I've been dating this person for about two months, and I have become really attached to her. She is on my mind all of the time, I really don't think an hour goes by that I don't think about her. She gives me a sense of completeness that I have never felt with anyone.

 

I am very worried about becoming too attached, given that we both will be going our separate ways in a few months. I am graduating school and going into the work force, and she has another year of school before going on to something else.

 

Even if we did decide to keep something going between us, I don't know how much faith I would have in a long distance relationship. I just don't know what to do. It seems every time we are together we just get closer and closer. Am I just setting myself up for a world of hurt?

How far away are you going to be moving from your school? If you can make a few trips a month even to see her that would be manageable, IMO. But I've never been in a LDR, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. :p

 

Another question is what kind of girl is she. Does she strike you as the kind of girl that would get bored being "tied down" to someone she doesn't get to see regularly, or do you think she would be willing to put in the effort of long distance? If she's ready to settle down somewhat and you're within a reasonable distance of her, I'd say keep it going. Just some things for you to think about.
