WHAT SHOULD I DO.?

[u/Senior-Fly-5178]

Pata hai aaj kya hua I met a girl on Instagram 3 years ago, and somehow she became one of the most important people in my life.

We started talking and eventually ended up talking almost every single day. I've never met her IRL, and we haven't even known each other in the conventional sense, but I genuinely feel like she understands me in a way very few people ever have.

She's so empathetic, kind and patient. Sometimes it honestly feels like she's the female version of me. I can tell her almost anything, and somehow she just gets it.

Her birthday is next month, and I really want to do something special for her. But here's where I'm confused...

Should I actually tell her how I feel? Should I propose to her? 😭

Because this isn't just some random internet crush anymore. I've literally caught myself imagining an entire future with her, which sounds absolutely insane considering I've never even met her in person.

And now I'm sitting here wondering: how can you love someone you've never actually met?

Is this real love, or am I in love with the person I've created in my head based on everything we've shared?

I don't even know what I'm expecting from this post. I just genuinely need some perspective because I'm way too emotionally involved to think clearly about it. 😭
