Long Distance "Friend"ship

This guy and I have been friends for about 4 or 5 years and have never truly met in person. We've talked on the phone, facetimed, snapchat, and text almost every day so I know he isn't someone with a fake profile. He lives in Chicago and I live in Louisiana so the distance and school have stopped us from flying to meet. However, he tells me he loves me and talks about marrying me and having child together. So I don't believe he sees this as only a friendship which I have told him that once we meet we could possibly be more than friends. Do you girls believe that this could actually be for real like some kind of 21st century Cinderella story?
