text: what to do when you are in love with someone from another country in this situation? i think i am in love with a guy from another country. we are both latin. i live in the caribbean and he lives in south america. i am 20 and he is 23. i have known him for a while and he confessed to me months ago that he liked me and i told him that i liked him too and i started to fall in love with him. he is a very attractive guy and i love his country. i don't want to meet him now because i still need to know him more and i am too busy with college, and i still have like a year left to finish. also i don't know if i should establish my life by getting a job in my country or in the u.s.  i have tried to forget about him, lately we have been fighting a lot, but when we fight we talk again weeks later and is being so hard for us to forget about each other. i haven't talked to him for like one or two weeks, and i feel so empty and sad. when we were together i felt so happy and full but now i feel so sad, but i think we will talk again because i found something he wrote in this site (i you have to be very careful with long distance or online relationships especially being from two different countries.  if this man you say you love, asks you for any money, or asks you to let him borrow any money...dont do it!!  there are many people both men and women who meet on line from different countries.  they say they love you and would do anything for you, but when it comes to asking for money (what ever reason they give you), it is a scam.  if this person is a true person, i would suggest that when you have spring break from college, that you invite him to come and visit you.  you are in college so i know you cant afford to spend out extra money to travell to visit him.  this is one way you two can get to know eachother up front and in person.    please do not jump the gun on this one.  you need to make darn sure that this person you have a relationship is a real person.  you can get his name and address and do a search to make sure it checks out.  i would suggest you do a back ground check too.    i know because i was in a relationship online with a man from a different country for over a year.  i am a victum of being scammed.  good luck and i hope this helps :-)
