I think you already know what's best for you, and that's to remain unattached for a while. You're still young and have a lot of life left ahead of you, places to go and people to meet. Tell him honestly, just like you did here, that you care for him very much, but you're young and your life is here. You're proud of him, and you'll always be supportive and will write and stay in touch. You never know...when he gets back, you guys might be in a better standing to have a relationship, or you may both be glad to be untethered. Either way, only time will tell on that one. Good luck.

ok i think that its up to you. if u really like him stay with him but the thing since he'll be going into the army that means you'll be worrying about him all the time, which i'm sure u wouldnt want. maybe you should think about it and ask him what he wants to do. if he wants to be in the relationship or he wants to break it off 2. but i think u should break it off cuz hes leaving and you should be worrying about what u want to wear and where u want to go instead of worrrying if hes ok. well good luck

Don't break it off just because he's leaving. If its not to be then you will gradually drift apart anyway. If you meet someone else or if he meets someone else. He will have a lot to cope with over the next months and you can still be there for him and maybe end up being his best friend.

i have the perfect advice, I was 15 when i met my husband, he was 24, I had these same questions, now im 19, im still wtih him, and we're happy, as long as you love eachother, dont let go of it, if you trust him to be faithful and yourself, stick together. If you believe that you are mature enough to be in a serious relationship then stay together. BUT, if you only LIKE him, it wont work.

Take it from me, at 16 you aren't going to wait until he gets back. Think of what you will miss, who will you dance with, who will take you out, will you have a prom date? And these are only questions for you. What about him, will he be true to you? Will he go out with his buddies? Will they be picking up girls? I know the saying is "absence makes the heart grow fonder", but experiences show, "absence makes the smart go yonder". Not to say the situation you are in has never resulted in a long term relationship and lifetime marriage, but the odds are against you. Best of luck in whatever you do.

If you really like him, I would stay with him. I don't know why you want to break it off...maybe you think you won't miss him as much? or is it the age difference? it doesn't sound like that ever mattered before...

i would stay with that person because if you care about him you should stand beside him and see what would could come up next , but it's all about how you would feel if you broke it off with him or stay with him.

leave him for now. If it's meant to be, then he'll totally forgive you you for messing around while he's gone.

If you like him then no amount of distance will affect that.
