<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

A month ago, I (F24) met this guy (M29) on a forum about grad school (we're both applying this season). I recently suffered a bit of a romantic blow, so I suppose I'm particularly emotionally receptive. Still, this was a totally unexpected connection, and maybe that's why the intensity has kind of blown me away -- it's happened entirely online, from a forum that had NOTHING to do with romance or meeting people. 

He lives across the country from me, but we've started talking every day via email and skype. We have yet to meet in person, but our "webcam chemistry" is off the charts. I think he's a really great person. In any case, I kind of want to see if we mesh this well in person. I'd like to know if this is just pure silliness or if maybe we could actually be something. Would it be crazy to book a cheap ticket and visit him on an upcoming long weekend? I have a friend who lives in the same city as him so I could stay with her. I discussed this with him already and he seemed into the idea, but I just worry that it might be a little rash, and I might ultimately get disappointed if I invest a few hundred bucks in meeting him and he turns out not to be what I thought.
<bot>: I (F24) want to visit my internet crush (M29) but I'm not sure it's a good idea.
