She lives so far away...

[Emotaku]

I know what you all are gonna think when i say that I met a girl online. I know what she looks like and we talk on the phone everyday. We spend alot of hours everyday chatting online. We have both admitted very personal things and talk to eachother so freely about anything. Problem is, she lives 1600 miles away. We both love eachother and we would do anything to meet. She plans to hopefully work and beg her parents if she can come here during christmas break which is a whole 5 months from now. i've barely slept or eaten in days. and if we aren't lucky i may not even see her until next summer vacation. we both promised that we would wait for eachother as long as it takes. But even after we meet we have to part again. I live in NY and she lives in Canada. i don't have a passport but she does and is willing to work for the money. I'm willing to help pay as much as i can for her. What can I possibly do?

There's nothing much you can do, but wait.

If you ever do meet her in person, then what? Have you thought what will happen once she goes back? Have you thought beyond meeting her? How old are the two of you?

How old are the two of you?

Clearly not old enough to think logically...

[Citycat]

Get a passport and the money to go to Canada.

I don't have a problem with people meeting online, but your situation is really not that well thought out. You both have no idea when you would be able to actually meet. And I hate to break it to you, but how you two act on the phone is most likely not how you'll act in person. It's completely different. Would she be willing to live in the US? Would you be willing to live in Canada? Are you shy in real life and have a hard time meeting women?

I am eager to know how old both of you are.

[kalupe]

just WAIT. geez, when you meet see if everything turns out fine.. since both of you are willing to make things work anyway, and it does look attainable from how you said things are..

go make some money, get a passport and go meet her. done.

I'd guess they're both under 18 or at least she is.

Maybe that's why the ad on this page is a support group for moms?

[Junket]

Let her come down for Christmas?

Yeah, right.

No right-minded parent would let their daughter, of all things, go to a different country to meet some guy.

No way.

[Emotaku]

she will be 18 in a few months and then she is coming here. ill be 17 in a month

It obviously doesn't matter whether she's 18 or not because you've said she's going to beg her parents to come here.

You need to understand that distance is incredibly different and nearly impossible when there's no definite ending date. Don't get your hopes up.

[Aegis]

lol...no offense, but keep your options open locally...when this doesn't pan out, you'll be glad if you manage to get a local girl by the time you two realize it's just plain ridiculous...rofl

[starbuck]

Things will be different when you're both in your 20's. Right now the fact that you are both teenagers is going to complicate things. Her parents will probably NOT be ok with her coming to visit you even when she is 18.

It's sweet that feel like you love each other, but you're both so young. You have so many experiences ahead of you. Do the two of you not plan on going to college?

They don't call it puppy love for nothin'.
