Thanks for all the good advice and intelligent responses. No, she's not an internet girlfriend, I met her while she was going to school here to learn english. Since then I've been to Mexico to meet her family, they all love me, and yes she knows exactly what I do for a living and visits my website regularly to see what I've been writing about! She is very supportive and insists that I do what makes me happy. She's 26, a little bit older than I am..
All my life people have been telling me I am too young. I was the first kid in my city to take co-op courses (when I was 13) I helped start and operate a million dollar plus business when I was 14, was a consultant for Air Canada, Ford, Kellogg's, etc when I was 16, got a quarter mil in VC money when I was 18, etc. I even managed to get my highschool diploma somewhere in there, they laughed because my mom actually attented my school more than I did the year I graduated. ;)
Still, I try to be wise and jumping in headfirst isn't always the best bet. They aren't "hardcore catholics" by any stretch, but they have a lot of family values that I respect, and I haven't introduced her family to what I do, not because I'm ashamed, but because I'm scared of how their opinion of me could change when really I haven't. I just don't see how a see-through skin-tight shirt makes everything okay.
Anyways keep the experiences coming! You all have given me some good things to think about.
