Aaaaaaand my dad (I think) has pretty much cut off all communication with Erik because he wants me to be "safe"

If you need me I'll be crying in the corner

[D-vid]

Maybe he's right?

Your father is concerned because you are young, eager, gullible and have poor judgement. Suck it up. Your dad is in the right.

P.S: Being gay doesn't make you any older or wiser.

His dad isn't totally in the right, but as a dad, he's doing what he thinks is right.

I'd probably do that to my son, too. Or daughter. Or other.
Whatever I dunno just if I think it's going by too fast I'd be like "Naw."

[YCobb]

No man seriously. If how you on about him on this forum is any indication of how you talk in person, then your dad has hella reasons to be concerned. You're too young yo. Love doesn't happen immediately, you're just infatuated. You'll survive without your one-week Internet boyfriend.

[luroberto]

Love is something that happens when you are with the person for months, weeks if it's like, meant to be.
You grow to like them more and more and appreciate their weaknesses and strengths. then one die you're thinking about them and you realize...
Wow. I really love this person, don't I?

[YCobb]

Eh, I'm not sure I'd qualify love like that. You can have that epiphanic moment without being in love or you could fall in love without ever having it.

I just assume I'm infatuated until I get past the point where I feel the need to constantly state my affections.
Could be different for everyone.

"It doesn't happen in a week at aw thirteen" is pretty much a constant though

[luroberto]

That's how it was for me, anyway.
The one person I genuinely thought I loved, anyway.

Yeah, it's different for everyone, but that's my experience with love.

[Kamak]

Maybe he's right?

Man, you don't even know how many girls online want me to help them steal the Declaration of Independence.

This is part of the reason I switched to men. None of this bullshit.

[Kergan]

Well, that's it, I'm ...
Well, I guess you could say I'm in a semi-couple. She wants us to continue this way, behaving half like a couple, half like friends, hugging and facebattling, spending time together, talking a lot ...
I don't know if it's good or not.

Terra : It's not mine to decide if your father is right or wrong, but I think he's doing what he think is right, and you should at least listen at what he has to say about this.

[YCobb]

It sounds like she just doesn't want to commit so quickly, which isn't a bad thing or sign at all. You guys started all this about a month ago, right? Ignore what TV/society/etc tells you about how quickly people start relationships, it usually takes a good while. I've known every girl I've dated about half a year before we started dating. (I know you already knew the person you're with, but not very well, right? I mean like half a year of being close friends)

If she's willing to give you the shots she's giving you, that's a good sign. Just don't try to rush it, because putting pressure on people for stuff like that usually starts problems.

It's like this for every stage of relationships, really. Neither of you are ready for marriage, for example, but that doesn't mean your relationship is doomed. It's just not that serious yet.

[Kergan]

Thank you YCobb, it reassures me a lot
(And you're right, I didn't know her very well until a little more than one month ago, so it seems logical)
Anyway in only one month we'll be living in the same city, in close residences. She seems very pop flyin' about it, and we've already got tons of things we'd like to do together, so I guess it's going to evolve towards the right direction. I hope so.

Erik keeps messaging me on Steam and I feel awful that I can't respond
