Depending on the distance, take a trip during the weekend. If they are 3,000 miles away, you are pretty much screwed unless you are rich and can afford to move all over the U.S. on a infatuation-based whim.

You communicate through the Web, in letters. You get Skype and have calls where you can see one another and interact.

If time proves the attraction is serious, you really think hard about moving.

If you think you are falling for someone, the first question (while it’s still possible to decide) is, do you want to fall for this person or not? There comes a point of no return, but before that you can still decide if you want to go ahead with it or pull back.

I met @Keysha online. She was in Michigan, I was in Ohio.

I fell for her the first time we spoke online which is odd for me. I did not give two squirts what she looked like, just knew I had it “bad.”

We talked online and on the phone. Eventually she came to visit me in Ohio (I could not make the drive to Michigan due to a severe problem with highway hypnosis so she had to visit me all the time when I lived in Ohio).

The end result is she is my wife (common law), I moved to Michigan, and she is about 2 feet to my left right now answering a question on Fluther. :)

I met Aris online, as he says. It was a message board, he was in the middle of moving to Ohio from Maryland. I, a 40-year-old virgin (never even been interested in another enough to kiss them) fell head over heels. (yes, I even saved his first PM to me.) We IM’d quite a bit, and ended up together. I’ve never regretted a moment of it. Had we not gotten together like this, we would have remained online, with occasional visits as we could afford.

Love you, Arisztid

I had a friend with this problem. When she asked I told her that she first should decide if she was hopeful this relationship would become something permanent. If so, she would need to accept the possibility that someday she might have to pick up and move away…at least one of them would. If she felt it was worth pursuing after deciding this, they together would find ways to get to know each other for a while before making a “big” move. Good luck!

Don’t be afraid to let it happen. Suffer through the distance while you get to know each other. Figure out a way to spend some time together. Then it will be time to make some decisions.
