I think my online girl is cheating on me--her stories don't add up!

I think my girlfriend is possibly cheating on me. I am really confused....she really seems sincere, tells me she loves me all the time, but certain behavioral patterns really bother me. Though our relationship for now is strictly online (thats how and where we met) she says we will meet in person when she is ready, being she states that she had a bad experience with online dating and the guy dumped her after they met and he got what he was after. But it really makes me uneasy, she has lots of male friends and they leave comments on her facebook a lot, and she leaves comments on theirs....not just a friendly hi or hello, but stating obvious physical attraction. Not like sexual requests but "hey, you're cute" and stuff like that. It took me a while to convince her to list me as her boyfriend as well. And lately, what bothers me the most, is we used to talk all night long, until the earliest hours of the morning. Lately, that all changed. She out of nowhere announces she is tired and says she gotta get up early, claiming she is gonna start college. I am not sure if she really is going to attend, but her reason is she said when we meet, she wants to be financially stable and not just be a burden. Thats understandable, but it doesn't quite add up. This girl used to talk to me almost constantly, especially late at night. Now she heads to bed early (supposedly) and another thing I want to point out is she gets a LOT of phone calls, never really tells me who it is, she says "just a friend" and I know most of the time, its a guy. But she claims they are just friends and have no interest in her. A few nights ago, out of nowhere, she said that me and her talk almost all the time and she wanted to spend the night talking with a friend (which later on I found out was with another guy) and I was upset about this. I wanted to spend the night talking with her because I was going to be busy all day, the next day. She gave me no indication of when she was coming back, if at all. The next day, she claims she was only going to talk for a little while then call me back (she never said that) and immediately asked "are we breaking up?" I don't know why she immediately asked that, but she claims she is insecure, as am I. Though when we talk, I trust her and we get along so great but she suddenly has to disappear and always tells me later "oh so and so needed me" or "I was talking with a friend" but never really gives names unless its the names of guy friends that I know. And the biggest issue is a few weeks ago, online I was talking with her and she put me on hold (which like I said, she does a lot) and we were on webcam, and I could hear her talking. I didn't get the whole conversation but at the end of the call I heard a guy's voice and she said "I love you...then the male voice said something and she said "bye baby" and I freaked. I messaged her on AIM and said "who was that?" she gave me a question mark response and told me to call. I asked again who was it and she said it was her sister. I said I heard a man's voice. She said her sister lives with her boyfriend, but I heard the voice on the phone, not as a voice walking by her. And I asked why she said "bye baby?" then and she claims it was to her sister's daughter. But it makes no sense, she said it with little hesitation, especially after I heard the male voice. So much just does not add up. I known this girl about 7 months and she seems so sincere and genuine, but things like this happen fairly often. What should I do? Do you think she is cheating or not?
