ok well im 17 and me and my boyfriend met like a month ago at my friends grad party and we just hit it off and now we are an "item". THe bad thing is that he lives in detroit which is like an hour and a half from where i live so we never get to see each other but we talk almost everyday on the phone.we love each other but im just scared to lose him cause i finally found someone worth loving but long distance relationships never work out from what my friends say but i want to know how you guys would handle being in a relationship like mine. thanks
karenR answered Wednesday August 24 2005, 6:37 pm: Hour and a half isn't real long distance considering your age. It is possible for one of you to drive to see the other. Maybe you could switch off and one drive the distance one week and the other the next. If that isn't possible at the moment it will be soon. If you really have a good connection, I vote for giving it a try. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
xomegaroni answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 3:18 pm: i know what you mean! me and my bf live about 2 hours er so from eachother, but our 2 year anniversary was this month, August. If you guys really like eachother er love eachother, you'll fight through the distance part, trust me. plus since you're 17, you guys will be going to college, getting careers, etc. so you guys can plan stuff to do together. actually, an hour and a half isn't too bad. some sucessful couples live across the US. i'd stick with it. it could really work and you don't want to lose him either. juss stick with it!
mysticpixie05 answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 2:53 pm: I'm kinda in the same spot... Only we arent an ITEM. We both like each other and we both love each other. Well the difference is that we are like 8 hrs apart. We talk every day though. But we both want for us to just be happy. And I want for him to go out with girls and do as he wants with them. I mean, I guess thats weird considering we both say that we love each other, but we can't be together with the distance thing. So I just want him to be able to find a girl he can be with and who will be able to be there with him. But idk... I'm not much of a help on this. My only advice is just to not give up on it. If you think its something that you want then go for it. It could work out and it might not. But if you dont try youll regret knowing that it possibly could of been worth it. so try it and dont give it up just like that.
Good Luck and Hope it all works for you. [ mysticpixie05's advice column | Ask mysticpixie05 A Question ]
charmed3fanatic answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 2:33 pm: long distance relationships are hard.. but some work out.. you don't want to throw away what you have because of the distance.. i mean if you really love this kid.. distance can't keep you away from him... i mean also if you realy love him.. im sure sometimes once in a while you can make it work.. you gotta think.. is it worth it... could this be "the one" etc make like a pro and con list.. if you really love this boy i wouldn't throw it away because you live an hour and a half away.. plus maybe twice a month or so one of you can drive down to the other and maybe spend the day/night etc. but if you really love him.. i wouldn't give it all up.. :-) hope i helped and if you need anything else just ask [ charmed3fanatic's advice column | Ask charmed3fanatic A Question ]
xfad3db3autyx answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 2:23 pm: well... i think that it is a possibility that it will last from what you say.. you talk to him on the phone everyday.. you love each other.. so if i were you i would maybe plan a day that he comes up and sees you or you go up and see him and your almost 18 so your going to be going to college soon so talk about what colleges that your thinking of going to so you can go to one that is near each other or possibly the same one even. well i hope i helped!
jj_u_i_c_y answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 1:26 pm: well your 17 so your going to collage soon. ask him wich ones he plans on going to maybe you guys could go to the same schools. also maybe meeting up every weekend or everyother would be what i would do. but telling him how you feel definetly so he know your not just a girl who likes him. but you want to be with him.
sunnyville answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 1:20 pm: Lon distance relationships usually don't last very long I mean it's a big possibility he might meet another girl and may start acting different with you I know because a couple of people in my family happened to them before and had their heart broken in the end.But try not to get into a disagreement because then they lead to a bad discussion which he'll want to find comfort with someone else who will not be you.Have you too send pictures of yourselves?Have you too always never got into a disagreement?You don't have to answer if you don't want to answer it's alright I'm just curious.What's most important for long distance relationships is to have trust in the other and to stick to it.
