I am in love with a guy I met online?

[Missan]

I will answer this from personal experience. I'm 22 almost 23 soon and I meet my now is husband online. We were 5000 miles apart. At that time I was 15 he was 18. We meet also by 100% accident. But we fell in love and started to talk to each other whenever we could, saw each other on photos, web-camera and even phone sometimes.
Now almost 8 years later we are husband and wife since the beginning of this year. We could not meet each other in real life before I was 20 because of economic reasons so that is one thing to consider.
I have to be separated from my husband a short time now though because my country says he has to ask for a resident permit outside the country. But that is maximal 3 months.

So find the real deal can happen on online and when you are young but you need to consider a few things.
1. The waiting.... Oh god the waiting to see each other....
2. If you are from different countries then it is permit and other shit involve (my case) But by your writing I would guess you are both from the states?

So conclusion you need to have lots of patience with this relationship and Lots LOTS of trust.
But if everything works out it will bloom beautifully ^^

Good luck to you two!
