Enjoy what you currently have, but don't put all your eggs in one basket in case she turns out to be someone else, or fades on you once the initial excitement has worn off. She may not have asked for money or other favours yet but it's very early days.

That is what I was expecting going this route to finding people to talk to. She had been on the pen pal site for a while and said the same thing about how communication decreases and somewhat quickly and said she was surprised we went the other way.
The amount of time we spend texting or video chatting increases. I couldn't talk to anyone else even if I could find someone else. I will be glad when her vacation is over next Monday so we can get some space and I will have time to take a step back. The intensity sometimes is too much for me.
I don't have a lot invested but it is just really confusing to have a woman not ignore me. If she isn't who she says she is it is not like it can hurt me other than feeling stupid. If she is real, there might be something there and that is more frightening then if she is lying. People lying on the internet is expected.
Thanks
