I caught up with an old high school friend about 3 weeks ago he came to town from 2 hours away to visit family and friends. I'm currently in a relationship but it's abusive and I'm trying to get out of it. However over a period of 2 and half weeks I think I may have fallen in love with my high school friend. We talk on the phone all night and we have so much in common and my heart beats faster everytime I hear him talk to me and I cry sometimes because I miss him and I feel really bad. The thing is he lives 2 hours away...He said he will move back down to my hometown but it's so hard to hear him say that when he might not be able to keep his promise. I think I am in love but I'm not sure. I can't seem to get my mind off him and when he calls me I have a big smile on my face. I told him that I think I really like him but I haven't told him everything only because I feel like I should hold my feelings back but it's so hard I want to wait for him to move back home but I feel like I also can't wait forever. I have no idea what I should do... Am I in love? According to what I'm telling you? WHAT is happening to me!!!
Tell your high school friend about the abuse. Tell him how you feel about him, let him know you dont want to wait forever but you do want him.
If you cry when you talk to him because you miss him, and you smile when your on the phone with him and things of that sort, you may be in love.
I told some one else this and I'll tell you to... its not the exact thing of what I told them but what I remember of it: Its better to know than not to know at all. You could miss out on something great and wonderful.
I knew a guy for 3-5 years and I found out we could have had a relationship because he wanted me like I wanted him. But the year I found out he moved.. And it was so hard, get him while you can. Don't miss out like I did..(but in my case I now have a wonderful boyfriend whom I love.)
And even if the school friend doesnt like you at least you got away from abuse...and maybe you and your friend can still be friends at least.
It sounds like you're falling in love with him. I definitely think you should give this relationship a chance get away from that abusive creep of a boyfriend and move on with your life. Even if things don't work out with your high school friend at least you got away from your abusive boyfriend. [ QueenofDiamonds's advice column | Ask QueenofDiamonds A Question ]
