I dated this guy for a little while when we were in middle school, and then he moved away. Obviously it wasnt very serious but now, 8 years later, he got back in touch with me. He lives on a base in PA and we talk online every day and on the phone, and i think i'm really falling for him...but...he is a marine and is getting deployed to iraq in 10 days. Hes the greatest guy i've met in a long long time...and i really want to wait for him...i think he's worth it. but he says i need to find someone that can be better for me, hes afraid he'll come home and have changed too much. i really don't know what to do...can anyone please give me some words of wisdom?

you guys can still chat and send emails while he's over there. just stay in contact with him, and you guys can pick up where you left off when he comes back. until then, live your life, as he will be living his.

You take the next following ten days and make it chemistry between yall. It is forever memory. Do you know if he feel the same way about you? Cos u seem more into him than he in you. Or maybe he is not even trying. Or maybe he loves you very much that he doesnt want you end up hurting. How long have you guys been back in touch? Has it been very short term? Then, you should not rush it. I think if things dont turn out as best; you should think more about his safe return rather to have him with you. God knows what is best for us. Turn to the Lord.

I would ask him where the relationship is going. My friend and her husband just got married a year ago. He was deployed to iraq and she was left home for a year. She told me she went to bed and cryed every day because she was so sad and lonely. it is very hard having someone overseas. SO YOU definietly need to decide if he is worth it. remember also: you can send him letters...which is quite romantic if you ask me
Good luck and best wishes

I think you should wait, when he does get back he will need someone to help him recover from what he saw in Iraq and will need support. I know he told you to find someone else but he was probably just being nice. My opinion is that you should wait for him.

I sugest that you date in the mean time. test the waters.
Rember, just beause your waiting for him for 2-3 years dosnt mean its gona last. It could go on for a week and you would have been out of 2-3 years.
You can still like him and date him when he gets back, but for now take his advice

i say if you think that he is the one you can love forever and that you want him to be it..tell him that you will wait for him and that he wont change when he knows he has a great girl waiting on him to come and love him for better or worst...love is hard to find and you have found it you need to grab it andhold on to it with everything you have in you...

You should ask him ...if he is telling you that you need to move on...why? Because he is scared? Or because he knows it may not work out.
