Hey everyone! My name is actually Nick haha not dean(I was 15 when I made this account) anyway, now I’m 19 and I ran into a situation and I need advice. Well a year ago I met a girl from Pennsylvania and we talk daily. I live in Florida currently 1,000 miles away from where she lives but I grew such a strong attraction spiritually and physically. However, we both hope for a future but we aren’t going to online date. I probably won’t be able to see her for another two years. During this time it brought my spirt down to a great sadness. I feel hopeless because I want to be with her and I’m always nervous she’ll find someone else and replace me because I never felt so close and attracted to a person throughout my life. I know God has a plan for my life but it’s just so stressful sometimes because I really want to be with this girl and I don’t see myself with anyone else. Anyway, can I get some opinions on this?
I need advice.

Sure.. here's some advice..
1. Online dating rarely, if ever, works out. I know you said you're not going to do that, but in case you change your mind, be warned.. lol
2. Have you ever actually seen her? Like, on Skype or wherever? Another user here is currently caught up with an online catfish who he met through a dating app. So be positive she IS who she says she is..
3. Two years is a long time, but you're both young and shouldn't hope to commit to each other. If she (or you) finds someone else, then you'll just to have to accept it and move on.
4. Do you honestly feel she is the one that God intends for you? And that you're the one He intends for her? Because if you (or she) aren't, then there's no way this will work out..

Ok. Thanks for the info.
My advice is NO. I've seen this movie before several times. One time in particular, friends of mine had a daughter who got so infatuated with a guy online that she never met, several states away, left her home against her parents wishes, in a very ugly manner, and married the guy.
Her relationship with her family is severely damaged. Several yrs down the road from this, she is not really happy with the outcome, and only now is starting to understand that her parents REALLY DID have her best interests at heart. I know this same exact scenario may not happen in your case, but it almost certainly won't end well.
I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's what you NEED to hear. Slowly withdraw from this situation. Get hooked into a good Church that has a good young adult connect group, and get to know a girl in person.
Sorry guy, but feelings and truth don't always mesh.
