Hi Desiderata ... you sound like you have your head screwed on . Your boyfriend may feel like he loves you but until you both meet in person, it cannot really be confirmed. I met my own partner online, we were very attracted to each other on web cam and we got on famously. We were fortunate to be able to meet here in the UK just a week after our introduction and also found the chemistry was right. Six years later ........... not wishing to rush things, we’ve just moved in together (!). Good luck and I hope that your first meeting goes well
