Never met but saying "I love you" - please read?

The thing about love is that it doesn't need a face-to-face encounter. People have been falling in love via letters and arranged marriages for centuries so what's the big deal if he's using Twitter? It's just today's version of a letter. With that said, I think it's a good idea for him to see this girl simply because everyone has to learn their own way. One of two things is going to happen here: (1) He is going to travel to London to see her and fall madly in love and have a great relationship for years to come or; (2) He will arrive and nothing will come of it either because she doesn't like him or she doesn't like her. The worst thing that could happen is that he needs help getting back home and that's why I encourage you to allow him some freedom as this will help him grow as a man. The best thing you can do as his family is be supportive of his endeavors. -El
