So you have never even met in person?
Talking online, even on skype with video, is far different than meeting in person and spending a lot of time together. You can't call it a relationship until you do that.
Honestly even if you had met on a dating site I would say that, has nothing to do with where you met. either or both of you may find out you are very different in person. The chemistry may not be there.
Don't invest too heavily emotionally or financially on either end until you have spent time together!
Yes I know that and the concept behind it all but it's life what you people think love is around the corner or just where you live if you ask me some people here are Afraid there is million people in the world how can you settle for the ones that live near you oh wait what I get it you all want the easy love well that's my opinion . Idk
