I have a boyfriend in australia and I live in the u.s. we want to meet but we live too far away. He's not having a rugby tournament here any tome soon, and I don't have the money to fly there. What should we do?

Get jobs? Save money?

Which boyfriend is this?
The one from January, or the one from a month ago?
You are a teenager. You don't have money. What do you think strangers online are going to be able to say to pull a rabbit out of a hat?
My advice is to be a self sufficient woman who can make her own way in the world before you glom onto guys.
I realize that will fall on deaf ears. I wasn't much different when I was young, but I wish I had had someone convince me then.

No, he is not a boyfriend, he is a stranger you have meet online. He may not even be the person he says he is. I found my 12 year old son, with a Facebook profile, of a 20 year old, ** I have dealt with that.*** but about 1/2 of all people who meet someone online find they are lying about who they are, and many are even married, trying to get some sex on the side, or just playing having fun.

That's one thing about the internet some people just aren't meant to be together. If you were there would be a way. A lot of times when people meet they find out the other was nothing they imagined because the image from the internet is very different from reality. I've found it takes 3 months of really getting to know a guy (and not by what they tell me, but by what I see) then after 3 months they really let their true image out. So you only really have an illusion of how he portrays himself over the internet

Fr Chuck, would love to hear how it's going now after you put a stop to the fake profile... how you keep track, how much you worry about more!

Good catch, Joy. And once again I wonder about the definition of the word "boyfriend" - and why teenage girls are so desperate to have a "boyfriend" that anyone/everyone falls into that classification.

As far as going to the US to mee this month's boyfriend, I say talk to the parents, have them help you get a passport, have them talk to his parents, send you to the US.

Your parents know about the relationship, right?

I had gotten lack, I normally checked log in's, computer history and much more, all the time.
But had stopped for a bit, he took advantage,

** actually I am glad he did, it shows he is 12, and will still do childish things. Not to mention a couple porn sites he had looked at. ** time for another father son talk
