Here's the deal, I like this guy at school, and we have one class together. I'm not even entirely sure that he likes me back, but I'm willing to pursue a relationship with him if it comes up. Thing is, he's a senior, I'm a freshman, and if we considered dating each other now, summer would come and end all too soon and he would be off to college. What should I do? Get to know the guy and possibly get hurt in the near future, or move on and possibly pass up a wonderful oppurtunity to get to know someone.. Please help, I'll rate!
Signed,
Dilemma

He will go off to collage pretty soon and if you guys start dating you will get hurt and he will move away. You dont have to completly get over him. Be friends with him! You can still talk and everything. But if you guys do become something more then just friends maybe a long distance relationship will work out. Maybe but maybe not. I still think you guys should just be friends and have the oppritunity for you to meet someone else! Im sure you will find someone else that you like as much as you like this guy! x0` [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

But trust us, if you don't go for it..you'll always be thinking of the 'what if's'.
OnceABeautifulMess answered Thursday May 12 2005, 10:03 pm: I was recently in a very similar situation! I met a guy may, last summer, and he was just amazing! Things were great for about two months, but as August approached, we both began to question what we were going to do. He was leaving for school (freshman year of college) and I was about to start my senior year of highschool. We basically decided that we would take a break.
I am happy to say though that today we are together still! December, he came back for holiday break, and we knew that we still wanted to be together.
So--my advice for you is to just take things day by day. Enjoy the summer with this boy. But make sure you keep up good communication. If I could go back, I would have tried to talk to Pat (my boyfriend) about him leaving sooner than when we did.
By talking early, and just taking things slow, it will help build your relationship, and you may find things easier when school rolls around to stay together!! By having good communication between you two, the trust you both will have for eachother will automatically become stronger as a result, and for most long distance relationships, having that strong trust is so important.
Good luck, and I hope I was of some help! Please keep me updated with how things go! Also--just remember, you are still young, and so like I said before, take things day by day, everything happens for a reason! [ OnceABeautifulMess's advice column | Ask OnceABeautifulMess A Question ]
x0xMrSm answered Thursday May 12 2005, 5:35 pm: my advice...go for it. its like the quote goes: 'its better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all'...i think thats it.
cuz if a relationship does come outta it...and then he goes to college...who knows? maybe you'll still keep in touch or something.
but bottom line: GO FOR IT! [ x0xMrSm's advice column | Ask x0xMrSm A Question ]
Jazzyfizzle answered Wednesday May 11 2005, 9:56 pm: You should get to know him and such, but dating him wouldn't be worth it...unless you're just looking for a summer fling. Depending on what state you live in he could possibly get into legal trouble also. I say you should stay friends with him and let nature take its course. But start looking around for someone else...they're are more fish in the sea then you think.
augustagurrl answered Wednesday May 11 2005, 9:16 pm: i say either get 2 know him and hang out with him for the last like..two weeks of school. then try to stay in touch with him when he goes off to college...
..or..just dont start a relationship with him and instead check out the other freshmans, juniors seniors and sophmores. im sure there are some decent boys in them . and if not..youll find the right guy someday. i promise.
hope i helped a little
