Welcome to the forum Mrs. M.
Wow, you're popular...going towards 1200 views in 1 day !
As others have advised, take it slowly.
BUT we are talking FANTASY here.
When the man of your dreams comes there and knocks on your door, that is when the REAL relationship starts.
Sadly there are many thousands of guys searching the internet for girls to line up for sex, and thousands more looking for the opportunity to scam you.
It has happened to members of this forum.
It may sound both clinical and cynical, but the first thing you need to do is start a serious bit of searching to establish exactly who the man is.
First and foremost, TALK TO HIM ON WEBCAM. If he can't or won't do that...HUGE alarm bells ringing. (Doesn't matter whether YOU can access a cam or not).
Google his email address.
Google his name and any 'user names' he has.
Get phone numbers for him and try sending a text (not too expensive).
His phone number should also tell what country he is located in.
Search for him on facebook.
Most people have facebook accounts nowadays, and a genuine man 'in love' with you will happily add you as a friend on facebook. (If not, why not ?).
We all leave a trail on the internet.
Good luck, let us know how things progress.
If he says he's on his way to see you, but is stuck at an airport and desperately needs money......
SCAM !
