Question Posted Wednesday October 24 2007, 6:01 am
So, me and my friend just admitted to liking each other about a week ago and we've been talking about dating and being together.
Theres a huge problem, it's way bad timing. He will be leaving for the Marines soon after Thanksgiving. We are both happy to wait but the thing is that this JUST started. I mean, we aren't in love so I'm not sure if these feelings will just fade overtime on his part and I'll be waiting for someone who can't break up with me.
But I really think this guy is great and I'd be passing up the chance with someone wonderful, so I'm pretty stuck.
So I'm wondering if it's a bad idea to start something and ANYONE who has experience to please share their stories, I'm open to any answer:)

She was about 17 and he was about 20 when they started going out and just like you around Thanksgiving he had to leave. She stayed with him and they hung out everytime he came home for a visit. They eventually got engaged and she stayed with him though it was hard to be so far(she lived in California and he was stationed in Japan). They spoke on the phone almost every night and loved eachother very much-couldnt wait til the moment they could get married. She is 19 now and they broke up because he kept keeping secrets, drinking a lot, and kept accusing her of cheating though we actually thought that he cheated on her with women in Japan.
My best advice would be to stay friends but CLOSE friends. Then maybe later you continue on with a RELATIONSHIP. Its so hard and I've seen first hand that it hurts if and when it ends. Think about it and your options. I say just make the remaining time you guys have together fun and meaningful and the rest will come after.

When he comes back if you still have the feelings for him you did before you'll know that you are supposed to be together.
hope this helped =] [ xlivexyourxlifex's advice column | Ask xlivexyourxlifex A Question ]
