Penta Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 I'm a junior in college, and I just started dating this guy, who is really cute, nice, a gentleman and basically, anything a girl could ever ask for. We have all the same interests and sense of humor, and all his friends are telling my friends that he is crazy about me... So the problem. I really like this guy, and I could I see myself, really, really liking him, but he is going abroad next semester, and... best possible situation I would not see him until June/worst possible situation: September. I really like spending time with him, but in the few days (omg) that we have left together, I don't want to get too invested in this little relationship we have going and then be in limbo for months about what we're doing... because that's just not fair to either of us. On the other hand, I really like him and I don't want to give him the excuse that "Long distance relationships never work..." because sometimes they do.. I guess I'm just really confused, and not looking forward to the day he gets on that plane... Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Cherry Blossom 35 Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Story of my life. You really have only one choice. Enjoy the time he's here without thinking about June or September, or just don't go out with him at all. You can't go into this thinking about the future like that. You never know what will happen. You guys could spend tons of time together, and by the time he leaves, he realizes he's really fallen for you. If you start to talk about the future with this guy, forget it. Also, I've done the study abroad thing. It's a time of fun and new experiences. He's not going to want to make any commitments before he leaves, most likely.
