internet boyfriend

okay. so my boyfriend lives in the UK, but i live in Canada. we have never met before and we’ve been talking loads and for months now. i just talked to my mom about it and she said that she completely disagrees with the idea and thinks i’m being stupid and will get kidnaped if i were to meet him.

although i 100% understand the concern, and i know talking to people on the internet is a HUGE risk especially the distance we live.. but i know for a fact he’s not a catfish or pretending to be someone that he’s not.

i’m just not entirely sure what to do.
