Ah, young love.

My personal advice, horrible as it may sound, would be to keep some perspective. Relationships are hard, and long distance relationships are really hard. When you're young, and especially if you (like many of us) feel like you have problems dealing with women, the idea of an internet relationship can be really enticing. It gives you the opportunity to develop an emotional connection with someone without a lot of the terror that can be involved in the formation of a traditional relationship. That said, it's worth keeping in mind that while there are exceptions very few young relationships ultimately make it. Not for lack of want or trying, I was sixteen once, I remember thinking I'd be with the girl I was with then forever, and now I look back and wonder how I could've been interested in her to start with.

Life is like that sometimes, sad as that is. So my advice (which you're free to ignore, and which I would bet you probably will) is to keep some perspective, to realize that getting out to see this girl may not be of the vital importance it feels like it is of right now, and to think about looking for someone a little closer to make some memories with.

Get a canoe and show these yanks what Aussies are capable of!

Alternately, the internet provides many methods for keeping in contact, or just keeping an eye out for cheap air fares either way.

I'm a canadian with a boyfriend in america, my advice is to save and do everytrhing you can to keep that relationship alive. Watch movies together and talk about them or riff on them via chat. Use Skype, play games online together if you can. Treat this like a real relationship.

Hmm, well I'll suggest you get yourself a new girlfriend, or better yet take this advice: I can't say it any better then this.

I agree with this guy.

Stay in school keep contact over the internet if you find it really necessary but seriously just focus on school; education that can lead to your career > girl from the internet you have never met.

How well do you know this girl? Only if you're sure you absolutely love this girl more than anything in the world would i advise going halfway across the world to meet her.

If not, talk with her on skype or something for a while (a few months maybe) before you know you're ready to commit yourself to a herculian task such as this.

Then and ONLY then should you consider making the trip.

I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm being a jerk, but it's more than likely not going to last. By all means do keep in touch with her, just don't burn too much money on the relationship (travelling is expensive). You'll regret it after the breakup.

I'm not saying a long distance relationship can't work, it's just that dating when you're very young is going to fail, and the distance is going to make that happen easier.

Have fun but don't get your hopes up, and focus on school. That's all the advice I have.

Ever had to visit him just to prove your existence to his friends?

OT: Personally I wouldn't put myself through the pain of a long distance relationship.

My cousin dated a guy in Ireland once and now they are married however she had to move there leaving everything behind. My point here is it can work but there is no future for a relationship if one of you isnt willing to move so dont waste your money unless you plan to move to the other side of the world and leave all your friends and family behind elsewise your wasting your time and money
