Please help...advice on Christian relationship?

Here's the deal. I met a guy on a Christian dating site a few months ago. We're both 18. We talked for a month and then he asked me to be his gf, and although I briefly considered that we'd both be experiencing changes in our lives soon (college in the fall) AND that we live 12 hours apart, I said yes anyway since I liked him very much.





Here we are 2 months later, and we need to think about what we're gonna do. He wants to meet in person, which I thought was a good idea originally but my parents keep saying how itll make it harder to be apart once we take that step. Also, they dont think I should be tied down right now, especially going into college where I'll meet new people. It's not so much that, but how will I know he's ';the one'; if I never date other people?





I'm starting to agree with my rents, even though I still think my bf is a great guy. He, however, wants to continue our relationship and not even open it up to dating other people. I suspect he is so afraid of losing me b/c I'm his first girlfriend.





So, now I'm utterly confused because I feel bad to break up with him when there's really nothing wrong with his character, it's just a tough situation.





I'd like some advice from how other Christians handle dating...do you become good friends first before u officially are a couple, or what? But anyone is welcome to give me their input!Please help...advice on Christian relationship?
Christian dating sites are not all that they are cracked up to be. So many people get in there thinking they can sucker a nice girl into doing most anything. I suggest that you stop, and think about it a little bit more before committing to him. What do you really know about him? Is what he telling you the truth? How do you know he is not an ex con? I think that before you do commit to this guy i would want to meet face to face first and see what he looks like , heck you may not even like the way he looks. After that , explain to him your college plans and see if that is acceptable to him because if it is not then at least you knew before hand and did not waste time. Do not believe everything someone tells you on a dating site or a chat line.Please help...advice on Christian relationship?
You've never even met this guy, and you don't even know if he really is who he says he is. I would suggest that you are more afraid of hurting this person's feelings than you are of taking care of your self. In other words, tell him you are going to date other people and know that while his feelings will be hurt, he will eventually get over it. Take care of you first.
