You should go and find out the truth. Until you do you won't be in peace - that much I can tell. Once that's done, as you said, you will be able to focus more on your own plans. Just don't make a mistake that's going to take you too long to recover. I do feel though that you have gone very far mentally and it's always very attractive when the person you are in love with acts so mysteriously. It gets the job done and it keeps you engaged.
I think your friend who doesn't find him vague or confused just wants to help you two out as much as possible and wants to see you happy, so she's unable to see it right now. She's more focused on what you want. Two people who are truly in love don't carry any mixed emotion as they tend to be very sure of each other but then again, there are complicated examples as well, but I do believe in the end love tends to trump them all.
It's best not to assume anything and see everything for real. I am not sure if it's really a good idea to not let him know that you are going there with a different intent this time. Not sure if he's going to like it or if it's going to freak him out but still, you must do what feels right.
I don't think it's very strange that he never had a true girlfriend. He has problems with commitments and he'll be like that until time starts to run out on him. I am assuming here however but I know guys very well -- having been in relationships all my life, you know.
I honestly hope it all works out for you if this is something you truly want. All the best, Nikki!
The plan is to surprise him in a couple of weeks. He wants someone for spontaneous dinner and movie dates? He will have one and I'm sure he won't say no. Hahaha. Then I will ask him a bit more directly about his feelings although I already know the answer. It will be the same answer that I get from him all the time. He has a problem with the distance, I don't. Same old story again.
My friend doesn't really know how to ask him what he really wants. They are just doing chit-chat, talk a lot about me but just random stuff. She says that most likely he wouldn't tell her the truth anyway because he knows we are talking a lot together and also about him.
I hope everything will be fine although I don't even know if I'm doing the right thing in going there again. I will just switch off my brain and do it. I can still regret it afterwards.
have safe journey Nikki and have a blast.
Croatia is a beautiful.
Thank you. It's really beautiful. I'm looking forward to it.
Oh dear. I wonder what kind of 'illegal substance' that shampoo contains but hopefully it's not something too illegal. If there's a fine then make your friend pay for it. I hope there are no other penalties involved. Maybe you shouldn't do these kind of favours where there's so much risk involved.
As to your guy, don't get mad at me (lol) but it seems he used that as an excuse to get in touch with you to see how you were but mostly because he was ****. I know for sure that some people or maybe a lot of them are having sex on Skype!
Let the record show please that I am not one of them. 
It was an anti-dandruff shampoo and it contained some kind of substance which is a prescription drug in the European Union. I know that there are shampoos that you need a prescription for (had problems with hair loss when I was a teenager) so I would always be extra careful when ordering something like that especially from "exotic" countries. Unfortunately that friend (ex-friend now) was stupid enough not to check where it was coming from and forgot to change the shipping address on Ebay.

I will get away with paying a fine (which HE has to pay for me). I just hope it won't happen again.
Yeah, actually I know about the fun time you can have on Skype. It was just that he was joking about calling a lady friend of his and asking her to have sex with him because I was too far away and wouldn't come back until summer. In the beginning he made it sound real, then he said it was a joke. I didn't really believe it anyway because he doesn't have such kind of female friends. I just found it uncalled for especially with my plans of seeing him soon (which he doesn't know about yet).
Ah and he kinda found a lesbian girl for a threesome. Would have laughed about it if he hadn't told me that he sent her a few pics of me.
These 2 things kinda made me mad at him.
