You both say almost the exact thing as my friends... one of these friends told me she plans on dating a guy without expecting it to go anywhere; just to date for the hell of dating. I know that when most people say "I love you" half the time it isn' even true love. Usually its only lust. But you can't exactly lust after a person if you can't touch, can you?
As I said as well, moving to Australia wouldn't help much if we had said we'd live in the US. And no, I can't really talk to him on the phone; or phone company charges a lot for long distance; we can barely get a call from the next state over. >_>
And even before I met him, I doubt I ever would for a LONG time. I don't really have much of a social life; I just don't usually get along with people. The only friends I have i see at school and after that, I'm at home. Hell, even my close friends at school don't take me seriously; when I'm sad they think I'm faking it, when I'm crying, they think I'm trying to be silly and when I tell them I'm serious, they laugh at me.
And if I keep my options open, wouldn't that mean being unfaithful? Would you give that advice if he lived only a few states away? Of maybe even a few cities? Besides, I actually DON'T have a lot going for me. If it wasn't for my boyfriend, there's a chance I might not be around today, or atleast I wouldn't be as happy.
Most people today I guess can't understand that people CAN experience love at a young age because most teenagers nowadays fake love and everything about it just to get some. >_>
