"Ive never met her"?????????????

Is this an internet thing????

She's 'perfect' and you have never met her????? I don't think so - no body is perfect.

All you can do is breathe in, breathe out and take that plunge from fantasyland (internet only) to what others like to call "real life" (but its all real so I call it face-to-face).

It will either migrate into something that works in person or it won't.

Let go of so much expectation.
Let go of so much apprehension.
Let go of everything you can.

Just

be

you .......(the same one she liked online)

I personnaly smile when you say you're dating when you've never seen each other in person.

I agree with Wildcat : how can you say she's perfect when you've never really seen her ( in person, not chatting on MSN ) ?

First, nobody's perfect. There are body imperfections ( too small, too tall, too fat, too skinny, small breasts, wide nose...).
And then there is personnality : once you really date someone ( meaning : going out, doing some activities together, meeting the family....), you will realize that you will have to compromise. And it's even worse when you move and live together !

All that to say : if she rejects you just because you're ugly ( you said it, but I don't think that's true, everybody has insecurities, except Angelina or Brad ), then shes' not worth your time.
Just be yourself. Don't act like somebody else : if you start it, you'll have to go on !

isnt this the risk you take with internet relationships?

Alright buddy... first you need to just relax. Consider this: she must be VERY interested in meeting you if she is going to FLY TO ENGLAND just to meet up with you for a week! Really, dont worry... she obviously is already interested. There is no need to feel afraid.

Sure your gonna be a little nervous... she will be, too! You can be guaranteed that!!

I met a girl online... she was 4 years my senior. I ended up flying to L.A. (which is about 350 miles away) to meet her for a weekend. She was older than me, more sucessful than me, out of my league as far as I am concerned... BUT, staying true to myself, I didnt let that get in the way. I met her, we had a FABULOUS time... I ended visiting her again months later and had another FABULOUS weekend together.

We never "dated" since we lived 350 miles apart and I knew that would never work for me... but I can say that I love that girl! We still talk to this day and we are great friends.

Internet relationships will always be risky (Im not even going to mention some of the "other" times I have met girls online!!) but they can be a lot of fun and beneficial. I know a couple that is now very happily married. They met online and moved to be with eachother.

Dont get your hopes up but just relax, have fun, and most importantly BE YOURSELF!!

If I understand your post correctly you haven't even met this girl face-to-face yet and you claim that you've been "dating for 4 months." She has to "fly to England" to meet you so I presume that she lives in another continent. I hate to burst your bubble but what kind of a "chance" do you expect to have with a girl who lives thousands of miles away and you haven't even met in person yet. Certainly having an "e-pen pal" is nice and the fact that you'll have the opportunity to meet her in person makes it even nicer. Unfortunately that's all this really is, however. It sounds like you're building yourself up for a big letdown. Establishing a "relationship" with someone via the internet who lives on another continent really isn't the way to find anything real and lasting.

I met the man I am going to marry next year on the internet and we dated online for about six months before we met face to face and it really wasn't that bad... Once you see her your apprehensions are going to go away for the most part, and the fact that she's already stopping to see you speaks volumes for the trust she has for you. Just be who you are and she'll be who she is... I hope that it works out for you. I traveled 2,300 miles to meet my guy so I don't think that you have anything to worry about.

The best advice. Is BE YOURSELF. The way you have been on the webcame and writing. Be the same person. Relax and breath and enjoy the meeting. Do not fret over something going wrong when nothing has. There is no garantees in life so just make the best of the experiance and whatever comes your way will.

I agree with everyone, no matter how great and beautiful she may be remember not to loose your own identity in the process of becoming or impressing her..be you and it will all work out for the best! Good Luck!
