Wouldn't it be better to go out with friends and meet someone 'live'?

 Well I have two opinions the first is he did lie to you and you need to be carful not to get played. Second is he's only 2 years different if their is love their why throw it away over age. If it seems a problem you can always just keep the relationship how it is for now at least till he's a little older. You seem to connect but remember until you actually meet you still have to believe what he says can be true or false. Last love deserves a chance but don't go blind into a dark alley. If you decide to meet take a friend. I hope I have been some help....

There may be a few issues in the future where maturity may be important but i don't think thats an issue for you. But yeah do be careful about the whole online thing.
Good luck.

 No, I dont see the age gap as a problem. You both seem to have a lot in common so enjoy the relationship. However I would caution you, not everything you get told is true, sometimes people will misrepresent themselves with the whole idea of conning someone. I understand that you have built up a relationship with this guy, however please be careful, as there are scarey people out there!

There is only 2 years difference.
He's only your online friend so it's not really a problem morally and he's over 16 so I don't think there is any legal problem.
Do remember that he's only showing you the bits he wants. He could be lying to you and he may very well meet a real life girlfriend and disappear without warning. He may already have one.
Please be careful with your feelings here.
Good Luck!! xx
