If you feel things are going stale, you arent moving forward and hes not making an effort to see you regularly, try telling him that. LDR`s by their nature, must be very difficult things to manage and require lots of online reassurance and dedication. And it must be very hard to have to manage on a few visits a year. The fact that he doesnt seem as eager as he should be to see more of you, would raise a red flag for me. Could you offer to go and see him? Maybe meet up half way? A frank talk, face to face, will help both of you to decide where the relationship is going.

It's not normal to make up stupid excuses to not see you. Either he doesn't feel the same when hes with you in person or he's extremely shy. When you can't behind a computer screen he has to show you all of his personality. Online you only see what the person wants you to see.
Internet relationships hardly never work out, so don't take it too rough. But if he won't see you in person it won't ever work out.

Yeah this is normal, But if this is the first long distance relationship youve been in, its gonna take some time to get use to, i had this problem before,i just talked to him alot, and we sent alot of pictures, i DO NOT recommend doing this if this is ur first time... its hard, and u can lsoe your mind... and always remember internet isnt safe! hope i helped, atleast a little, good luck!
