Hi guys, 

2 Months ago I, M(23), met a girl, F(22), through a popular MMORPG, we chatted and got to know each other pretty well. We would have deep and intimate conversations about love, life and our aspirations. I felt we connected and 'clicked', (she also told me she felt this way).

It seemed like it would be a great opportunity to ask her out, so I did.
Problem is that she is on the other side of the world. I asked her if she would like to try long distance until I start my new finance related job in January so I could save up money and visit towards the end of next year.

She told me she was still getting over her ex (broke up 3 months ago) but was still very keen on the idea of long distance. We would spend on average about 8 hours a day on Skype chatting to each other and webcamming over the next few weeks.

She is keen on long term and we have had numerous conversations about our plans and that we are both in it for the 'long haul'.

Over the last few days she has not been as active as before (talked to her for 1 hour over the last 3 days, but for legitimate reasons). The loneliness has been crushing and I cannot stop thinking about her when we aren't online together. To deal with this I have began to work out more, read books, extracurriculars etc to take my mind off it but I still end up engrossed in thinking abut her.

I really want to try and make this work, but from reading previous posts here re long distance I seem to get the consensus that it's a long shot with a slim chance of working if both parties expend 110% effort into the relationship - I assume this effort would be higher if we have never met in person.

Question: Does anyone have any advice on how I can cope with being in a long distance relationship where I have not met the other person in real life?
