Thank you again Filipe! I would agree that he may have really had a legitimate reason for backing out of meeting but he hasn’t offered another date yet. So that leaves me believing still that he just chickened out. He still shows interest online. It literally is like he wants to keep it as an online thing only. I guess time will tell for sure.

Wiseowl, thank your response! I am sorry you went through that. That is a real concern of mine. I’ve been trying to not fall into that same “trap” as you said. We were friends only for years so there was no strong emotions until recently when the idea of actually meeting came into play. I was getting excited about meeting him and wanted to pursue further especially since he seems to have already developed strong feelings for me without even meeting yet. I question that and I told him that until we actually meet, I would not know for certain that I had those same feelings. I mean, I feel something for him but I don’t think it’s real until we meet. This is why I want to know if others had experienced this before.
