Keep dating her, other side of the state is not that far. What, were talking about 4 hours or so? Take a weekend each month and go see her! If you like her and ditto for her with you, dont let it get away. Hold on loosely, but dont let go

yea the age difference is no problem in my opinion depending on how u feel about the distance i know a bunch of people who have fine relationships over long distances...one of my best friends has been dating a girl who lives in Chicago for almost 2 years now he says its hard sometimes but he gets through it....i think that there is a lot of trust involved and if you really care about this person then you can do it no problem

WOW! Thanks for all the good advice! She is a Seasonal worker so she'd be leaving at the end of summer anyways. Plus I'm going to be getting a different job at the end of september.

Anyone else......

your bonne is pretty *pets her* oops, what are we talking about again?

heh, long distance doesn't work.. never has, never will.. now.. if you only live a few hours from her, you can do the "halfway" thing.. which would be equal for both of you.. but if you really like driving, you can go the whole way.. I like friends.. maybe because I have so few, but eh, if you are a P.I.M.P. then you don't need "just friends"

For real, if you can trust her, it could be the best for you! See her for only a few days each month, then go hang out with your friends all the other times.

Is she going back to college, or just starting out?

I disagree 100% with everyone who says that a long distance relationship won't work.

You need to do what feels right in your heart.

Distance only makes the heart grow fonder. If it was meant to be, then so be it. If not, then so be it too. A relationship does require integrity and maturity. It'* not fair to say that it requires more trust for a long distance relationship. If you feel that it requires MORE trust, and a temptation is there to be unfaithful, then you need to stand back and reevaluate if YOU are mature enough to handle the relationship.

My wife (girlfriend at the time) were apart for four months a few years ago when she was in Australia student teaching. With us being 8,000 miles apart we really grew to appreciate each other simply because we practically couldn't communicate! It paid off in the end, though....I went over there at the end of her stay and proposed. The rest is history...

I would say go for it! I agree with Vital, I have been through a long distance relationship and everything worked out, granted it was for only 7 months, but it can work.

I'm not saying it won't work, but it'll be difficult because of the whole trust thing. I think the one nice thing that this does have going is that this is her second year of college. She'* been there, done that (I mean that in an innocent way, so shush guys) so there won't be the whole overwhelming "omg! I'm at college, look at the hot guys!" experience, she already knows what'* there. I say if she thinks it'll work, and you want it to work it out, by all means, go for it man!
