Please don't rate if it's normal or not before you read the story. I know this story may be cliche, but please listen to it, at least. I'm 18 and the lovely lady in question is 17. We live nearly 800 miles apart. Approximately 7-8 months ago I made a dA (deviantArt)account. I shared literature pieces and my drawings on the site. My literature pieces went very deep and heartfelt. One day I got a message from a random person on the site. It was from the girl I'm in love with this very day. She asked how I was feeling with life because my literature pieces clearly pictured out my troubled mind at the time. We began talking for a while and became instantly attached. I would get on dA just to message her, after a while she got a new cellphone and we to text each other which made it much easier to communicate. Then we began calling each other. I was in love with her as soon as I heard her angelic voice. We're so insanely alike. We both love art, science, and we share VERY similar views on religion which I love. We can talk civilized about certain topics average couples don't do, and that's what I love most about her. Her intellect is so delightful. We've said so much since I've met her and I can honestly say that I never get bored of talking to her. We've said that we're in love with each other for a while now, and that never gets old either. She's saving her first kiss for me, and we plan on losing that "other thing" together as well. We both want it to be insanely special and romantic. I can wait and she can definitely wait. She's truly a flower in an ocean of weeds. Neither of us have jobs or cars so visitation is extremely difficult, her parents don't even want to know that she's dating. Oh and another thing, she and I would like to use the term "boyfriend and girlfriend", but I asked her not to, because I believe it could make the waiting difficult. We pretty much know it could be at least a year before we can meet for the first time, but we know it will be worth it. Is this normal?

    This is extremely normal.
    It's not easy nor is it realistic but if you are both truly dedicated, it could work. The odds are just slim.
    =] good luck!

    I don't think your in love, it simply isn't realistic for you two to be in love when you haven't met, haven't you seen catfish?!
    But I think it's lovely and if you do
    Make it work then all the best. But I wouldn't hold your breath. Talking from experience :)

    The story is too long to be read so I voted it's normal without reading. Basically: it's normal for the inexperienced to confuse being hopeful about a relationship with being in love.

    Go for it!
    If you've found someone who suites you so perfectly, you may not get another.
    She may just be your perfect match.
    You should make the effort to spend time together in person when you get the opportunity and see if it works out.

    Its a sign of the times. Most of the people here saying its not normal are unable to fully enter the digital age.

    I'm married. Met my wife in person before ever getting serious. Now I'm your everyday average overweight miserable father of three that wants to kill himself because he's married, has three kids, and is jailed for life inside my own family.

    All joking aside, this is an increasingly digitized age where texting, chatting, skyping, etc etc are the preferred method of cantact. Its easy to see, if you're open minded, how this trend is here to stay. Record numbers of people are getting married through dating sites and even mmos for christs sake. I would even go so far as to say not only is this normal, but due to the communications and ever changing socially interactive nature of the internet, this will become a far more pronounced and landmark method of relationship building.
