How to closer connect with my girlfriend over the internet
Question Posted Monday June 15 2009, 5:54 pm
I've been talking to this girl for over a year now. I'm 29 and she is 19 and we talk for hours! We talked for 11 hours straight Saturday even. We haven't talked on the phone or anything like that yet though. She lives in Canada and I live in the states. I suggested that we could call each other but she can't because she is afraid of what her parents would think of me because her mom pays her cell phone bill and she looks at who she calls. We have talked about meeting some time but I told her that I'm not in too big of a hurry because she is definately worth the wait. She is afraid that her family won't give me a chance because of one she met me off the internet and two of my age being so much different than hers.
So do you think it's okay to ask her, possibly, to get a webcam and a microphone so we can talk for some different form of communication?
Another question is, well, I want to do something special for her but I don't want to send her something and she would have to explain where it came from. I know this sounds silly but we love each other we have been there for each other in the past year. :\
You COULD ask her to get a webcam but don't be creepy about it, haha. Just bring it up and be like -- since we can't talk on the phone, what do you think about using a webcam? Or something. Just get her opinion about it.

She is still living with her parents, so she needs to obey her parents' rules. If she thinks her parents wouldn't be OK with the age difference, you really need to respect that.
Honestly, you might be pushing trying to "do something special for her", so maybe just.. write her a nice email or write her a short story?
