SO what would you do?

Ok this is a tough one but it is better to develop feelings (in my opinion) for someone over time than just jumping right into it. Usually those amazing feelings you have when you meet someone are short lived,. You know it's true when you can look at the person 6 months from now and still say to yourself gosh they are amazing. I will say that I personally would wait until September for online guy only to see if he follows through. If he doesn't or stops talking to you over time then go with local guy. The best thing you can do for yourself right now is be happy and take things slow. I know it's hard to do sometimes when you have the amazing newness feelings. But as much of a cliche it is time will tell. I wish you all the best of luck! I hope things work out for you.
