how would you deal with haveing a boyfrend over 300 miles away?

Question

my boyfriend moved and now lives 300 miles away and i really want him to be here how would you deal with it.

i am only 16. but we are really serious and love each other

he moved because he had to go to a new high school.

Answer 1

If he moved for work or school, there's no logical way for him to move closer to you before he finishes, unless he finds a new high school / college / job / whatever reason he moved for. If you are out of high school, you could consider moving closer to him, as long as you like the area he's living in and can afford to live there. However, if you could not move at this point, talk to him as much as possible. Try calling once every day or two, just to talk. Supplement this with (less frequent, maybe once or twice per week) e-mails, text messages, myspace or facebook comments, etc. During weekends and holidays, spend as much time with him as possible. Drive or fly to his place and plan events, such as dinner, movies, trips to plays, gambling, etc. Whatever the two of you enjoy doing together is fine. However, if he is able, ask him to come visit you on some weekends and holidays. Try to switch off -- he can visit you one weekend, you can visit him the next, etc. If you do not have an entire weekend, just spend as much time as possible together. 300 miles does not sound too far -- that could only be 1 or 2 states away (or, if you're on the west coast, you could even still be in the same state). If the two of you are really in love and devoted to making this work, I'm sure you can do it! Also, if the two of you can take a week long vacation on the same week, go for it! Try to find a location you'd both love to visit (within reason), and plan activities that you'll both love.

Answer 2

The same way I'd deal with a girlfriend that were 300 miles away. That just wouldn't work out if you live that far apart. If there is the possibility that you could move closer to him then do that, if not, see if he can move closer to you. If that doesn't work, then I would think things wouldn't work out. There is no point in dating someone if you never have the time nor the chance to spend any time with them.

Answer 3

My boyfriend lives over 300 miles away and it's one of the hardest things to deal with, but completely worth it if you are committed to him and he is to you. If you can't see him in your distant future then it's not worth the heartache. I believe that the distance makes you stronger together and it builds trust, but on the real if you don't think he's the one then let it go. I hope things work out for you!

Answer 4

It's going to be rough. You're going to have to do a lot of writing, emailing or calling. IF you can afford getting phone service when you have unlimited calling, that would be the best. You're talking about a 6-7 hr. trip by car & I doubt you're going to be able to do that often. If he really cares about you, I'm sure he feels the same as you. Things don't always work out as we'd like them to. You didn't mention age or the reason he had to move. IF you're young, it's honestly going to be hard for the relationship to servive! Also, if you're young, this is going to be a test if it's really for real or not. You're just going to have to wait & see. True love conquers all!!

Answer 5

My boyfriend lives 240 miles from my home. I got a cell phone with unlimited long distance, we communicate by email, and I drive up there every other weekend to spend the weekend with him. I think our relationship is stronger because of the distance. Our time together is more valued because it is brief. We don't take each other for granted. We've been together for almost 6 years now.

Answer 6

It depends on several things. Ask yourself a few questions. Are you a jealous person? can you trust him? are you a good communicator? How important is the physical in your relationship. I personally could not date a guy who permanently lives that far away. I need physical affection on a constant basis. How long will he be gone? I hope it all works out. it's gonna take a lot of trust and understanding as well as dedication on both of your parts.

Answer 7

I would need more information regarding why he left,,,does he still love you? Is he furthering his education? Has he promised to come back for you? If the answere is yes to these questions,,then you need to be patient and wait for his arrival back. Love,,after all,,,is patient. Good luck dear.
