Relationship Issues & Advice

[BunnyBoo12]

There are a lot of things wrong with what i'm about to say.I was on a teen dating website looking for love and I was messaged by this guy named Trent.We swapped numbers and started texting.We were texting for about a few days and we took a liking to each other.He asked me if I thought I was ready to settle down for a relationship and I said yes but really,I was wrong.Then he asked me if I could be his girlfriend and I said yes.

We have been dating for about 3 months right now and we don't text like we used to.I would even text him with sad faces and he won't even respond.He says it's because he's stressing from school.I know he's not cheating because when he had his teen dating profile,in the about me section,he put that he was loyal to his girl,which is me.We're already having a downfall.When we don't talk like we used to,I don't have a shoulder to cry on or a teddy bear to hold.We still haven't had our first date.Because of our long-distance,I don't know if he's ok or what he's doing.He has had his brush with death twice.The first time,he was texting and I could tell he was paranoid because he was asking me why I haven't been texting him.I asked him what was wrong and he tells me that he's hearing loud noises from downstair and he thinks he's being robbed and we stopped texting after that.The day after that,he texted me from the hospital and he was shot in the leg.The 2nd time was when he got into a car wreck during Christmas Break and his cousin texted me through his phone.His heart had stopped but they were able to bring him back to life.A few days after that,we talked on the phone when he got out of the hospital.

I have told my friends about him,how we met and how it is between us but they think that Trent's not real since we met on the internet.We have talked on the phone and he does sound like a 14-year-old teen.I have watched Catfish:The TV Show and it does make me feel suspicious since we still haven't had our first date.When we don't text,I get so worked up that he might be hurt.I really feel like we rushed into this relationship 'cause we weren't friends or best friends before that,just strangers.I want to break up with him but i'm so afraid that I think I might be passing up a good opportunity.I don't know if Trent's my true love but he does.Right now,it's all so confusing because i'm dealing with a lot of stuff.I wanna break up with him but i'm afraid of how he'll take it...

Why would you start dating someone on the internet especially after just a few days? You have no idea who he really is? And he's obviously not that into it so you should just end it and move on.
