I do like him but the age gap is too much for me to handle. In addition, he lives about 1000 miles away (sex isn't a factor here) and he probably dates to find a marriage partner, while I'm a teenager and I'm going to change a lot and probably we wouldn't be together anymore. He has waited to tell me because I was still upset over an ex that recently broke up with me, but when I told him that now isn't a good time, he has gotten very depressed and emotional. It hurts me to see him like this, but I'm not interested in a relationship with him. What should I do? How do I maintain our friendship without things becoming awkward? How can I cheer him up or make him understand? thanks. :)

Just don't agree to meet him anywhere. Don't send him any pictures, NONE. Don't give him your address or personal information that could allow him to track you down. He could be big trouble. Does he know you are only 14? If he does then he could BE in big trouble. Be afraid, be very afraid. Do your parents know about your "friend"?
