I met this guy online who is from France

Ok. I'm 18 and about to start college. I'm looking forward to the new experience and dating as well. But I met this guy online who is from France and apparently in love with me and has no problem coming to see me. I'm more afraid than nervous due to what i've seen about online relationships. We're apparently dating now...how do I tell him that this isn't just gonna work out due to the long distance and that it seems too good to be true?
VictorM's advice:
It seems to good to be true? How so? The guy is thousands of miles away! How is that good? No, this is not to good to be true.
And what do you mean by "apparently dating"? Are you letting yourself be cornered into a situation that you don't want to be? That's what it seems to me.
I understand that you're enjoying all the online attention and that your imagination is filling in the voids with dashes or perfection, but come on, for all you now this guy uses no deodorant, his breath smells like cheese, and he changes underwear when there's a full moon.
Tell him you enjoy talking to him and that you'd like to continue to do so, but that you're also looking forward to college life and dating. It's not the time in your life to settle for anyone. You want to enjoy other experiences.
Then spend less time online.
