I think I'm in love! with someone 1000 miles away...
Question Posted Tuesday August 30 2011, 5:49 pm
This summer I went to a place a 1000 miles away from my home with my aunt and uncle for the third time. Three days before we left I met one of the local boys who was friends with my brother when he went there. I am very into hiking so we went hiking together. We got along very well and I felt attracted to him. He is 18 and I am 16. I have never met someone who I instantly liked a lot. I feel like I may be exaggerating and acting over the top but I feel like we belonged together. I have never felt this way about any other guy I have been with for a while. I felt heartbroken to leave three days later because we spent all our time together.I wish he was more talkative on facebook, it would be easier for us to keep close. I was even thinking about looking at colleges where he lives so I could be near him. Is this ridiculous of me? What if he doesn't even like me anymore when I see him in a year? Should I put aside my feelings for him for now? Thanks for your advice!

I'm not trying to be an asshole....I'm pointing out the obvious.
You both spend a nice 3 days together, You should of known beforehand that it wasn't going to be anything more than a quick friendship. You've allowed yourself to feel more than what it was and now you've sat on it too the point where you are living in your fantasy world. You are 16 years old, In another 2 years you will be 18 and you will mature, meet new people and life will go on for you and for him. To allow yourself to be hung up on someone who lives miles away and will never be able to have a relationship with is torturing yourself, You are holding yourself back and preventing yourself from possibly finding real happiness in your location to where you are now. Stop looking at colleges to be close to him, That is a really awful reason to even want to go to any college. College should be about what is suitable for you career wise NOT so you can be with someone who you will eventually get over in a few years. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
