 how old is Dustin?
how old are you?
(there is a huge difference between 13 and 15)
what should you do?
at your age Florida to MD is a huge distance.
I would recommend that if Dustin is close to your age that you continue to be friends online and if you can mange to meet this summer (with parental consent and approval) and stay in public areas getting to spend time together then do it.
I do NOT recommend and LDR at your age.... I just don't especially if you have not met in person (if you were say 17 and Dustin was 17 and you guys had been friends since age 15 and he had to move that would be a slightly different issue)....
LDRs suck hon even when you are an old lady like me, and the love of my life is only 2 hours away and I can get in my car and drive and see him every weekend... it still STINKS... think long and hard about this...
I'm not saying you should not be friends with him, just that you don't want to limit your options...

 Honey.. before you meet "Dustin", you have to ask yourself if you're prepared for a long distance relationship. That means only seeing each other occasionally. You also have to ask yourself whether once you meet, how you're going to see each other.
Will he visit you or will you visit him? Is there enough money to cover the cost of the trip? How long are you willing to be long distance for? Who is ultimately willing to permanently move in order to close the distance? These are things you need to think about before jumping into an internet romance. Trust me, I've been there.
Also have to keep in mind people are different over the internet. I know you talk to him on skype and such, but its much different to seeing them in person.
