They should feel lucky to be with you, since its not everyday that you take the chance for a relationship. I think that the Internet really allows people to be themselves. If I found someone that I felt comfortable with, I'd very much make an attempt to stay in touch with them to get to know them better. Then, I'd be wanting a picture. As for the other person being out of state, nothing is easy.
Some relationships take a little more work than others.
Well Dana, first off, men will never understand women. However, they should do their best to try to understand what women need, and go through, both emotionally as well as physically. I don't know anyone who fully understands women. On the same token, I do know couples who almost completely know each other. As for communication, I don't see how understanding the other sex would make a relationship boring.
