A male United States age 30-35, *enc57 writes:

So I met this girl online and we have been with each other for about 6 months we are friends on face book and know each other’s cell phones have seen pictures of each other and talked to each other on the phone. Hers the problem I like her but she lives 5 time zones away! it’s not weather I love her or not its I’m not shore if we should keep it up if there’s no chance of us meeting in person for a LONG time, like 7 years at the least. It costs her about $100 in cell phone bills and I don't want to be leaching her dry of money just because I love hearing her. So should we keep it up or split up or split up for a little while and see what it’s like then or something else? I do love her but if there is no chance of us meeting for 7 years I just don’t think I can go without ever really meeting her and never having the chance of being with other people if I magically do find someone even slightly as good as her (which is impossible). Can someone give us advice for how to make it better for us to be together, or what we should do, or find a free way to go back and forth from Connecticut and Hawaii.

tennisstar88 agony auntHow can you love someone you have never met?

The best free communication you can utilize is SKYPE. Google it, it's free video chatting..that way you're not using up her minutes, or making her cell phone bill more expensive than it already is. I will say in order to keep up this LDR you have to maintain communication and at least some travel. Which isn't ideal for either of you, since the only way to her would be by plane or boat which isn't going to be free or cheap.

Try the SKYPE route, but seeing as neither of you can't meet each other anytime soon then I'm afraid this relationship won't last much longer. It's best to find a girl in your area.

Online relationships can work, but you have to meet the person first to see if they're really who they say they are..what they're like online can differ what they're like in person.
