gHEXjt has some great advice..

I suppose I'll add on to what he said. TheOneandOnly, I met a girl online a couple years ago, and the initial reaction was the same. Talked online the first night, she asked me for my number repeatedly, I gave it to her (may have been stupid but I did after pressure). Talked on the phone, was so nervous.. but we both felt great. We talked so many hours in those first six months. Sometimes she'd talk about getting married and stuff, and honestly I was kinda scared. We both wanted to say 'I love you' (we both mentioned that) but in that whole time we never actually did.

It went through its ups and downs. I even met her in person, and that was the BEST experience of my life. A month ago, she told me that she didn't want me to 'wait my life for her'. She said that 'love had to come from an open mind and an open heart'. I couldn't believe it at first, but then after not talking to her for a while (haven't talked to her since), I realized that I sorta was sheltering myself and not being open to other things and, well, other girls (something that gHEXjt has alluded to). I realized that she was right.

I'm ready to talk to her now. And again, like gHEXjt said, if we end up together, that'd be great. If she finds someone else, then that's how it is. Whatever gives her the most happiness will make me happy. If she did end up with someone else I think I may be sad, but deep down I would be happy. In some senses her happiness is a part of my happiness (I can't state perse that her's is more important than mine because I think her's is a part of my own).

I'm not quite sure why I said all of that.. maybe it's to show that I have been in a situation like that (although I'm much further in the game). It's easy to have those sorts of feelings after even a few days of talking. But more talking and time will give you a better sense of how you really feel. Also.. please try to remain as open as you can. It seems so easy (I thought I was open myself) but it's really so hard to do especially when you have such strong feelings for someone. But you know, when she told me that I think she was telling me to be happy. If I find something that makes me happy, then go for it... to not skip on it because I'm waiting for her. I'd advise the same.. good luck to you.
