title text. we met online, he lives far away, i really like him a lot. we’ve been talking everyday for two weeks. i don’t feel like i’m being used for some kind of romance scam. i only have a few friends; one is hesitant/concerned about the age gap, especially because i’ve never dated someone before and i have some iffy experiences with talking to people online. the other friend is pretty judgmental (just wants me to use him for his money and is disappointed that i might be catching feelings). the third one wants me to be safe and not get hurt but also supports that he makes me happy. i feel stupid for liking this man at all so i decided to try and ask internet strangers. thanks in advance.
