"I live in a cloud of paranoia right now..."

Taking you at face value with the understanding you are not a 'troll' - what are the reasons for that? If you are in a cloud of paranoia - that is no time to be making life-changing decisions. Just realise that you won't be paranoid all your hopefully long life . Think ahead to your future non-paranoid self - and realise there is no need for your mind to be paranoid.

".... Because of my cousins and most of my family members my image and opinion on his religion was distorted,.."

What if they're right? Why do you think so many non-muslims - from every western country and several others- say that islam is deceptive and sinister. And that muslims who pretend otherwise are deceiving you?

"...I was proven wrong again and he opened up to me about his feelings towards me."

look, think about it - the very best you could say was that he opened up his feelings about his IMAGINATION of you! He has never met you, how could he possibly say he 'loved' you. And the same goes for you. You are young, which is a great thing - but your mid and emotions work overtime. Give yourself a break and don't obsess about your own imagination of 1 individual wh is in reality just one 24 year old mals muslim out of 7.5 billion people.

"I was estatic.'

You should get ecstatic over real experiences not in the BS of virtual relationships. It's sheer stupidity to pretend to know someone you cannot see especially at your age when you have limited experience in reading people and their motivations. You need to meet people face to face so that there is less chance of them projecting a fiction about theselves.

"Thus began our online relationship. We never made it Facebook official as some may call it because I didn't want my family to know just yet, after all, I'm 17 and he's 24..."

Danger, danger!! You're waaaaaaay too young to mess your life up so badly. Life can be complex - but he is not going to save you from anything . Look at his life experience - as a member of the ruling class (90% muslim) in a country where non-muslim Copts are routinely murdered and treated as 'dhimmis' and women as less than men. Sure it sounds like a dream now - but what when you're 30? And that's not so far away really - although it does seem like it now to you most likely..

You can't find American guys you like or something like that? You want exotic?? Save some money and take a trip to Europe and meet some people there. You'll be pleasantly surprised and not get involved in a ridiculous relationship too far removed from your own culture. And no expectations to act as breedstock and pump out muslims.l

Only you can make your decision -but really there are so many red flags popping up that say 'STOP' . Don't give me the chance to say 'I told you so' in 5 years. :-)
