone you can cuddle and kiss and be there for you when you need him. You're still young, and there is so much for you to learn about relationships. Squeekarose made some excellent points about sexual predators and staying safe.

    If there is one thing I can tell you, it's that he's not the one for you. Don't settle with someone who gives you doubts. You deserve much more than that. Be friends if you wish, but don't waste another second on this 'relationship'.

    Whatever you do, just be careful and stay safe. It's a scary world out there in the internet.

    Well sweetie I have a 13 ur old daughter and her and I have conversations about this kinda thing a lot actually. I'm sure you are aware of what sexual computer predators are, right? I only ask you this because I don't think I would be doing you any favors if I didn't 1st tell you that there are millions of people everyday that get hurt by others claiming to be someone their not over a computer. It's not hard to fake a name a picture a conversation, and also the cops use people that look young but are older to catch online predators. You said u were 13 and he's 16 and in Vegas I'm not sure but that might be illegal because some states consider you an adult at 16 which means statutory rape can be a factor because you are 13, now that we got all the adult stuff out there and I feel that I've warned you about how dangerous "dating" on the Internet can be lets talk about your feelings!! You sound like an amazing young person who loves with their whole heart just like my daughter. She falls hard and when the guy isn't as interested she takes it to heart and she spends a lot of time crying and feeling bad! Time is the only thing that can heal a broken heart, I know, that's so much easier said then done huh? Also, you need to keep in mind that if he liked you the way you liked him he would call or txt you just as much as he did before you told him you didn't want to be sexual with him! Save yourself for someone that is super special and I'm proud of you for telling him you wouldn't be interested in going any further then kissing! That took a lot of guys and you handled that like a mature young lady! If he has backed off and is only callin or txting when he's down or doesn't have anything better to do then I think perhaps you can keep him as a writing buddy but find yourself a nice boy from school that can spend lots of time telling you how great you r to your face and he will be your age so he will know what your goin thru cause he will be dealing with the same things! I hope this helps you a little bit and if you ever need any advice please don't hesitate to message me, I'm up all hours of the day and night...good luck dear
