Thanks for the visit and for the kind words. They are much appreciated. :)

Ben

It’s good to hear your reassurance that my advice was sound. She has 2 more years until she has her degree and I’m sure that if she abandons her education now she will regret it later. She’s “love sick” and hormone driven. I really don’t think she’s thinking clearly and I told her that.

There have always been long distance romances and many have endured and become actualized and long standing. The internet is where people meet and I’m sure cyber courtship is here to stay and will be on the increase.

I tried to emphasize this: Realize that what you see online isn’t the whole picture. There are many characteristics that make up a person. Online typing does not afford the experience of a person’s temperament, work ethic, parenting skills, or personal habits.

Adam in a comment last year shared his opinion that it’s really important to meet face-to-face early on in the relationship. Britgirl also confirmed this as well.

As she’s just at the end of her term I expect to hear from her again soon. I’m encouraging her to travel and meet him.

Thanks for commenting and please come again soon. :)

I think internet relationship leave a lot of be desired. On the internet one cannot even be sure of what the person looks like as photographs can be deceptive. One cannot make out the expression of the eyes. I can tell far more easily if a person is lying when the person is face to face than on the internet. On the internet all you can know is the superficial. It may or may not be a good start to the relationship.
It’s interesting what you say about friendship crossing age barriers. I too can relate to people of all ages!
