Need movie name

I’m looking for the name of a romantic drama movie I watched a long time ago. The plot revolves around a girl who was abused by her stepfather during her teenage years. At the beginning of the film, she is living with her mother and meets a guy in an internet chat room, where her nickname is “Sizzle Girl.” She finds a guy with a strange profile picture and adds him to chat.

They eventually meet in real life, and when she visits his apartment, she falls down the stairs and injures her knee. The guy helps her sanitize the wound in his apartment, and they fall in love. He is trying to become a priest, but he struggles to give up girls and sex.

Later in the film, the girl sees him in church wearing his priest suit, and he sees her as well. They argue because he has been hiding his profession from her, and in one scene, she pushes him into a swimming pool out of anger. Toward the end of the film, he helps her and her mother confront her abusive stepfather, who returns later in the story.

This is all I remember about the film. I don’t recall any actor names or other details, but I would be grateful if someone recognizes this movie and can tell me its name so I can watch it again.
