A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Hello Dear Cupid. I wrote here once before last year and was happy with the advice i got.

So here's my problem.

I met a guy online through an art sharing site. I favorited one of his pictures which managed to kick off a dialogue between us about online games.

I started playing with and talking to him. Eventually at some point we began to sexually text roleplay with each other and share intimate details with each other. I've roleplayed with other both close friends and people i don't know and managed to stay friends with all of them.

With this guy. It feels like we've become something else. Its not just about the games. If something is wrong we'll try to cheer each other up. We talk every night even when he's on vacation. We face chat sometimes so he can play his musical instruments or just show me something. We've talked at our best and worse.

Now i consider him a very close friend and when someone insults him or does something to him, it effects me. Like in one of our games, he was unfairly kicked from a group in the game (the leader accused him of doing something i know he didn't do) and I immediately withdrew my support from that group. He's a good man and very fun to talk to.

I feel kind of like I'm in a Long distance FWB situation. I didn't really mind it before. But the longer we continue to talk. The more I feel for him. Hes 10 years older then me (i don't mind this). I tried looking on a dating site for the first time in a while and felt nothing for anyone in the match section.

Is this bad? Should I tell him i care for him more then just a friend? I don't want to ruin our relationship. Since we haven't met IRL I'm planning a trip out to meet him and he's been supportive of me coming out to visit. So if i do tell him i wanted to wait to see how we mesh IRL before trying to tell him something like that.

What do you think and thanks for your time.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

I'm the asker of this question and since writing this, I have realized that i was still carrying a bit of chip on my shoulder about something from the last night before I wrote this (nothing you guys need to worry about).

I needed something to worry about and since I'm planning this trip to see this guy, thats what I got all tangled up in.

Any advice you guys have, I'm still happy to hear oit. But I'm not worried over it anymore. No matter if this guy likes me as a fwb, a friend, or a potential date. I'm prepared for any option. Thank you question-approvers for giving me time to think!
