phone friendship help

[bambiboo78]

have an online male friend ive talked to over the phone for two years now, we talk virtually everyday for hours and really get on, all is fine accept im worried that ive fallen for him, how can this be when we've never even met? both of us are single and in our late twenties, the agreement has so far been that we are unlikely to meet and just friends how do i stop myself falling in love with him without ending this friendship?

get out more and how do you know for a fact he is single you can be whoever you want to be on the internet sounds like he is married why cant you meet?

im pretty sure he is single cos have his home number and he rings at all times and i have rang him unannounced and its always him that answers, we both think it would spoil friendship, but im starting to have doubts, yeh u right i should get out more lol

You are getting to know someone, learning their likes and dislikes... moods and temprement. It's a friendship whatever anyone says. Thing is would the friendship survive if you tried to move on from just chatting on the phone? Do you want to chance it and find out? Is he looking to move on from phone chats? There are a lot of question marks on this bambino78 so put everything into perspective before you do anything
Good luck

You must be 2 very shy individuals. I would have thought as you both get on so well that the urge to meet after 2 years would be tremendous. One or both of you must suffer low esteem and feel that by meeting you won't match up to your own description. It reminds me of when I was in the army at some distant posting when the only contact was by a pen friend but did not work out when I returned to UK because of not matching up.

thanks to twicky and cherrypie for sound replies, yes we're both shy and when we started talking we were both adament we didnt want a relationship with anyone but both just wanted company over the phone, thanks cherrypie gonna' think about it carefully, think we both just wanna carry on as we are indefinitely, weirdos i know !
