I met a boy online about four years ago. He is 21 years old now. We have been good friends. We usually share photos and chat online. Last year, he told me that he was in love with me. At first I didn’t want to be in a relationship with him but slowly I started feeling that I love him too. We have never met each other (he lives in West Bengal), so I’m worried that he might not be the right person for me. Is this love? Should we be in a relationship?

For the last four years you have been in an online relationship with a boy whom you never met. All you know about him is what he tells you in your online chatting; nothing more. Now he’s started chatting about loving you and you started “feeling” that you too “love him”. Much of what I wrote in the letter ‘I AM IN A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP’ applies to you also. Read it carefully. Stop dreaming about love and start living real and committed relationships with people near to you, starting from your family. To your question: “Is this love?” I reply: no, it is just feelings and emotional dreams; this is called ‘infatuation’.
