Would you be concerned if an online person told you they loved you w/out meeting

face to face first? I met a guy online about 1.5 years ago. For the first .5 yr we barely ever talked. After that for some unknown reason we just started talking more, maybe once a week. Then, we started talking a lot, sometimes everyday. Many of these conversations lasted an hour or more. At one point, a few months ago, this guy tells me he has feelings for me. Now he's telling me he loves me, but we have never met in person; never chatted with web cam (because my comp. won't let us), never talked on the phone (reason for this too), and he's never seen my picture yet, although I have seen his and described to him how I look. But it makes me uncomfortable when he tells me he loves me because reality wise, we don't know each other that much (I don't even know how many siblings he has nor him me!). Secondly, he might find himself unattracted to me once he sees what I look like. He does seem to sincerely like me though. (And for the record, 1) he is not after a green card and there are several indications of why he isn't. 2) he is who he is because I've chacked up on him without his knowing and 3) due to religious beliefs he knows nothing would ever happen together physically unless we are married...and his religious beliefs are the same as mine and he does practice his religion.)
So, what do you think about the situation?

And for the record, no we did not meet on a dating site; this was accidental. Prior to this I was always one of those people who though, how can you date online?
