BTW, Given your morals, methinks you should seriously rethink being in a serious relationship w/ a bisexual. That will only cause problems later on, as you both have different concepts of morality.

EDIT: So are you willing to fvck her before you are married??? if so, I think your morality is a bit off. (hmm, won't masturbate but no problem w/ premarital sex... sounds fairly hypocritical to me)


i think you dont understand. im not willing just yet to go down there and have sex with her...

Maybe this was answered before, but have you talked to her on the phone? Have you hinted her that you would like to meet her?

7,500,000 is a lot of women. If you've actually exhausted such a vast resource, then go to another city. I'm sure you've got a few redeeming qualities that will make you attractive. I didn't get laid or have a girlfriend until I was 21, for fvck's sake. I probably had even less chance of being happily married than you do, but somehow it happened for me.

It's all about finding the right woman, which is not going to be a 16 year old chick 5000 miles away that you've only talked to online, unless this is a bad movie.

I can't decide what to quote.. there's too much!

nothin' wrong with having conservative moral standards, walleye.. you're not likely to find happiness with someone who doesn't share them, though.

putting a maternal spin on this whole thing since you seem to be lacking a decent mother figure to do this for you.. you and this little girl (she's 15!) can cook up all the plans in the world and you can spend tons of money to go to australia (tons of money!) and see her but the odds of actually seeing her need to be considered. she's 15! so she's gonna say what? hey mom, this guy I met on the internet is flyin' over from the US to hang out with me for a while? well.. if she was mine.. we'd be on vacation somewhere else when you got there and there'd be an off duty cop house-sitting.

file this little gal in the pen-pal folder.. go out and have some fun with people who share your values. you'll find the right girl sooner or later.. probably when you stop lookin' for her.

The age and location are the problem. If it was a three year difference and you both were in your 20's there would be no problem. Since, you nor her are, you are fvcked. Secondly, she lives a LOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG way away. Don't put yourself through it. There is nothing wrong with talking to her, but if you keep having feelings for her you are fvcked up. You might have a lot in common and become friends, but that is all you should do. Anything more is a mental sickness.

No and honestly I think you're wasting precious hours of your life staying in such a tight contact with somebody on a different continent in this manner. People can be much different online than in real life.

I remember when I was a teen and so freaking desperate that I couldn't approach things rationally too :eek:

i doubt any of you would understand. you're too busy trying to find 2 chicks at the same time... something i detest.

how's this....you give me her screen name and contact info, and when i go to australia next month i'll go fvck her brains out along w/ her best friend. there, that settles it.

get some help.

It's not possible to fall in love via MSN Messenger. Once you meet this person, you may not feel the same for this person as you did before.

i think you can fall in love via messengers.. thing is, that might not be the way they are in real life, so you gotta make sure... and the distance is gonna make it not work.. or make it really hard.. and it doesn't sound like she's gonna want to wait for you to visit before she gets on another guy (or girl) in a japanese car blastin his (or her) stereo... all i gotta say is good luck man

Let me get this straight.....you want to visit someone when you cannot even pick up the phone and call her? This thread is more pathetic than Deeko's :D

you know, when i was around 12 or so, when me and my buddy were bored we would go on aol pretending we were a chick i used to think it was funny as hell. 20 bucks says "she" is just a couple of 13 year old boys laughing there asses off at how long theyve been able to pull you along.

then they're really good at dressing up like a chick... and doing it over webcam... and having a mother come in to the scene. everything lends credibility to her, not to your theory.

Sounds like you are completely infatuated with this girl. My advice is to turn off your computer, don't sign onto MSN messenger, and just go out and meet girls around you. Trust me... I thought I fell in love with a girl online, it didn't work out too pretty. Save yourself the hassle and realize that you ARE NOT in love with her and that rather you have made her into the perfect girl in your mind.

If you choose to visit her, you will find that, in reality, she will fall far below your expectations and that, using the standard you established with this girl, you wont find any real world woman that compares.
