It is a matter of interest.If you really have the interest and you feel it is desirable to meet the man then artrange for a visit formally and if he agrees to it then the deed is done. Thank you\nI. G.  Nigeria

i don't think so. you definitely don't know each other well enough yet. it takes years of getting to know each other and experiences and getting through hard times before you can be sure. don't jump to any conclusions too quickly and just see how things go.

It depends a lot on the people.  I have 2 friends who live very far away.  The first got married, had a kid, & has changed a lot since moving.  So, naturally, our friendship has changed & we aren't as close, even though we have nothing against each other & would still be there for each other in a crunch.\nAs for the other one, he & I are actually closer since he moved away.  We stay in touch, talking at least once a week, & plan to take a cross country road trip next year.  He & I are both unmarried, have no kids, & are career-oriented, so our continued similarities probably help maintain our friendship.\nHe has noticed this as well, because he isn't as close to some people he used to be really close to in the past.  As some of his friends have gotten married & had kids, they don't seem to have time for him anymore, & have less in common.  With their focus on their families, they have less to talk about with guys who are still hanging out & chasing girls on the weekends.

I met a guy online 6 years ago and fell in love with him that very night. We talked online daily and on the phone every Friday night and Sunday afternoon. 2 years later he flew here to meet me. I will never ever forget seeing him for the very first time.  My heart was pounding so hard I could hardly breathe. Words cannot express the love I felt at that very moment.\n\nRemember...\nIt takes time to know people.  To know if they are for real.\nAnd always meet in a public place for the first few times.  Trust your gut feeling, mine never lets me down.\n\nGood luck and be careful.

I myself have a long distance relationship. I'm in Canada and hes in Georgia, USA. People say these tpyes of relationships can't work out because of such the long distance, but I tell you they're wrong. We talk every night  on the phone and use our webcams to see eachother as much as possible. We get to see eachother in person every other month or so for up to 3 weeks at a time. Just being able to talk to him and see him on cam helps so much when we cant be together in person. I don't know what else to tell you as far as to make it easier. I know how hard it can be, but really, thats all the advice I can give you. Hope it helps!

try using web cams to talk to him, and really really get to know him before meeting him. Talk on the phone also, and if you do ever meet him meet with him with a group of friends or in a safe place.

I took the plane to another continent to spend 5 days with my someone I had been chatting with over the Internet for four months. It was our first meeting, it was simply amazing and felt so natural. I miss him so much... he is coming over here for summer. Plane tickets aren't cheap, but love is worth more then anything.

you left the country and she found out where you live/your new phone #?\nI severely doubt that this girl is capable of that.  Nonetheless, change your numbers, change your email addresses, and dont contact her, you should be fine.

It is very possible that it was a bit too much too fast for her.  She may have just wanted to chat more and get to know you online....meeting in person is very scary for some.....I suggest you try telling her you will take it slower if that is better for her...no rush

Stay in touch all the time if possible via webcam, e-mails and such. Having contact doesn't make things seem to drag between the time you have before you see them in person again.

arrange a vacation where you go to cali to see her once a yr. she will have to do the same and see you once a year. but distance doesn't really seperate you guys, it just brings you guys closer together. what i said about the vacatino was onli a suggestion. but you guys really hav to find a way to meet each other. good luck

Look its easy you keep going and you keep falling in love, i meet someone the same why and its great dont worry if theres a will theres away. Country man expression but just take one day at a time keep talking things will work out a soon you both will be closer than 1,000's of miles apart so start saving. Your going to Europe best wish to you.

it's just been two meetings. I'd suggest you take it slow, but meet him more often if possible & see how it goes.

Long distance relationships are hard to maintain. I don't think there is a specific length of time you should wait because I don't believe you should wait at all. It sounds like you need to just live your life and not count on this fellow being "the one." Like my Ma used to say-"there are a lot of fish in the sea". If it is meant to work out things will progress but why not get to know someone who lives close. There is a lot to say for building a relationship based on spending time together doing things not just talking or e-mailing each other. LOL

If the two of you have not met in person, you would be wise to visit each others countries first and get to know each other in person before making plans for marriage.  Hopefully it will work out for you, but you cannot know until you have spent time together in person, and really gotten to know each other.\n\nI agree, get a tourist visa first.  Seems you are putting the cart before the horse here.  Then, when the time comes to apply for immigration status, you will have everything covered and be ready to go.\n\nGood luck!

SNAP!!!!!!\n\ndid the same thing with a guy i met on her too. stayed up all hours just chatting about stuff and listing old songs! \n\nok, here's what i think. when you meet someone you just 'click' with, it is easy to get carried away with yourself and be consumed with it all. thats not to say that there is not anything serious there. all i am saying is reality is often different to fantasy.\n\nme and the guy i'm still chatting too met a couple of weeks ago. he is a great guy but i think we both felt that reality was a little different. we still chat and i am due to see him again shortly.\n\nwhat we decided was to take things slowly, get to know eachother better as friends as see what develops from that. it's the most sensible option i think.

Oh dear... My husband and I meet on yahoo chat... We both fell in love with each other, but were very busy with work and school... we were two stats away from each other... we didn't want to beak each-others hearts, so we decided to be friends... two years went by, and he ended up driving to meet me. It was suppose to only be for a week, but he ended up staying and moving in with me... \n\nYou are not being selfish. Long distant relationships are hard. A large part of being in love is the physical connection with each-other. It is only natural that you want to meet him, to hold his hand and to kiss him. His schooling is important to him, and it shows how much you care for him by understanding that.\n\nI say be friends... continue on with your life... if it is meant to be that you two are suppose to be more than friends one of you will end up with the opportunity to get on the plane so you two can meet.
