Is he rushing things, or am I just not good at dating?

I've been chatting online with a guy who's 30 for about four days now, and we definitely clicked during our phone conversations. However, there's one issue that's been bothering me: he's very eager to meet up in person. He's asked me every day since we started talking, wanting me to drive two hours to "hang out." I've told him it's too soon for me, but he continues to push the idea. Now he seems to think I'm not really interested in him. Is it normal for people to want to meet so quickly after connecting online? Am I the only one who feels this way?

Long-Distance Relationship Without Communication

I'm currently facing a challenging situation. I've been in an online relationship for the past 1.5 years with someone I truly care about ('20F' and '24M). We've connected through video calls and chats but haven’t met in person yet. He just got a job as a police officer and starts his training tomorrow. Unfortunately, phones aren’t permitted at the training camp, which means we won't be able to communicate during that time. We were planning to meet this Christmas, but those plans have changed. He’s starting his training tomorrow, and I’m feeling really anxious about how I’ll cope with the next year. I would appreciate any advice or support.

I, a 31-year-old male, met a 28-year-old female online. We're from different states and have plans to meet in person.

Hello, this is my first time posting, so I appreciate your patience. I've been talking to a girl I met online from another state—she's 28 and very kind, but she tends to be quite emotional and cries over various things. We've been getting closer for about seven months, and I’m set to meet her in a couple of weeks. However, I’m feeling unsure about it. She has expressed a strong desire for me to move to her state and seems eager to accelerate our relationship into something more serious in under a year, which makes me a bit uneasy. Moving away from my home state would be a significant risk for me, as I would be leaving behind family, friends, and everything I've worked for. I’m torn between whether to end things before I meet her or to go ahead and meet her and see how I feel afterward. I don’t want to hurt her by leading her on, but I also don’t want to stay in a situation that makes me uncomfortable. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Am I wrong for feeling this way?
