Welp, it's been a long while since I last posted here. Fortunately this post shouldn't be anywhere near as whiny and stupid as any I've made in the past.
SO, I've recently entered into a long-distance relationship ("long" as in "separated by an ocean"). I really like the girl and she feels the same way and we're determined for it to work, and we want to do the whole "making it official on Facebook and to our families and friends" thing. However, I just can't shake worries that people will react badly and I fear mockery and stuff, plus the fact that my mum has been known to be very iffy about people on the Internet. So I'm uncertain as to how exactly to go about this. Should I tell people about it now (and if so, what would be the best to do that?), or should I put it on Facebook and let people ask about it if they want to?
I'm completely aware that I'm probably overthinking this, but humour me. I thank you in advance for your replies.
