It sounds like you're off to a pretty good start. I'd keep doing what you're doing, talking with him online and occasionally mentioning that you want to meet him in person. Honestly, no one can know what he's thinking but him. So just try to be really open with him and ask him why he doesn't want to meet. Just be really gentle about everything, you don't want to scare him off by being too demanding or anything.

But eventually you should meet in person. If time goes on and you still haven't met, this relationship may not work.

THANKYOU ILL KEEP TRYING. as of dec 27 he just simply quit talking to me. but im happy to say that i found out i wasnt really in love with him. and now i have met someone new and the feelings i thought i had for the other one are nothing compared to what i feel for this one, this one when i talk to him i get so keyed up that i have trouble concentrating on anything else. and with this everything is open and very blunt, which wasnt the way it was between me and ben. daniel makes my heart soar just by talking to him. thankyou jillywinkles for your advice. but what at the time seemed so important about ben really wasnt like i thought it was. if things had been a little different i might have been missing out on another relationship that has so far been amazing. i am thankful now that it didnt work between us.
