I am an 18 year old female, very mature for my age, and I know what I want out of life. I went on exchange to Brasil last year for 11 months and basically was on my own, I have seen a whole other side of life that most people never get to see. I always used to think, "I am young, I have time to mess up, to be with the wrong people." Until I met this guy. He is an exchange student currently here in the US on exchange. We texted for awhile before we finally met, and the moment I saw him I knew he was the one. (And I was always the time to not believe in love at first sight and I never thought I had met the one) We instantly hit it off and ever since then we are very happy together. He lives an hour away from me, But we see each other every weekend. It has only been 20 days since we officially met, but we both feel like we are perfect for each other. The plan is for me to go to Brasil for 6 months until he is finished with school and then he will come here and we will be together. What is your advice? Should I take the risk?

Love itself is a risk everyone takes, We take the risk of it not working out, We take the risk of getting hurt, cheating on and so on. However, The fortunate ones end up happily ever after (most of the time) Don't jump to conclusions that he is forever after, Take it one step at a time. At 20 days, You are still getting to know him. Everyone believes differently but I personally do not believe in love at first sight for many reasons, One being people fall out of love and many things happen or can happen along the course of a relationship. One thing you should always keep in mind is NEVER sacrifice yourself for a man. If you two want to date, Fine. However, Don't take a huge risk for someone you just met a month ago, You don't know everything about this person. I'm not saying don't go for it, I'm saying slow it down and don't rush things. You are young, Take it a day at a time because if he really is the one then you'd have all the time in the world. [ OhMyLucyDarling's advice column | Ask OhMyLucyDarling A Question ]
