    i can't believe this happened to me to be honest. I've completely fallen for a girl the same age online on yahoo messenger. We both do the same courses at uni and are both in the same years aswell. we started talking two months ago. We've exchanged photos, talked on skype and talked about everything really. she graduates in may and is coming to ireland for 3 weeks in june as a graduation present from her parents. I'm only 21 and have never felt this way about a girl ever before. But am i stupid in thinking this could work ? Should i just give up now before i get hurt. I don't think i could move to the states permanently as i'd miss my family and friends too much. I'm not sure about her really but i imagine it would be tough for her too. Any help much appreciated.

    Dont bank on anything until you've met her in real life. Yes you can get to know someone well on the internet, but there are still aspects of personality, their life etc that can't be portrayed, even through Skype. It's very easy to form an emotional attachment to someone, particularly if you're feeling lonely, and if they reciprocate your feelings. But wait until real life.

    See how the visit goes and take things from there. Personally, that distance couldn't and wouldn't work for me,and moving wouldn't be an option.

    Good luck with whatever you decide.

    I wouldn't give up before you have even met - but I'd keep a realistic head on. You seem to be well aware of the pitfalls in internet-dating Vs real life, just keep that in mind and proceed with caution - but do proceed, it would be silly not to! Best of luck.

    duckielover, in common with most forums on boards, we don't permit text speak here. Please don't use it again in future. Thanks.
