You need to MEET her first it's great that you have a lot incommon but there has to be an attraction in person first. She might have some things about her that you don't like when you meet her. We all have little pet peeves that can drive other people insane. Stop worrying about how old you are that doesn't matter all that much. Stay where you are don't uproot yourself when you haven't even met her.

There are people who have met & got married in less then a year & are still together 10-15 years later But you haven't met OR anything so that's a BIG no-no. Visit with her take your time & get to know her & her family & friends don't rush into this!

You're 37. You really can't scrape together $250 to meet the person you want to spend the next 50 years with?
goodness me, itd be way more than that , southwest doesnt fly to her state. of course ive looked into it, but its going to cost over $500 and my mom hasnt been well, ive been footing her medical bills. so im lucky to have scraped the money together for next month, plus i wanted to get her a nice gift. but i guess you guys might be right, ill just wait it out.

I have to ask the OP: have you ever been in a relationship before? Do you have any points of comparison?

I think that the best answer to your question is:

NO EFFING WAY

It sounds as if you have other priorities than your "girlfriend," so you need to get those things taken care of before you even start thinking about marriage.

Does your mother approve of your "girlfriend"?

my mother passed away about 3 weeks ago unfortunately. i had saved the $ to go see her for her bday next month regardless but its been hard to pay the med bills and then the funeril costs

yes i was married in my 20s from 21-26 then it didnt work out so we divorced. ive had a couple gfs since then but never felt liek this.

No.

That you even have to ask this means that you shouldn't, never mind the length of time you've been chatting and the fact that you've never so much as been in the woman's presence.
