its a tough situation because there are many problems in this..... long distance/on-line relationships are hard.... i know.... because ive been through one (my only bf/gf relationship mind you lol).... its hard.... then again, my situation might have been harder than average because my ex cut herself and such but back to the situation.... i think that you should tell her because its never good in a friendship/relationship to not keep secrets from each other.... it can hurt your relationship by them not knowing what you have to say.... heres the thing.... if you tell her and she likes you, that's good but be careful of the whole on-line relationship.... if she doesnt like you, hopefully you can still be really good friends and maybe she'll like you later on.... if she doesnt want to be your friend anymore, then it probably wasnt worth it in the first place.... if a girl doesnt want to be your friend because you like her.... she really wasnt too much of a friend in the first place... hope that helped a little bit
