My friend is falling for me. NEED ADVICE ASAP?

[Anonymous]

As of recently I have met a new friend, let’s name him Z, we met a little over a month ago and have been inseparable ever since. We met via the internet and are yet to meet in person. We stay up practically every night talking until late into the night with each other and nothing feels off limits and we both feel like we can be open and talk about anything.

Problem is, last night he said ‘I’m falling in love with an internet girl, this can’t be happening’ referencing me. Problem is, we live 500 miles away and I wouldn’t say I’m open to date or ever considering a long distance relationship, due to trying before and it not going as expected.

I really enjoy our conversations and I don’t want them to stop, I love the way we are but I’m afraid one of us will end up getting hurt from this situation.

He has also said he isn’t interested in a long distance relationship either, I have made it clear about not being open to it but with remarks like that I feel like it’s escalating pretty quickly.

Any advice on what I should do?

if you both are saying you will NEVER commit to anything long-distance type of thing, then this friendship has to stop if it's leading to deeper emotional feelings because that will only stress and hurt one of you or likely both of you. Don't waste time on people you don't plan to actually put an effort for because time flies and you will regret having lost that time with the wrong person if the signs were there.

both are saying will never be in long distance relationship type of thing so it's time to just end it. Find someone that you ARE willing to try for so you won't waste time, Time is valuable and the only thing we will NEVER get back, we all get old and there's no going back.

the person who said it's not a relationship below, even if you also agree that it's not, JUST because it's internet and you have not met doesn't mean it can't be a relationship. relationships are NOT solely based on physical touch, emotional feelings can lead to a deeper stronger relationship than those that focus solely on sex.

ANYHOW if you guys are going to meet, meet now, in a safe place, and see if the feelings truly lead to anything more... BUT if you don't see yourself as you said in a relationship like this then you will not even try so why waste time on that and if he said similarly to this then it's really just a waste of time in my eyes. unless you both want to meet and then see if you want to actually try to make it work, if not then just end it.

Communicate.

Voice your fears, your boundaries, and your hopes for your continued friendship.

That's the best you can do. Hopefully he's on the same page.

Men are not your friends! If you aren't open to romance with this guy do both of yourselves a favor and end it immediately.

“We met via the internet and are yet to meet in person.”

This is not even a relationship, so steady your horses.
