>she wants to move to the US from Japan, not necessarily just for me
>living with me had been her only hope for being able to afford living here/safety/security and all that
>I'm just not ready to live with her yet
>however, our relationship will suffer the longer it stays long distance
What do?

Bring her here then. Don't let her be a parasite though.
She likes to do something?
if she wants to get a visa and move here cool.
do not do the marriage immigration thing. you will be destroyed on every possible level
>>17927598
Help her get a visa and adjusted. This could be a gateway to having a lady and getting her here. Take a chance if you like her. You may have to leave your comfy zone for a bit, but make it clear that she will need to put forth some effort (get a job, help out, etc.).

It's not easy to come to live here permanently, or even to get an extended visa. Come March, she'll no longer be a student. She applied to some grad schools here but she basically will need to find a full-time job.

Marriage is a long way down the line, and again a US visa is really difficult to get (believe it or not)
>>17927621
She's completely capable of finding the means to live on her own, but it may take a lot longer to save up money before moving here. She couldn't just, for example, find a full-time job and move here right away. She'd need some more savings. The need for a lot of savings would've been partially mitigated if she were able to live with me
>>17927633
Are you a foreign student too then?
Or are you a US citizen?
If you are not from here and planning to stay here for few more years then it is time to say good byes to her.
The sooner the better.
>>17927633
I realize the difficulty in obtaining US Visas. That's why I wanted to warn against stupid things like her convincing your dick to let her come over by way of marriage. A lot of idiots fall for that you know.
>>17927644
No, I'm a US citizen.
>>17927598
>What do?
just say no
she moves in this will fail almost guaranteed
How'd you find a qt japanese girl? I want one
>>17927598
Find a woman who lives closer to you to date?
>>17927598
this is why you dont date long distance. you're not dating. and unless you just started talking recently you will likely never feel comfortable.
because no one wants to go from 'weve never met' to 'living with each toher' over night.
