Not that I'm a girl, but my impression anyway.

Well, I am a girl, and that's my impression
Can you have deep feelings for somebody you've only met online? Of course. Does that equal a relationship? No. Does it mean a relationship could exist once you take away the keyboards? Maybe, maybe not.
One thing... please stop with the self-pity thing! You're so much better than that! I don't know you very well, but from what I've seen of you here, you are a very sweet guy. A girl would be lucky to have you. You'd make a fantastic boyfriend.
But here's the thing... you like this girl, right? She seems to like you, but she's also said to you in so many ways that she's not looking for a relationship with you (not to say that you are with her necessarly). She said she loves you....as a friend. You have to take that and put it in your pocket for what it is.
Who knows what could be if you two were face to face. Maybe you'd fall deeply in love. Maybe youd realize that you're good friends. If you want to persue something, one of you needs to pony up and make it happen. Get on the plane. Is that an easy choice to make? Of course not. But it needs to be done. And it not.... well, you just need to hold onto the fact that you have a great friend out there in California and leave it at that.
I know how easy it is to get attached to people who you talk to online for hours at a time. I've been there. But eventually you realize that it's not going anywhere. Or you take the chance and see if it will.
Wow I'm writing a lot. Sorry. Anyway, you have so much to offer. I think you're just offering it to the wrong girl
