Have you ever been in a serious online relationship? (advice??)?

My question(s): Have you ever been in a serious relationship with someone you had (originally) met online? What tips would you give for making one work?





My story: I'm 15, my girlfriend is 13 %26amp; 1/2. We've been going out since June 3rd 2009. I met her on an online game about 6 months ago. Ever since I met her I've been crazy about her. She's funny, VERY pretty, sweet. And I know she's not some old pervert - I've seen her on webcam before :P. She's not comfortable with dating guys in real life... She really likes me, and I really like her. But the sad thing is we'll probably never meet as we're young and she lives 720 miles away and if we ever do, it will be like WAY in the future! It really depresses me because I love her so much and she's so beautiful and unique... Although I feel I'm not being fair to her because she's in public school where she lives and she says she gets asked out by guys alot. She says she tells them no because she loves me. although again. I'm home schooled, and thus I have no real life friends. I would normally never date online like this for obvious reasons but I've grown so close to her so fast. She's anything I could ever dream for. I'm just trying to find a way to better make this relationship work. Something to make us feel closer (in distance). I don't have a cell phone (strict parents) so I can't call her. I feel like if I ask her to go on cam I'm bothering her cause she most likely doesn't want to most of the time :P... I really trust her, and I really love her. I really want it to work. But IM conversations are getting boring...we're BOTH running out of things to say! :P I don't want to let her go. How can I keep from losing her, I really don't want us drifting apart/losing interest in eachother because we really have something. She's my dream girl :(


Advice please!





Thx,

Jason,





I've never been in a serious online relationship, just joke ones. I'm currently single and proud. It appears both you and your girlfriend are still very young. Have you asked her how she feels about the relationship? Maybe she's just as worried as you. My advice is: you've got your whole life ahead of you to plan out relationships and families etc., why now in youth? Enjoy being young whilst you still can, youthhood is a minor spec compared to the next part of your life. I would just be good friends with her and see how things work out. One day you two may get back together again, but the difference is you'll both be old and wise enough to map out your lives together.





Hope I've helped,

No, I'm not the kind of person who does that. Also I am only 13.
