He likes a girl and he's willing to go the distance to see her, what is so bad about that? If he can then he should he's only young once.
I once travelled to fucking Finland to be with a girl I liked, do you guys know where Finland is? It's cold and Santa lives there, it's practically the North Pole.
Granted that I had met this chick and hooked up with her before I bought my ticket but if I did do the online thing and had met a girl like her I'm pretty sure I would have done it anyway.
I had an incredible time over there, it only lasted a couple of months and we don't talk anymore (her decision) but I will never regret taking that risk and having that adventure.
I made loads of cool friends and got to live totally out of my comfort zone, I think that experience was really great for me and I'm glad I didn't listen to all the people that were telling me at the time it was a bad idea because it turns out they were totally wrong.
Tranquility if you want to do this, if you think there is a chance that she is worth it, then go for it bro. Even if she isn't worth it at least you can look back one day and say 'I did it, I took a chance and I had an adventure'.
Life is just too short to play it safe.
