Hello all. I am new on here but am looking for friends who are in long-distance relationships like me. I'm in a great relationship and my boyfriend is very loving and caring, but we met on a dating site almost 10 months ago and we only communicate on that site still. He is very guarded with his personal information. We haven't talked on the phone or video chatted or anything. We text back and forth all day every day. He gets upset if I ask to move off the site and onto a different app that doesn't cost to post. I know he loves me, as we talk about our future and getting married and adopting a child. All the things that normal couples talk about. We have date nights and watch movies at the same time and text back and forth throughout the movie. He is 12 years younger than me, but we have been through all the age different talks and I was the one with the issues and now they seem silly. Is it okay that he only wants to text?

So I went today to pick up the images of my heart to bring for the second opinion, and they said that they would be at the desk. They assured me that they would be there and that they would be open until 5 PM.

I had a really good therapist last year year briefly, but when my insurance changed, I lost her. It was nearly impossible to find someone who could meet after work and wanted to meet in person.

It was ok...
Definitely insist on talking by phone at the very least. But better yet, do a live video chat. If he is okay with doing date nights, then he should have no problem video chatting with you.
You need to protect yourself and find out who this "person" really is. Sooner rather than later. I would ask now for a phone or video chat. You don't want to be taken for a fool. Definitely don't send him any money or nude pics of you! Or any promise of his citizenship.
Also, have you tried looking for guys to date in person? There should be some good guys near you that you can see in person, talk by phone whenever you want, etc. Then at least you would know who you are really dating. Be able to go out together, be together in person, etc. Isn't that what you really want in a relationship?
