Hello and Welcome to the forum!
I fell for my Gf online too! its not so strange if you values are compatible we are both Christains she is Catholic i'm Anglican (church of England), i knew before we met she was the girl i wanted to marry, id spent lots of time chatting with her and friends and family , i went out to meet her at Xmas.
We are now starting our fiancee visa application.
Good luck to you both.
