If you met a guy online and he says he loves you before you've met in person, what does that mean?

He's either telling you what you want to hear in order to sleep with you or he's a serial killer.

Let me reiterate: he's either selling you a lie he knows you're desperate to believe in order to get himself a slice of your love pie or he makes pants out of human skin and decorative candle holders with the bones. You don't want to know why he has a closet full of Hamburger Helper.

You wrote me this question because, deep down, you want to think that getting someone to say "I love you" is easy. It's not. I guess it's plausible that the two of you have engaged in a deeply intimate correspondence. I've fallen deeply in love, and also had insanely hot cyber-sex, with women I've e-mailed and instant messaged. Sometimes, digital epistolary affairs can be even more intense than a purely flesh and blood mingling because so much of sex happens in the brain.

But in these cases, I at least knew what these ladies smelled like.

I would be super distrustful of someone who told me they loved me without ever having ever met me. They are either manipulative or extremely immature. In fact, that kind of sentiment so early, and based purely on a virtual relationship, is a borderline deal breaker in my book.

I've totally had guys that send me those kinds of messages on online dating sites and all I can say is it's really creepy. If you even have to contemplate the meaning of an I love you from someone that only knows what they read on a profile you wrote about yourself thats kinda scary too!

Excellent answer and oh so very true.

Yes girl! the guy is either very manipulative or just very new in the dating game (i don't think it's the 2nd one )
believe me! i have experienced with one guy, who told me in the 2nd week!!!
and we stayed together for about 8 months (no seeing), before i found out what a lieing, decieving creep he was.
good luck and always watch out for your best interest :)

It depends. If it's a dating site, yeah it's kinda creepy. But I've had some great friends online that I've known for years that eventually we got into long distance relationships :) And on occasion, I've met them and they're absolutely normal people. I wouldn't advise anyone to meet anyone online in person unless you take precautions. But sure, love can happen online. It's up to you to decipher whether this person is sincere.

I've had some sincere and insincere professions of love both online and offline. It's just as dangerous in a bar getting in the car with someone you don't know. Think of it like that. Get to know each other's background. Really dig and see if you can find anything that he might not want you to know. If you have friends in common, talk to them about it. They may know some things you don't and can clue you in. Use your head, just like in person.

But I certainly wouldn't drop a good online friend because they say they love you.

He could be an online scammer. I'd put telling someone I love you in the red flag catagory.

i agree. want's you in bed, dead, or both.

well we met on tagged and have been talking on the phone dang near everyday for about 2 months. the only reason we've never met in person is i'm scared to drive over the bay bridge and he doesn't have a car. But yeah i agree about the weirdness of an online "i love you".

The movie Fargo comes to mind.

"/ I'm in a long distance internet relationship. I didn't meet him off a dating website though and I waited a few months before getting into anything with him. We haven't met yet, but thats because he lives exactly on the other side of the world(theres a twelve hour time diffrence xD) But he tells me he loves me and I say it back. We've also had video chats and phone calls...so does this still mean he's a creeper??

I Met a guy online and after like a week he is telling me he loves me. The thing is we both want the same things. We both want to marry and have kids. I am actually 15 years older than him. We have talked on the phone and he has sent me videos via text. I really do like this guy and would love to know more about him. So am I crazy or should I stick it out and see where it goes?

I meet a christian man on line, he told me he is on a mission in haiti, we chat online everynite now for 2 weeks. He is also british from the UK, he has told me lots of things about his life and he is coming to see me like in feb or march. After just 2 weeks he tells me that he wants to marry me and that he loves me. He is much younger than me he is 40 and i am 49 he has never been married or has any children. I have told him things about me and my life. I have been married and have had 3 children. What do you think about this relationship? Oh yea I want to marry a christian man. I fill like I need to say I love you. I love care about him but not actuall in love with him. Again what do you think? Be honest!

I met a guy online on a dating site. Found out with a little research that he had a girlfriend. He then dumped her - at least he said. A week or so into the "relationship" this guy tells me he loves me. He lives thousands of miles away! I kept finding things out about this person online and he stomped me for it! I got rid of him once but he came back with a vengeance. All the "I love yous" etc. He kept his health from me as well, and when I asked about it the last time we talked, he freaked out and said the cruelest thing to me that anyone has ever said. It was done after that. Thank God. He does all sorts of research on AIDS and cancer online. Makes you wonder no? People are sickos out there! This one had me fooled for about a second or so. WATCH OUT! There are sociopaths everywhere and online is their favorite playground for obvious reasons. If someone spends all day online, something is wrong. If they do it with you, expect them to do it with everyone. If they keep health issues secret, expect the worst!

I met a guy online, and we have been talking for about 8 months now. He said a few days ago that he loves me. I really care about him, its just I don't know if hes just saying it. I haven't had cyber-sex or sent any nude pictures, hes only seen my picture, and I've seen his picture. He lives in the same country just in a different state, that happens to be far away. I just don't want it all to be a lie. Can someone please give me some advice on what to do?
