ok, if you had to choose between something you really wanted to do, like join the military, become a missionary, or join the peace corp, or a shot at love which would you choose? That's what i'm beingt faced with... i want to leave for the air force, yet i want to keep dating mr. perfect that i've found, but or relationship isn't strong enough yet to withstand a long break, its in the baby stages, but i feel closer to him then any guy i've dated he's amazing, what would you do have you had a similiar experience. I don't want to give it up, because what id he really is the one, or i never find one like him again?

20 is still young. I'm only 23 and I have grown so much since then. I would say for you to pursue your dream for the air force, it is going to help secure your future. If you two are meant to be, you will be no matter what obstacles are in front of you. There will never be another him, because no two people are exactly alike, everybody has special and unique qualities that they bring to the table. If for some reason you two do not work out, you can and you will be able to stand alone no matter how hard you may think it will be living without him. Ask yourself this: Would Mr. Perfect put off his dream to be closer to you? Be all about you when you can be. Because when marriage and children come, your life is not about you anymore. Good luck, I wish you the best.

the dream is something that has been with you for a long time, longer than the relationship. i'm of the "meant to be" types. if it is meant to be then he will be there waiting for you and the relationship can grow. here's the thing, you said that it was in the "baby stages" now, how would you feel if you didn't fall through with your dream and you ended up breaking up down the road? would you lament your decision? if he is truly "mr perfect" for you then he will be there to greet you when you come back to visit, or better yet, will be there to cheer you on as you graduate in san antonio. starting your military career early will benefit you in the long run and, i hate to say it but, there are many more "fish" available when you are traveling in the military. if he is "the one" there will be no distance too great.

what do you love the most? It seems that all of these things are important to you. What if it isn't true love? Then you would regret not doing the other things. Talk to your friend and ask his feelings about waiting. If he says, no, then go. The surest thing is the one that you can do on your own and not have to count on someone else for being there. They can be the most fulfilling as well. And what if you find someone even nicer?

Darling, putting your life on hold for a "maybe" is not a good idea. Either way you will resent the man, and your decision. You're 20. Follow your dreams, Babe.
Remember: We rarely regret what we've done. We always regret what we haven't done.
PS
I had the time of my life in the air force!

I think real love is a gift that only god can give , so if I meet someone who I think I can truly love and for them to love me I would give up any thing or go to the ends of the earth for that one special person, I do believe you only get one shot at true love,
