Okay, i met this guy (Steve) last weekend. and he is incredible. he lives way over the other side of Australia though. he was here on holidays and i met him out clubbing. we talk every day and he is going to move here. the strange thing is that i'm not usually like this. i'm a very guarded person - afraid of getting hurt. my last boyfriend and i were together for 8 months and he was head over heals for me. i tried so hard to love him back but when i finally realised i didn't i had to end it. he didn't take it well. he cried and yelled and i felt so terrible. i hadn't dated since him. he wanted to move closer to me (only half an hour drive) and i said i didn't want him to do that on my account. now here i am telling Steve that i want him to move accross the country and i've only known him a week. could it really be love at first sight? i cant imagine my life without him. should i back off? or tell him not to move for me? i'm so confused! HELP!

If you've never been this way and Steve has caused your heart to open up, you might be in love, or maybe your heart is excited that you're back in the game, if you get what I mean. Don't back off, because that will make you sad and depressed and you'll never know what it could have been like. I suggest you call him and talk to him, a lot, so you get to know him more and more, and ask him if he's really ready to do it, if he is willing to and that kind of stuff. If he really seems like he wants to do this for you, then what the hell, let him do it, but if you're unsure and he's seeming unsure, tell him before you both make a mistake. Good luck, I hope you guys are happy! <3 [ footballchick2's advice column | Ask footballchick2 A Question ]

If he's willing to move across the country [I'm assuming he's around 20], then he obviously likes you in someway. That doesn't necessarily mean its love- he could very well be just wanting you for sexual reasons [sex or whatever else]. Just because you "can't imagine your life without him" after just one week of knowing him for less than a week, doesn't make it love. I think it would be safe to call that lust. That surely doesn't mean "back off", it just means to be careful. You don't know Steve too well and you don't want to dive to deep into this too fast. Take it slow and see how it works out. Don't feel rushed to do anything you don't want to.
