I met this amazing guy over the internet. We met on a fansite for the TV show heroes and we've been e-dating for about 6 mons. I think I'm in love with him. But a few problems
1. He lives in Australia
2. How would I tell my parents?
3. How can I be so sure he loves me as much as he says?
4. Is e-dating smart?

All the answers of your questions depends on you & the guy. He may be lying to you about himself. He may be having sex with his girlfriend as I write this. You never know. Let's say he's honest, he likes you too. In this case..
1. You can move to Australia or he can move to your country. Getting a visa is a VERY difficult thing to live but he can come there as a student (join an acing/language course or an MBA programme or something like that. If you have money, you can visit each other on vacations.
2. Your parents would be happy about it probably. A boyfriend who lives in different country= no (or less) sex. Parents love that so don't worry about it.
3. You can't be sure.
4. Again, depends on you and him. E-dating is a very common thing. Even some celebrities meet through internet for the first time (like Myspace). Besides, some people meet in real life but travel all the time because of their jobs and can't see their partners much. If you like him, try your chance. But get prepared for the bad surprises and be aware it's gonna be a challenge

Sorry, cause you sound really into this guy. But honestly? As I'm sure you heard before, he could be some 50 year old freak. It depends on how old you are, and judging by the fact that your worried about your parents, you sound young. If you are, in fact, young, forget it. If your older, meet him. But DO NOT go alone. Bring some good, strong, preferably male friends. It could be true love. But it could be............something worse than that. Be careful!

first off, take it slow. dont throw ur whole life into it because it 1. might not last and 2. he might not be totally true. you can mention him here and there around ur parents and if they start to wonder, tell them you two are friends, but since they (and u) may never meet him, they dont need to know a whole lot of details at this point. wait till it goes further and then tell them everything. pay attention to details of what u two talk about...if u start to suspect something is "wrong", dont second guess it...talk to him. dating is getting to know somebody b4 anything serious, and esp someone in another country. be careful with your heart though, because its easier to fall in love than it is to fall out of it, no matter who its with. good luck. ive done it b4....hell, i was in a long distance relationship and we were only 14 hours away (he was away in the army..but from here). its hard.

NO, NO, NO, NO! From my own experiences e-dating is super risky. You don't know for sure who you are dealing with. They only tell you what you want to hear, you've never met them. I think it's a bad idea but if your going to go on about it use some super extra precautions: http://www.onlinedatingmagazine.com/features/onlinedatingsafetytips.html, let your parents in on it for sure, and even some close friends. Don't throw everything into this relationship i.e money, money money. It might just be a scam. Also, he may be way older than you realize. How old are you anyway?

depending on age the best thing to do is for him to come to you and visit --- my lady is overseas (i too am from australia) ---- by doing that he shows that he cares --- he can meet you --- meet your parents and you can date and see if your feelings remain ---- online dating is no worse than trying to find someone face to face in some ways i think its safer --- you dont have to meet if you dont want to and when you do meet it can be somewhere safe and public ---- have fun
