I had an on/off thing with a guy for over EIGHT YEARS that got to be very serious. I lived in OHIO and he lived in CALIFORNIA. Aside from all the drama and heartache, we spoke almost every day and night on the phone and online, and we were a huge support for each other. We were honest about the people we dated at home, and understood that we just couldn't be together at the time. It didn't stop us from loving each other, but I think about all the things I would have missed if I would have wasted all that time pining over him, because in the end, we realized our worlds were so different that we weren't compatible. You end up wanting very different things out of people as you grow up and get older. More often than not, the people that you are CRAZY about as a young person... the love of your life, the one you'd live and die for... are not the same people when you're in your 20's and 30's.
I'm not trying to say that the feelings you have for your boyfriend are not real or important. They are. My best advice is for you two to vow to just stay honest. Try the long distance thing for awhile. You didn't specify exactly how old you are so I don't know what kind of transportation situation or even how far apart the two towns are that you speak of. But if you two can dig up two webcams, you can basically chat every day as if you were together. If it's too hard, then you two may end up seeing other people. There's an entire world of possibility out there. Just stay true to him and yourself, and you can't go wrong.
Best of Luck!

P.S.-
The one upside to all of this is you can find a whole new group of friends that aren't worthless and conniving. With girlfriends like yours who needs enemies? In the end, this is one of the biggest tests of a relationship that two people can go through. If your boyfriend ends up dating one of your girlfriends behind your back then you're fortunate to see his true colors. [ AnneNonimous's advice column | Ask AnneNonimous A Question ]
