No- i wouldnt say block yourself totally off from him, emotionally or otherwise. But you came on here proclaiming both of you being in love, after a month of on line talking.

Very good post, rlch, and you stated a lot of very good red flags that many would probably not think of. We are so lucky to have so many good women on this board with all sorts of circumstances and experience that can advise based on that.

I think that the label, "fond pen pal" is a much better one than "THE ONE" - especially given his distance. It is all in how you want to view the purpose of him in your life.

To me, it is far easier to get a little busy getting out of the house with fun activities - and to run into someone and build a friendship/relationship from there. You slowly exchange stories and memories and build trust. You really get to know each other - good and bad - and you still like what you see and make sense to each other's lives over time. To me, this is safe and everlasting. No tizzy. No trainwreck.
