Dear Abby: I'm smitten, and people tell me I'm delusional
Briefly

The author, a woman in her mid-20s, shares her journey of overcoming toxic relationships and finding an enriching long-distance connection with a friend she admires. Despite her feelings, she faces skepticism from her family regarding the legitimacy of her relationship. They question her sanity for engaging in a long-distance romance, which is particularly challenging due to her father's strict views and prejudices. Despite her family's doubts, she feels safe and ready to love again, especially as her friend considers moving closer to her. However, she must also navigate her family's attitudes to foster acceptance and understand how her relationship may evolve.
As someone who's been single for three years, I feel ready to love again and be with someone, and my gut instincts and intuition feel safe with him.
While he may be everything you say he is (and he says he is), you can't be certain he is really Prince Charming until you meet him in person.
It will give you an opportunity to judge whether he is really the person he presents himself to be and allow your family to get to know him.
The racism you mentioned in passing regarding your family could impact how this relationship develops, so consider how to address that as well.
