okay well, first off i am 17 years old. I used to live in Maryland, but I recently moved to Florida. In Maryland there was a guy that I liked alot at my old high school but I never really got around to getting to know eachother really really well we were just say hi in the hallway kinda thing. Well when I was visting about a month ago I saw him and we talked alot and got to know eachother alot! It was alot of fun but I had to leave a week later. We have been talking online, on the phone, through myspace, and texting eachother alot lately and he is so nice and caring and just seems perfect..even though im sure he has flaws like we all do. Well basically I really like him but I dont think a relationship would work out..like maybe we could be "talking" instead of boyfriend and girlfriend because of how far we are from eachother?? what do you all think?? please help me out guys

Okay long distance can work. My now husband and I did it for nearly 3 years and I was in college and he in the Marine Corps and still is. I do not regret it, but I can see the importance of dating around and experiencing life not waiting by the phone or wishing weeks/months away until the next time you see one another. Trust me, if it is meant to be, regardless if you just be friends and see what hapens in the meantime, if it is meant to be, it will.

Well you will talk just like penpals. You should just tell him that too bad you could not have stayed and maybe things might have worked out better. But that you realize that long distance relationships do not work, but you can keep in touch and let each other know how you are doing and the people you go out with.
He may or may not go for this. Just a matter of priority. Like do you want Mexican food or Italian food. You all may text each other but then when you DO find someone you really like then you will find that you do not have the time for someone far away. Now you do because you are not dating no one. Just imagine if you were still there with him. Do you think you would have time to chat with anyone on the internet? Don't think so.

first of all, i didnt mean to discourage you but this is just an opinion. Being 17 is such a precious year, at this age you will want to make new frens, go out on a date...or lotsa dates...making mistakes, breaking your heart, fight with your little bro and stuff. For a 17yrs old , wanting to commit to someone, and wanting to commit to someone in a long distance relationship is a big thing. Commitment itself is and issue and distance is just another. Lack of trust and honesty will never make this thing work. Trust me, even at this age, long distance relatinship is not really my forteit. Been there, done that. It didnt work out. At first we thought we are going to try everything under the sun to make it worked, but somehow, it was just too depressing.
My advice is to open your dating option at this new place. He should be doing the same thing. At least, upon mutual agreement, both of you can remain as fren than having one fight after another on who cheated on whom and end up hating each other for the rest of your life. Anyway, good luck!

Well that's about the only thing you can do is "talk" because a long distance relationship NEVER works out.

As long as there is good communication, trust, true love and commitment, it could work...
Get to know each other better. Take it slow. I know for experience that if you fall in love with someone who lives far away, it could be hard because there is more than one occasion when you miss terribly and that you wish that the person was with you.

There is an old saying. Distance makes the heart grow fonder. I think that is a crock. Out of sight, out of mind, is more like it. I think you should find someone in your area, and have a normal life. If he is the one, and if it is meant to be, then it will happen.

i can tell you now...long distance relationships will not work out. Trust will come to play and i guarantee you that ya'll won't have time to waste like that. I know you like him alot but i think you should keep it just as friends. Its for your best interest.

well, first of all a long distant relationship..is in fact hard, especially if you both have no way of getting to see each other, regularly. so, yu're right, a "talking" relationship, would be best, instead of a boyfriend and girlfriendd relationship. yu diffently had the right idea!

17? Long distance relationship?
Stay friends and send emails once a month letting each other know about the great dates you've been having locally.
