Could there be any legal ramifications?

I've never experienced anything like this before. My son has been in an "online relationship" (chatting, %26amp; telephone) for awhile now (they're both adults) He has her phone number, but she doesn't have his %26amp; his number is always blocked. His address is unknown to her.She was content with things this way. They have not met face-to-face. The girl %26amp; my son have professed their love for each other, but my son is now having second thoughts %26amp; not wanting to meet her at all. In fact, he's contemplating ending it. From what he tells me, this girl is very much into him. They've gone so far as to talk about getting married. This is mind-boggling to me since they haven't met. I don't understand it, so I won't criticize it. She doesn't know where he works, etc. In fact, he told me he hasn't used his real name.

Never were there any threats, exchange of money, etc.etc. It was just all talk. It's not illegal to lie about love. If he were to end it all, could there be any legal ramifications?Could there be any legal ramifications?
I wouldnt think so - some internet relationships work out. Some dont.



In my opinion, she has put herself on the line and if it backfires - Oh well!



I believe that as a society, people seem to sue for any reason at all, which is why our courts are so clogged up, we have huge insurance premiums etc.



My son fell over in a shopping Centre and injured his leg quite badly - am I going to sue - NOOOO! It was his fault and these things happen - the girl should look at it the same way.Could there be any legal ramifications?
How is this any different than ending a relationship that you pursued in a "normal" fashion? No legal ramifications at all; the State can not compel you (through laws) to continue a relationship you don't want to be in (except under Sharia law - no commentary intended, just a factual clarification).



The only situation might be if he had given her an engagement ring; she would then, in most states, be required to return the ring.



What could you possibly fear might be a problem? I can't figure that out.Could there be any legal ramifications?
no contract, no legal ramifications, maybe moral obligation!
No, but I think your son should be more up front. It seems he is really nervous about committing himself on line to someone who may not be up front like him to. There is a lot of paranoia out there today, which is very understandable. Honesty is such a hard thing to find in our society today. We have all these tools for communicating today, but we seem to be further apart from each other then any other time before in history. We live in sad times, no more trust, no more honesty, and no more love for each other.
