I think you should tell your parents. Being in love with a person you've never met before is neither unreal or unnatural but you just have to be careful. Also, it is also hard to discern whether you really like this person, because some people seem to be nicer online. I mean, they only show one side of themselves. Not that they do it on purpose, but sometimes, people are so stressed in their daily lives that they seek escapism online, and they'll tend to change their image a bit to live a life they can't in reality. I myself feel that it's easier to be nicer to everyone online.
The important thing is, you'll have to meet up with him frequently (preferably with your parents as it's safer) to really get to know this person up close.
