I agree with Trippin. Girl be flirtin'. And even if she's just joking when she says she loves you, I highly doubt she's doing that to every guy she meets.

Across an ocean is difficult. But do-able. But, again, like Trippin said, no need to rush.

And, hey, don't sell yourself short. Your responses to threads on this forum are pretty great. You know a lot more than you think you do.
