Long Distance Relationship
I'm 16/f. My boyfriend is 17.
God, I love him a whole lot. We just started dating, but we've been friends for so long that it's just like what was supposed to happen.
Except...
He lives an hour away from me.
I'm trying to be realistic here, because I'm only sixteen years old, so how does anyone expect a sixteen year old to even WANT to make a long distance relationship work.
It's just that, all the guys at my school are total jerks. And he's tired of all the girls at his school because they're kind of sluts. And we just have liked each other for so long.
It would've been easier if he still lived here, but he moved about a year ago.
I don't know what to do, if I should bother having this relationship or just stay friends. It's hard to make that decision because he's just so sweet to me, looking out for me. And it's so nice to actually have a guy care about you for a change.
Has anybody ever tried a long distance relationship before? Worth it or not?

An hour is not that bad...
i see if there was a state difference..that would suck. but anyway, eventually one of you will get a license and maybe a car...then heyy you guys can drive to each other every other week!
but on the other hand... you guys have been friends for a long time..cool , but it's completely different from being his girlfriend for a long time. you two just started dating you say....then you speak on how girls at his school are sluts and guys at your school are jerks..that shouldnt be a reason to stay with him...really, i hope you guys arent making that a reason. personally i'd try it for a while and if it's not working out i'd tell him its not working out ..take a break.. find new fish in the sea.

An hour is really not that bad. I'm in a long-distance relationship where we're TWELVE hours apart. Is it worth it? If you have strong enough feelings for the person, absolutely. Long-distance relationships actually aren't any more likely to break up or end up cheating on each other than short-distance relationships, even though people think they are.
Basically, you're the only person who can decide if it's worth it for you or not, though. I won't lie to you, they ARE a lot harder than dating someone who lives closer. But like I said, if you like them enough--which it seems like you do--it's definitely worth it.

The truth is that some long-distance relationships work, and some don't.
You'll only know if it works or not if you try it out. I personally haven't had one, but I think if you really like him, then it's probably worth a shot. It's probably not smart to just throw away the relationship without trying to make it work first.

If you love him so much than its worth a long distance relationship. An one hour away is NOT far away. Many people live in different countries on the other side of the world and still love each other. You should stick with him but it's your decision..
