Ohkay, So at the beginning of my freshman year, [i'm a sophmore now] i became really close with a boy in my biology class. he was my BEST FRIEND. around march, we started dating, because we were absolutly crazy about eachother. we're still dating now, but..he moved to minnesota. i didn't think doing a long distance realationship would be bad, since we were dating about five months before he left. but i just feel like i'm holding him back, from, dating other people, or meeting other people. hes absolutly sure that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me. but the other night he told me that hes terrified of losing me, that hes afraid someone else will come along and make me feel the same way he does. i know thats not true at all. but should i still be with him? should i wait til we're older and able to be together, not just "dating together" but physically together, with eachother all the time?
i don't know, i've just really been thinking about it lately. hes the most important thing in my life, and don't doubt it when i say i love him. because i do. i thought i loved other guys before, but it was nothing like this is for me. its the best feeling in the world. i just want to know if i'm doing the right thing by staying with him..

If you feel like you are holding him back then maybe you should wait till you are older. Your both young and should explore the world before you decide to settle down. If you truly do love eachother then you will be together when you are older, but until then you both need to experiment with life before you can say that you found the one. As for him feeling like he is going to lose you is one sign that he needs to get to know other people. If you put your whole world around one person you miss everything that you may need later in life. Im not saying that you two should date other people unless you feel the need to. Im saying that you need to experience life right now because it will be harder when you get older to get away with half the stuff you can now.

For the time being, enjoy what you have. Sure, it might not be physical but if you love each other, carry it on.
Follow your heart. There's no right or wrong thing anyone here can tell you to be honest. If you feel as strongly as you say you do, don't give him up. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
