Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
yes they can work, but you just got to work them differently and manage your expectations.
How far away is he, and what kind of age are you guys
he’s 18 and i’m gna be 17 in feb..
well.. i live in malta.. it’s like.. under italy if you didn’t kno lol
and he lives in ireland.
xeno dragon, we were thinking about meeting.. but not like.. one of us moving
or anything, just meeting like he comes here for a week or so then i go there idk
:/
i really like him though :(
If yuor clear about what “works” means to you both.
If you are not getting phyical, then your missing a huge part of the bond in relationships.
What do you want from it? Do you think you will get it? and same for him.
i don’t know what you mean by that..
umm i don’t know.. i just know that
i’ve never felt about anyone like this
ever.. i never usually say that so :/
and he always tells me he loves me..
and he’s not one to lie about these things
long distance relationships do work, but only if there is complete trust and faith on both sides. do you trust him completely? and do you have a basis for that trust?
yeah i do trust him completely i really do
he’s got an amazing character..
we clicked immediately
then its fine. in fact, thats great. my best friend lives miles away from me, and we see eachother around twice a year, but we still keep in touch perfectly well. don’t worry about it, your relationship won’t be affected by the distance.
cool. so what do you want? and whats stopping you?
If you want something, go after it. simple
well.. i want to go out with him..
but i’m scared about the distance
thing..
but yeah tristessetoujours you’ve got
a point. thank you both so much for
your help
whats scaring you.
I agree with trist that it can work, but distance does affect things, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing, just got to work with it.
yeah.. other people told me that it’d be better if it were long distance coz
you don’t get used to the face, which would make it more exciting.
i don’t know what’s scaring me.. i’m just kind of clueless when it comes to these things
so if you had a clue, you’d not be so scared? LOL
Step through it a bit if you want. What do you feel clueless about? Asking him out, or how to maintian that trust/love long distance?
LOL i guess xD
yeah i’ve never been faced with this situation before
i don’t know haha
yeah LOL they are
we’re gonna meet in 2 weeks time see how things go from there :)
all the best. Keep positive and in the moment, and look after youself.
Enjoy.
thank you so much both of you :)
