I'm currently in a long distance relationship. We met through friends of friends, we havent met eachother, but we've met eachother's friends. I know a lot of you probably dont belive in long distance or online relationships, but I am madly in love with this guy and I have been for over a year now. I'm not jumping to conclusions, but I just wanna visit him or have him visit me but I just feel like there's going to be so much drama going on with my parents and his parents. I've discussed long distance relationships with my parents before and they're completely against it. So I have no idea how to tell them about this one. By the way, we're both 21.
Any suggestions?

I agree with shiprepairwoman - one of you should plan a vacation in the other's city.
But one thing to add to her great advice: Since you have mutual friends, be sure to include them until you've had some time together with your long distance partner - - as you don't know this person other than what you've learned on line.
I wish you the best - just be careful and proceed cautiously until you've had a chance to get better acquainted as part of a larger group.

My sister was in one of these. It kind of depends on how far apart you guys are. My sister was apart form him by about 6 or 7 states. (She met him through me) but if you guys live in the same state you probably just have to make arrangements to meet somewhere where a lot of people are so that you can give your parents the slip. I'm not sure how good it is to tell your parents, maybe try to soften them up a little

One of you should plan a vacation in the city the other is in. Since you are both 21 your parents really don't need to know about it. Be careful he is still a stranger. Have him come visit your friends that he already met maybe he can bring his other friends that know your friends then they can invite you to dinner so you can meet him in a crowd of friends. Then maybe in the spring you can both go to his home town.

If you're adamant about meeting him, I suggest that you tell your parents that the meeting isn't open for discussion but that you're willing to listen to their suggestions about how best to facilitate it. Invite him to your parents house or meet him at his parent's house. Or if that won't work, meet him in a crowded neutral place and bring some friends with you--they can keep a discreet distance from you and him and still keep an eye on you.
DO NOT--UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES--MEET THIS PERSON ALONE!

If you are 21, you don't need to tell your parents. It's none of their business.
