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.

I probably shouldn't be deciding the fate of my relationship over the Internet but I'm confused. Don't get me wrong, I love my boyfriend. We have been dating for nearly 6 months now, both 18. He always says he loves me and tells me I'm beautiful however when we go out on dates he just stares at other girls like tonight he spent 45% of the night staring at all the waitress girls. Even when we were talking. I'm getting annoyed over this cause he always does it plus once we made a pact that we both agree it's considered cheating if we either look, or think about someone else (boy for me/girl for him). Furthermore, he has met both my parents and he spends so much time at my house but, I have never met his parents, they probably wouldn't even know about me if it wasn't for his sister telling them. I don't know when is the good time to meet the parents but still. Also, whenever we go out he's all lovey and cuddly with me but when we see a family member of his or someone we both know, he'll let go of me and look away as though we both don't know each other. It's so annoying. He does this continuously and as much I love him I don't want a relationship like that? Any advice. I'm honestly right now thinking about putting it off
