so i like this guy. he was in my school and passed out this year. i am a year junior to him so i'll pass out next year!
i have been talking to him for quite a while now.. and i really like him. he likes me too. he asked me out recently.(though we both are confused on what to do because.. the problem is he is going to another country :/ for his college! and yeah well he would come back to where i live cause his family is here, but still i mean i dont know what i should do?) (link)
To be honest with you, I probably wouldn't pursue this relationship if I was you.

If you start dating him, and then he moves, you have a very serious long distance relationship. You two haven't had the time to bond and get to know each other as a couple, so it will be very hard to sustain a relationship.

And he is going to a whole new place with new people. At some point he is going to be interested in other girls. Because you two haven't been going out for a long period of time, he doesn't feel so attached to you or like it's worth it to miss out on other opportunities.

Out of experience, long distance is hard. You get jealous, you feel left out, you feel lonely. The only reason I do it is because I really care and love my boyfriend, and it's worth it when I do get to see him. Could I see myself putting in this effort when we had only been going out 1,2,3, or even 6 months? Probably not.

I mean, there could also be the chance that he is the love of your life. It's a risk you would have to take.

I say just spend time with him while you can, but don't promise to be exclusive when he starts school. If you two have something special, he'll come back to you.

Good luck,

-Abby

but we will try to make it work out.
