Hi Rebekah... you should put him in the category of strictly an "Internet friend" and do whatever you have to so you don't change that category for him. In other words, if we maintain context, then "Internet friendships" can be rewarding, somewhat fulfilling (in context), but never real. You don't (and probably shouldn't) need to tell him you have put him into a category, but remember that category keeps you in the power position so you don't fall into any emotional or mind-game traps. That way, you can have fun, put in and extract what you want from the friendship, but you can avoid any hurt. Basically, it sets and holds expectations. And, don't give up on the real-world!

That's why I don't get close to people online. I don't share location, family etc.. I'm here for a good time and meet friends I will most likely never see. The heartache isn't worth it.

I think we need a lot more info before we can answer your question. What exactly were the lies he told you ?

Run away. There are lots of guys, why waste time with a liar?
