OK, I must say that, though it goes against my better judgment, I think it's great that you're finding someone who you relate to and can connect with, even if this person is online. We all need that.
But I must warn you that you shouldn't expect this to go very far. And I have personal experience with this, because not once but TWICE I have started online friendships with girls my own age that started turning a bit more personal and bam, they fell apart. With one of them, we even talked on the phone. Problem is, ultimately, it's just really difficult to keep things going. I had a bit of a falling out with one of them, and now we're trying to piece things back together. It's frustrating but, again, I'm glad you've found someone you connect with.
