I met her online a few months ago. She was really shy at first, but she always got back to me within a few days, and the conversation was always good. So, after about a month and a half of talking online, we met in person and really hit it off well; the attraction is tremendous, we laugh and kiss, hold hands, blah blah blah.

We ended up going on three really romantic dates before bad news arose: her visa was expiring, and she had to head back home. So, I walked her to her door on our third and last date, we kissed several times, and she says, "Don't worry, I'll see you soon."

That's been one month ago from today's date, and we've been in touch everyday since then through the days; talking on the phone everyday and texting everyday. She hired an immigration lawyer and should be receiving a F-1 visa to study here in the USA no later than January, according to her. She plans on returning to my city to study and continue to date me to see where the relationship goes.

It's been a month since I've last seen her, and I've realized how hard it is to be away from someone you care about. She is always sure to text me good morning and good night, talk to me on the phone throughout the day with voice messages and such.

I have two questions: how can I cope with being away from her, and does she seem to care about me? She is very shy and perhaps a bit coy; very sweet thing. But, it's hard to gauge things regarding how she feels about me.

tl;dr: How can I cope with being away from her, and does she seem to care about me?
