He seemed so sweet at first & we really clicked but in time her torchured me & made my life a living hell. Not all people online are gonna be like but the thing about talking to someone online is you just don't know what you're getting yourself into.....I encourage you to try & find someone you can be with in person. Honestly, it's a million times better to have someone you get to see & hug & all that good stuff. Messing with guys from other countries really isn't as glamorous as it seems i promise. Either way please be careful. Pay attention to the signs. [ jupiter1963's advice column | Ask jupiter1963 A Question ]

Even dating someone from your own country but through long distance is hard. It isn't going to help you at your age to learn much needed skills in learning about dating someone of the opposite sex. At 15, you are no where near ready to be looking for a life time partner. If two people fall for each other on line, many consider that dating but it is not technically a 'dating relationship'
Here's what Wikipedia says about dating:
Dating is a form of courtship consisting of social activities done by two people with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a partner in an intimate relationship or as a spouse. While the term has several meanings, it usually refers to the act of meeting and engaging in some mutually agreed upon social activity in public, together, as a couple out in public.
My opinion is that the greatest success of finding some who really cares about you and has no hidden nasty surprises is to be able to date in person, not on line. On line dating is flat two dimensional and its easy for the other to lie to you. There is no real opportunity to gain trust and intimacy with that person. So finding a guy who is local just for practicing your dating skills as far as determining whether a guy makes good relationship material is the best option. Even I have met guys on line. Most were local and I'd meet within a week if they sounded promising on line. In a couple cases I met guys who lived far away but I still did take it to the meet in person stage after 1 to 2 months, no longer. The longer its online, the more opportunity for it to turn into nothing more than a fantasy because your mind has to imagine to fill in the spaces that are missing from lack of in person,face to face dating.
You never did say why you realised you don't want to date someone from your own country. It may sound like a good solid reason to you. But if it's simply cus you like guys with accents, that's no reason to lose out on practicing dating techniques with local guys. If you like accents, then put that on a list of wants and needs in a guy but make sure you learn how to spot all the other stuff first, like how well he treats a girl and the best way to learn is in person...not on line. Learn now so that after you turn 18 and are an adult, you can go on dating sites and state what you are looking for in a guy and add the fact that you like an accent.
