Ok so I am going to come at this from a different angle. If you are happy as things are, if this is not about you meeting and it is just face value here is my view. I had a wonderful online relationship that lasted two and a half years, I still adore the bloke and if our lives we a little easier I would move up there next week as it stands I can't and he can't so we are just friends. We never lost the excitement of it while it was online, we both enjoyed talking to each other and did a LOT. We used to set up dates where I would dress up and make an effort for the webcam or whatever, I never doubted his interest in me, and it is concerning to me that you doubt his, because you need to feel appreciated regardless of the form of relationship. I wonder what it is that he does that makes you doubt his interest? I also wonder if you speak on the phone, if not that is a really good dimension also.
I think hope is something that helps to maintain online relationships, the prospect of meeting gives you something to talk about, short term the 'dates' can occupy planning and hope and all that kind of thing. I really think you need to work out what he is wanting from you though, and also what you are getting from it, if it makes you happy and is fulfilling then more power to you.
As for other comments people have made, the idea of liking the internet version not the reality, does it matter? How many people are with someone for the fantasy? Also the fact that it will end, yeah most relationships do.
