I came back 3 days ago and I'm miserable as hell. I met a girl in Florida - we spent the last few days together and I stayed at her house on the beach and although it sounds silly, it was the best time of my life. We had so much in common and it seems that American girls like English guys :) she is one of the most amazing girls I ever met and I meet a lot of people but there is just so many things about her. When I left her house for the airport I was upset and although I have a good job and house here but I can't stop thinking about her, our dates and being there. We speak a lot each day on the phone and by text and we have grown close.She has asked me to come to her home town in tenessee for thanksgiving and back to Florida for Xmas to stay with her as she's normally on her own. She said she's so happy we met and she misses me. My friends think I'm crazy and say I can have my pick of girls here but I don't want that. Can it work? Can people meet this way and eventually spend their lives together? I've never been in this situation and I feel so blue , is this normal? Any advice would be great thank you

 Sounds like Cupid drew back his bow and shot you right in the heart in Florida. Yes, many of us Americans love English guys! Your accents are kinda dreamy to us, but your sweetheart in Florida likes you for more than your nationality.
Make your plans for your trips if you can afford it! Enjoy the feelings and the relationship! Long-Distance Relationships are a challenge, but there are those with happy endings. I have a friend who lived in Sydney, Australia, and she met her future husband online who lives in Colorado in the US, and within the year, they were married, and just passed their 14th year! Another friend of mine met her husband on a message board (E-Bay). She lived in Vancouver, British Columbia, and he lived in South Carolina. They were married within 2 years, and just celebrated their 8th anniversary. Another couple who met on the same message board were long distance, he lived in Dallas Texas and she lived in Washington, DC. They're at 10 years now.
So, it can work! In both cases, they planned regular meetings like every 6 months until one or the other moved out to where the other one was permanently. So plan your get-togethers and see what happens!

 If you feel you can afford this and can go see her then go for it.
I know many people who were from different cultures and backgrounds and made it work.
I hope it works for you!
