Hi everyone,

 

I am happy to report that I'm falling in love with a wonderful man, and him with me. We had been friends for a couple of years through a mutual interest. I have always fancied him, but had written him off as a romantic prospect because I knew that he had a long-term girlfriend whom he loved very much. A few days ago he told me that he has broken up with his long-term girlfriend and fallen for me. :love: He was very honourable when he was with her, and never cheated on her as far as I know. He said that he didn't want to hurt her but their three-year relationship had come to a natural end on both sides. He says that he is over her and doesn't want to get back together with her.

 

We have spent the last two days together, talking into the early hours of the morning and doing fun things. It just feels right and I am ecstatic to be around him. Although we have spent two nights together, we haven't had sex yet and in fact have only kissed. He has been a true gentleman and said that he wants to wait until I feel totally ready to sleep with him (although we both really want to). He slept on the floor last night because I was too hot to sleep, and he brought me breakfast in bed both mornings. He has hinted at a future together even though it's early days. I'm totally smitten at this stage.

 

Here's the problem: we both graduated from college today and have returned to our parents' houses around 200 miles apart. I am busy all of next week and then I'm going travelling. He is going travelling (in a different part of the world) shortly after me. In total, we will both be away for a couple of months, returning around late August/early September.

 

I'm delighted to have spent a couple of amazing days with him, but I'm also gutted that we have not been able to spend more time together. He says that we'll stay in touch and meet up when we return, but despite his good character I'm worried that that won't happen. I'm worried that he'll meet someone else or not be interested in me in a couple of months' time. And if he is, it just seems like such a long time to wait. :( I have been looking forward to my summer travel for ages and I don't want to waste it by constantly moping around and missing this guy.

 

I'd be grateful for any advice/reassurance about what to do at this stage.

You could meet someone else yourself. If you've known this guy for years a few months won't matter. Being apart might actually help your relationship if you both miss each other.
