Hey welcome. For us we met in February online this year and within 2 weeks we decided to meet each other, but we were chatting everyday and she was in Japan at the time, but due to work I couldn't get out there until 3 months later to propose to her. Well actually she proposed to me first online after we had an arguement.
Be careful though, cause when we were chatting everyday we would also argue lots too, over various things. And the day before I was due to fly out to Tokyo we had a massive arguement and feel out with each other. I thought about not going and jacking it in. But I couldn't get a refund on my ticket doh! so we agreed for me not to propose to her and to spend some time with each other. But we ended up engaged lol oh the irony of things heh!
But at first I didn't trust her, cause you hear so many scammers and at one point I thought I was being scammed. because of the amount of arguements we had. I thought she was getting anxious because I was just too careful.
Now looking back I'm glad we had all them arguements because we now understand each other more and respect what we believe in. We rarely argue now especially now that we're married.
Try phoning her, talking to her, its daunting at first cause you have to speak really slowly, well I did any way. Make your self feal comfortable with her first before visiting her. It also depends on what type of person you are. My attitude is if your gonna do it, do it.
I presume your about my age, I turned 30 last month and got married 3 days after my birthday. I know what you mean not being in a hurry. But once the ball starts rolling, its like your in a fantasy world. And jetting off to the otherside of the world is awesome. Make sure you sign up with some company that gives you air miles back. Thats my regret. I flew to Japan, then paid for my wifes ticket from Japan to Phippines, then I flew to Philippines to marry her all in the space of 10 months. I could of had a free trip to Jamaica by now.
Philippines is an interesting place and the first thing that sprung to my mind when my girl picked me up at the airport was, I'm gonna get mugged. Well to be honest its no different than your car being nicked in Liverpool or getting mugged in Manchester or being conned in London. But one thing that does strike me is the families that literally live on the busy roads and kids following you and knocking on your taxi window. And the armed guards at every shop in the street not to mention the dodgy taxi's. On the plus side theres nice hot weather, very cheap food, drink and clothes.
For me it just felt right when we first sent a smile to each other. I could've met another girl here in the UK but wheres the fun in that. I decided to choose a different path this time.
Anyway good luck to you and your girl.
