I've Fallen in love with a girl in another country

[ALC1987]

Hello everyone,

I am in a long distance relationship

So here is my story

I have met a girl on chat and we have been talking as friends for a couple of months

one day she went on a vacation for 3 months then she starts to come online not that much

in that time i have realized how much i miss her in a way that i could not stop thinking of her

I have never thought i will miss her unless when she is away

I realized i am in love with here, But i did not tell her the truth because i have waited for the right time

when she came back i have told her everything

after couple of months she starts to fall in love with me and i have felt that , Then she told me she loves me very much

The problem is that she is from another country and so far from me

I love her very much i could not stop thinking of her ,

I know some of you may tell me that it's not possible to love a girl on chat but i do really love her

we have seen each other on cam talking almost everyday

sometimes when we fight it makes me feel very depressed and i have tears

I don't know why but I am very emotional guy and love her very much

I am calling her 2 or 3 times a week, As well as chatting online everyday

We have been together nearly 2 years now

When i hear her voice i feel very safe and feel her near me even though the far distance between us

I can not end the relationship it hurts me when we are a part as we have separated for some days and i felt how much it hurts me

I am missing her like a crazy every moment

So what i have to do?

A day may come and i will see her?

is there a hope with this relationship
I am really confused and sometimes i feel hopeless

Somebody out there may help me and give me some hope or tell me what should i do

You are not in love, it's called "infatuation". Love takes years to build. Infatuation is what you have when you first meet someone and get to know them. It is also called "puppy love".

Been there, done that.

If that the case , How many years are enough to be called love?
do i have to be there to be in love?
i don't think so
Could you list the difference between true love and infatuation?
aren't both have the same feelings toward somebody?
