I'm a 17 year old girl and I have been talking to this 18 year old guy on Skype for the last 2 weeks because we are both in college ( I graduated highschool early ) we could meet until the summer but we talked about it a couple times we enjoy each others company and we're always laughing and having fun together my parents would let me meet him but only if i have a friend with me but the other thing is he lives in seatle Washington and I live in Chicago illinois how would this work he. ? He has family in wisconsin but even then how would this work ? Should I ask my mom to meet him ? Or would it be a waste of my time

 You just started talking.
How did you meet?
Just take your time getting to know each other online and be FRIENDS online.
LDRS are hard when you are adult, not in school close enough to drive to see each other and have met in real life.
WHAT you propose here is nearly impossible to make happen.
It’s been two weeks honey.. not two months or two years. You guys are at least a 4 hour plane ride apart…in addition a round trip flight from Chicago to Seattle will run around 300 dollars…
I’m not trying to be mean I just would like you to inject some reality into this lovely feeling you have. I think you are putting the cart before the horse.
Continue to skype and talk with him. My gf who is 38 and in an LDR sees her boyfriend every weekend and every night at 9 pm they skype for 2 hours… I think 6 months from now if you are still talking to him daily and have not had any big issues then you could consider discussing with mom and dad perhaps figuring out a way to meet him (he could come visit you and stay either in a hotel, with friends or if you have a guest room and your folks agree he could stay at your home…

I would just carry on enjoying each others skype company until the oportunity to meet arises. You haven't known each other long and so the logistics of meeting will force you to get too serious too quickly which usually is very bad for a relationship. Just take it easy and see what happens. You could try talking with your mum but be prepared for her to be very cautious because she doesn't want you to get hurt.
