Relationship advice

I need help with my relationship with my current girlfriend:
So I've been dating my current girlfriend, I'll call her H, for a little under a year now, and things have been amazing. However, we have never met as she lives in another country as we met online.
I also met another friend online, I'll call her G, and she lives in the same city as me, and we are in the same year too. Things have been great, and I like her more than what I do with other female friends, but I'm not sure if it's relationship feelings or friendship feelings.
I talked with my parents previously about my relationship with H and they told me that although it is great that I am in a loving relationship, they would find it really hard to pursue and continue the relationship as it might not lead to anything.
So what I want to know is: what should I do? Should I break up with H, although we both love each other and can't find many wrongs in each other; or should I try and stay in my relationship, despite starting to feel a bit down since I see everyone else having physical relationships and I am only in a "virtual" one?

From your description this just seems to be an online relationship. Until you begin meeting in the real world I wouldn't take it too seriously. Feel free to talk to G, but as you'll be in the same situation as with H there's not much to be gained by breaking up with H.

u need to plan to either persue ur relationship irl with H and stop the online couple stuff, Otherwise their right it will go nowhere and im in a 2 yr long distance rls myself so i know these things are hard but honestly u have to weigh out the pros and cons and hurting H like that will give you karma on ur next relationship. so genuinely watch out, if leaving H for G is hurting you, yoh shouldng be in a relationship at all in my opinion.. figure ur feelings out with g then do what is best and most reliable to you but im telljng you you will get karma for leaving H behind for G and itll probably result in a breakup. relationships that are left for other people never Last on the leaving persons part unless ur soulmates and the way u met was just funky but ifu still love H i doubt it

it all depends on ur rls with h like if u guys just text and its all affectionate corny bs id understand but if its been years with h and u know her family, u know her persomal info, u talk everyday otp and text all day its different
You can't get to know someone when don't see them interact with other people, so it's more you like the persona that H presents on a screen and what she tells you, which has no context. What are your plans with her, like when are you going to meet up?
