Search Results: people time to realize they love someone

I don't even know how to word this.

Basically there's this guy who I've been talking to online for months who professed his love for me even though we've never met. And I freaked out a little thinking that there's no way, because we haven't even met. Or video chatted. Or voice chatted. And my family was telling me he must be crazy and desperate wanting to be with someone he's only known for a little while.

Well, over the past couple of weeks I've made more online friends and they've done the same thing but even worse. One guy, I don't even know what his first name is and we haven't even seen pics of each other but he says he wants to date me. And another, I do know his name and we know where each other live and he's saying he wants to have a relationship and he thinks he loves me.

Is this just how people are nowadays? Or do I only attract crazy people? It makes me wonder if the first guy isn't desperate after all but I don't know? Why is it that after talking to someone a few days they say that they want to be together? It's all of these guys doing it too. That's what's so weird to me.

Am I just too old to be in the loop and realize that this is just how it is now? Or do I somehow only end up talking to the people who aren't a good representation of guys? It used to be it took time hanging out in person for this to happen.
