long distance relationship

Not open for further replies.
Alright, so here is my story. Almost everyday now I talk to this girl from Germany online. We have been doing this for a while. At first it was just normal, but now we both really like each other. I am trying to get into the foreign exchange program for my senior year (I'm a junior now). I planned to get in the foreign exchange program before I even met her online. This is actually quite ironic since she just graduated from the high school I'm going to go to when I enter the foreign exchange program, and she lives in the same city I'm going to.

I'm 17 and she is 19. She has on numerous occasions called me cute, sweet, attractive, nice, etc. I have also complimented her several times. We both have so much in common too. We love to talk to each other and I am the one who convinced her to break up with her boyfriend who kept hurting her and didn't even care about her. Please note that I am pretty sure I'm not the rebound guy. I didn't want to do anything because I thought that online dating was a bad idea, but then my best friend started doing it.

In fact, my best friend has shown me that people can indeed fall in love if they never met in person. Also, don't say something like "she is probably a 40 year old man", because she isn't (I have a friend in real life who is in the foreign exchange program and she met her when she was in Germany). She is a beautiful, intelligent young woman, and a wonderful person. Of course, when I meet her in real life once I go through the foreign exchange program, I will meet her in a public place, just to be safe. I am technically an adult under Missouri law, so it's not illegal. We won't be having any sex or anything (atleast not until we both decide that we are old enough). If I wait until I get to Germany my senior year, it might be too late, since she might think I have lost interest in her and find someone else. I'm horribly scared she will reject me, but I hope she won't. I am truly in love with her and want to be with this girl.

So I plan on asking her out, but I don't know how to go about doing so. I can't do it in person, since there is kind of an ocean and lots of land in the way, so should I just send her a message on Facebook? Or should I send her a Facebook Chat IM? What should I say to her when I ask her? I am fully committed to this girl and know the risks and disadvantages of online dating (primarily the fact that you can't physically be with the person most of the time). I will be going to Germany though in less than a year (probably around like August 2010, but possibly on January 3, 2011), and I will stay there for an entire semester. Please don't say anything like "you only have two years to get with her because of 2012", because 2012 is just a hoax and I don't believe in stupid mass hysteria hoaxes. So what should I do and how should I go about it?
 
Too bad, I was on the fence before.
Really, though, I think it's becoming obvious.
On the other hand, there are people out there who are...like this.
Likely, I'm right in my feelings.
Lol, though.
 
I just sent her this message (that's her name I censored, in case your wondering). What do you think of the message, think it's well written (I told her how I really felt)?

*censored*, I love how we always talk, I love your smile, I love your kindness, I respect your beauty and your intelligence, and I love everything about you. You are such a wonderful person. Do you want to online date each other? Then when I get to Germany (assuming my foreign exchange student application gets accepted, but if it doesn't, I'll go there after high school for you), we can meet in person. We could use Skype or something to video and voice chat with each other. I will be going to Germany in less than six months if my 1st semester application gets accepted. But if it doesn't, then I will apply for second semester, and arrive on January 3, 2011 (perhaps a little sooner). You are such a wonderful person. I really care about and love you. I'm a grown man now (according to Missouri law), and so it's legal for us to be in a relationship. There won't be any sex or "cybersex" or anything, sorry, but I feel as though I am too young for this at this time though. I think that we should atleast give online dating a shot. I can't wait for us to meet in person. So, what do you say?
 
You should ask someone out from your school or something. At your age long distance relationships are pointless. For the love of God why did you send that message!? I will be shocked if you hear from her again...bad move.
 
With that age difference, wouldn't she have to be some sort of Nazi pedophile to be interested in you?

(Sorry, dude - I couldn't resist. :lol:)

So it's okay for you to pursue a long-distance relationship with someone in another continent, but it's not okay for your friend to pursue a long-distance relationship with someone from another state?
 
Kevin, or admiralxgmx, or whoever else you are, please take your ridiculous stories to another forum, if there are any left that you haven't been banned from yet.
