What should i do, age conflict?

Question

Okay, 3 years ago when I was 11. I met this guy in a chat room off my friend’s site. I lied to him and said I was 15, and he was about 19. Then we became really good friends. I didn't know any better, I thought it was just a ONE time thing. Then a year went by and I was 12, he started to like me. And I started to like him (he still thinks I'm older, I never told him) But, I feel SO bad, because he’s a really good guy, and I'm WAY too young for him. And I thought we were only going to be friends, but I really like him. He has NEVER asked me to show, he has always respected me. I just don't know what to do, now he thinks I'm 17 (year 3) but, I'm only 13. Now, he wants to meet me, (he only lives 4 hours away now) I can't tell him, he'll be SO heartbroken, I just know it. He has gone through So much stress over the years that I’m his only thing he cares about. (As a best friend)

And, If I don’t tell him I don’t like him instead of telling him the truth. I’ll feel like a jerk because, He really likes me, and I like him. Staying friends, will just keep myself heartbroken && Him I guess. What a mess. Answers will be appreciated. Thanks, for your time. :)

Answer 1

Honey, you have to be truthful to this guy, just tell him that you lied about your age, if he truly respects you(and I hope he does) you 2 can continue to be friends, and as you get older you may proceed to a relationship. If not, he truly isn't worth the potential heartache.

Answer 2

Ummm...don't you watch tv??

this guy could be a predator who kidnaps young girls.

You need to get off the internet and chat rooms. You should know how dangerous it is to chat with strangers online.  

Answer 3

Yah i did that with my best friend kevin its been about 2 years

and i know for a fact he loves me because he tells me everyday

we've been through a lot but i still wont forgive him for some things he's done to me but he forgave me for the whole age thing. Im 14 and he's 17.

Anyways, tell him and he'll understand.

its the only way.

Answer 4

tell him you're seeing someone

Answer 5

Go to bed and dream ok.

Answer 6

so he is 21-22. There could be alot of reasons he likes you? Its quite odd with the age span but... look at it this way... You still have to experience growing up... Why not stay single, have fun, learn from your mistakes... dont go rushing into ****... sounds to me like its just a crush! Let him find someone his own age... pretty soon hes gonna settle down and start stringing his life together... Do you really wanna be commited at 13? Do you know all the great experiences you'll miss? Think about it... :) Sry if its not what you wanted to hear...
