You can start approaching a girl you like who lives across the ocean by messaging her. Perhaps, you’ve most likely stumbled on her profile through an online dating app or social media platform and started developing feelings as you interact more with her.

Make the first move by initiating a conversation with her. Try to avoid telling dad jokes or overly-sexualized compliments that make you look creepy or perverted and end up losing your chance. You should also be culturally sensitive and avoid offending her by disrespecting her foreign country’s customs.

You can ask smart questions to figure out if both of you are compatible. Do both of you have similar values and beliefs? Would both of you be willing to try a long-distance relationship? Then, ask her what she looks for in a potential partner. Figure out if you meet her standards. Of course, you can also share about what type of person you want to date. Ensure that she gives hints that reciprocate your feelings. This way, you would get to know her better and determine if she is worth pursuing without wasting your time or effort.

Ultimately, if your romantic feelings are unwavering and you’ve allotted a significant amount of period to know her, you can proceed from casual flings to a serious relationship by confessing. Just remember that there’s a possibility you might get rejected so prepare yourself. After all, dating requires effort and failures can lead you to find “the one.” Good luck!
