I can offer advice to people who are in long distance or a different cultural online relationship as I have experienced both. I know how hard it can be and how heartbreaking it can be but I also know how rewarding they can be. i live in australia so depending where you live my time frame for answering may differ but i will try to answer within 24 hours of receiving your question.

Experience
I have experience with online relationships and having friends who are in one or have had them, I know the highs and lows that can come from being in one, especially long distance. I have been online for five years and met many people from different cultures.

How to Have an Online Relationship - 3 year online love USA --Australia?


Expert: vanessaoz - 5/4/2009

Question
I have been really close friends with a lovely guy in America ,Were both 21 years old  and I’m in Australia.

we  have spent many years talking on msn and on the phone for hours and we always talked about finally getting to meet one day.  We got really close and eventually became boyfriend and girlfriend.
I love him so much and I want to be with him. His always been there for me for the last few years through everything, we know each other so well.

I’m going over to America; I have got an opportunity to work .I want to be with him so much and start my life with him, His everything to me!
I definitely want to spend a good amount of time with him but..... His in Washington now and when I finally go over his moving to Alaska (in the middle of no where)   His going to be further away when I come over! Cos he wants to be with his family and take care of them --- I will be in North Carolina and under strict working conditions so I won’t be able to move around.

He said He will come and visit me occasionally ,when he can,  but that’s not what I want!!!!!!!  I love him, I don’t want to go through finally being so close to him in USA and still be apart and never be able to see him or be with him in person
I love him we both want this to happen after 3 long years
WHAT ON EARTH DO I DO!????  

Answer
hi katherine,

i do understand to some degree what your going through as i was in a relationship with a guy in south carolina and i live in australia. i had planned to go over after six years and he died seven months before i could get there to be with him. i can understand how badly you want to be close to him and be able to experience life together.

you really now have to decide whether its worth moving over, the positive is, at least your both in the same hemisphere, but i know you want more then that.

there is a possibilty that when you actually meet things may not work out, this often happens with online relationships. your still both  young and if i was you, i would move over to experience life in another country and let him come to meet you.

if it works out then thats great, if not then you can enjoy the time you have there and maybe meet someone else.

i would look at this as an adventure and take the opportunity that is offered to me.

only you can make the decision, i wish you well,
good luck
