Alright, I think we've got things pretty much worked out. Thanks for all the kind replies, especially you, Lucius. The stress of e-relationships just gets to us sometimes. >:
I've talked it through with my parents and they agreed that we should try and meet up sometime though, since England-Germany is actually quite feasible, considering that my brother married a woman 10 years older than him that lived in Seattle, visiting her like 2 months after they got to know each other via the internet. Heh.
