im scared to what my life would be like in the future. im also in this relationship with a muslim girl, not a physical relationship, but we are so in love with each other. I have never met her, we have just exchanged pics and talk most of the time, i want to marry her but i cant tell my parents as yet as im too young.
i have asked Allah to forgive me and i always told my self i would never commit another sin, but i do. My phone got stolen as what i think is the result of my behavour. i am going into university so im trying to get my life sorted out.
is there anyone who can tell me a way of motivating my self to go on the right path, when i do go to the mosque, i love the feeling of holyness and i feel so relaxed looking at the people reading namaaz, and surfing this site also gives me the feeling of happyness seeing so many muslims, but i always turn to do the wrong thing.

Brother you should seek more knowledge of Islam. For instance hadiths, the prophet's companions' lives/deeds, the qur'aan... I recommend lectures regarding the Aakhirah.
May Allah guide you to the Straight path.
Edit: Pray on time and never despair of the mercy of Allah SWT.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And all of you beg Allaah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful”
[al-Noor 24:31]
“O you who believe! Turn to Allaah with sincere repentance!”
[al-Tahreem 66:8]
“Will they not turn with repentance to Allaah and ask His forgiveness? For Allaah is Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful”
[al-Maa'idah 5:74]
“And verily, I am indeed forgiving to him who repents, believes (in My Oneness, and associates none in worship with Me) and does righteous good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them (till his death)”
[Ta-Ha 20:82]
Repentance is essential from every sin, even if it is something between a person and Allaah and has nothing to do with the rights of another person. There are three conditions of repentance:
1- You should give up the sin
2- You should regret having done it
3- You should resolve never to go back to it.
And the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “O people, repent to Allaah and seek His forgiveness, for I repent one hundred times a day.” Narrated by Muslim, 2702 from the hadeeth of al-Agharr al-Muzani (may Allaah be pleased with him).
It was narrated from Abu Moosa ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Qays al-Ash’ari (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah spreads out His hand at night to accept the repentance of the one who sinned during the day, and He spreads out His hand by day to accept the repentance of the one who sinned during the night, (and that will continue) until the sun rises from the west.” Narrated by Muslim, 2759.
It was narrated from Abu ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah will accept the repentance of His slave so long as the death-rattle has not yet reached his throat.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 3537; classed as hasan by al-Albaani.
“Will they not turn with repentance to Allaah and ask His forgiveness? For Allaah is Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful”
