My GF met me in a chatroom! And I seriously don't think I could even have a better GF! It was destiny I guess... Even stranger! I like the number 27 and she likes the number 212! The distance from the airport here to her airport is 2367.9 miles and 2+3+6+7+9=27! Also even stanger! The distance from her house to my house is 2212 miles! Yeah she lives really far away but I'm going to be with her on the 6th of january. Everybody has been telling me I'll be making a huge mistake if I go but don't care.

I don't think you are making a mistake but do be aware that it's a 'trial' meeting. People may be genuine and honest online (or think they are) but it really is quite another thing to meet in person. Both of you should see it as another stage in your relationship and be honest about your impressions.
Meeting a soul-mate online is beautiful and compelling but it's as well to be aware that it's really very different from the way that we normally meet people. Usually, we are attracted to them physically and by many little signs that simply don't convey on the Internet (or even by phone) ... things like unconscious gestures and subtle tones of voice. Then comes the meeting and dating and chatting, during which time we are constantly deciding whether we like the person and whether we like them a lot. On the Internet, we tend to meet someone's 'mind' before we have done all this person-to-person interaction.
I am not saying that it is wrong or that relationships made over the Internet are bound to fail - I know several people who met that way and are very happy. What I am saying is that you should be aware of the pitfalls and differences so that you are better equipped to deal with them.
Good luck to you both!

Well we never talk on the internet anymore... We always talk on the phone now. She doesn't even have internet anymore. We talk all the time though! ALL THE TIME! But that's just because she's not working right now.. But she's going to be working by the time I get there and I will be working too if I can ever actually find a job over there... If nothing else I'll work at the McDonald's that's a 5 minute walk away. But that's a last resort. We'll both be going to college at the same place too.
Now I can say I've definitly been very attracted to girls in person and I've liked a few but I've never ever felt this any of them other girls. And If I am already this happy with her now not even being able to see her or touch her... I can only imagine that things will get even better. I have saw her on webcam... So I've saw her but I can't see her whenever I want.

Lots of people are going to say its a mistake.. Dont listen to them! imo ppl who say interent relationships dont work, are kind of limiting theirselves to the ppl who live around them or something.. I think that getting to know someone over the interent is great. People are less shy over the interent, so you get to know her better! Have fun meeting your girlfriend, and dont let anyones opinion bring youdown! :D!

Theonerm, if you ever get on here again, I guess you have met by now. It would be nice to know how it went and, especially, whether you think my caveats are justified - that meeting on the Internet is different in many respects from meeting in the normal way (which is not to say, of course, that a good relationship can't be built: as I say, I know several cases where it has worked).
