Although you are 1 year younger than her you seem more mature. And.....it is really not a good idea to surprise her and show up at her door at Christmas, please, do not do this! I doubt that she told her parents about you! Good luck.
Her parents know about me, I've even spoken to her mom before, she told all of her friends and parents about me, her parents even joked around that i was her boyfriend

And no i am 100% certain she is real, the videos, photos, FB, it's not fake

And I'm not asking about maintaining a LDR, I'm wondering if we can have one when she meets me (she will study in the uk next year)

And yes she is unsure about herself,she is insecure and she dosen't know what she wants exactly

Plus the last bit about turning up out of the blue at xmas ......sounds magical and enchanting but in reality it won't work so what you said her reaction would be sounds about right

The difference in location is HUGE but she is coming to study at university in the UK next year
and she has slowly started to take things forward.....

And turning up in December might work

If she will NEVER love me why does she want to date me when me meet ?
why would she want to meet me at all ?
If there's no interest why is she still talking to me
And NO surprising her in December isn't silly, it would be really sweet and romantic
You appear to have all of the answers you are looking for already so why did you start a thread?
Anyway, carry on, good luck, bless your heart.

If she's told you she would go mad at you if you turned up at her house in her country why do you think it would work?

And what happens if you meet a bird in the meantime? ..... Personally I think you're wasting your time but it's your choice

But she would only be mad because she is shy and she really isn't ready yet (she is a shy nervous person) if i could get past her shyness she wouldn't be mad at me
and tbh i'm not really looking for anyone in the meantime, I will wait for her if it can work, i just want to understand if it might ever work
she has promised to meet me in summer and she is coming here to study, and she has promised a date

Why don't you listen to what she says?

She will NOT think it sweet or romantic; she told you otherwise.

If you showed up on my doorstep when I specifically told you not to, I would never ever speak to you again.

It is rude, presumptuous, and shows that her opinion does not matter to you.


I think she does not want you there because... well, catfish! Same reason she will not Skype.

Facebook can be faked.
How do you know it was her parents and not her friends messing with you?
The fact that she refuses to Skype speaks volumes... but you are not listening!

Well if that's the way you would like to look at it then you have nothing to lose have you?.... But if she's THIS shy and nervous then DONT try and force the issue and push her by turning up at her home at Xmas...... Respect her wishes mate

It just seems you have an awful lot of time and emotion invested in her.... Which for someone you've never even met seems excessive.

You're a very young lad I just wouldn't want to you to get your hopes up and get hurt

Out of interest where are you based and where will she be studying in the UK?

Skype or eff off, that became my motto after getting catfished. There is no point in wasting even ten minutes of my time being even pen pals with someone who won't agree to a Skype chat. The Internet is rife with fakers.

You mention that she's moving to the UK to go to school eventually. My advice - until she does and is willing to meet you in person, don't waste your energy (or precious time) with communicating with her. Go about your business, meet real people who live around you, cultivate community connections.

By the way she sounds like way more drama than my threshold would allow, but that's subjective so maybe you like this kind of emotional instability.
