Anthony from Jacksonville asks… A woman from LA saw my profile picture where I was fishing and thought we could start an online relationship.

You ask a great question: Is it worth starting a long-distance online relationship? Of course, only you can ultimately answer that question, but I’d love to share some advice on the matter that may sway you a bit. First of all, remember that you have to go through points A through Y (emailing, perhaps talking on the phone, a Skype call or two) before you decide whether it’s worth meeting and eventually pursuing a relationship (point Z). It seems that you are getting ahead of yourself, assuming that you will want to see each other, and then envisioning the difficulty in making a relationship work… all from a comment she made about your picture! Take it one step at a time. I always advise keeping doors open until you decide you’re ready to close them.
