well. surprisingly i dont think your so crazy. cos well, i'm 17 and i'm flying to canada from australia all by myself in 4 weeks (28 days!!) to visit a boy whom i adore and have for 6 long years to find out whether he still has feelings for me so if you can hold out for a little longer i can tell you how it went and hopefully offer some advice. but for now i'd say go for it! you just want to go there for a few months to get to know her better, spend time with her and really figure out your next step so what better way to do it! you get to be with her and experience a new country.
so no, i dont think that across the ocean is too far cos hey i'm doing it and to be honest i can't wait no matter what the outcome is and i'm so glad i''ve found someone who would do the same as im doing cos i thought i was crazy!
my whole story is in this section its called really really scared if you want to look.
