how to deal?

[1millionth]

I worked at a summer camp all summer, and it being a boy scout camp , i was warned numerous times about guys being constantly after me. I went up to work with the intention of not getting involved with anyone or anything, but for some odd reason it didn't turn out that way. I will admit, i am only 17, and should have no idea what love is yet. But the guy i meet was completely amazing. I have had past expiriences that cause me to not easily trust people, so when we first dated, i wouldn't even let him put an arm around me. he didn't understand why, but he waited. No matter what i didn't allow him to do, he waited. I am not the prettiest thing on this planet, so i was haveing trouble comprehending why he was even interested in me. When i asked him, his reasons were unbeleivable...everything i ever wanted. We spent the summer together, but at the end, me moved about 3 and a half hours away from me. There are some nights i cry myself to sleep because i miss him so much. Talking on the phone and internet isn't enough. I even get teary eyed when i hear his voice on the phone!! i want to believe my actions are ridiculous, but it feels right. My fear is that it is just another silly teenage relaionship, and i hope its not. is there good enough reason to put up with this distance? is something that i think is love a good enough to be miserable every day i don't get to see him?

I know that long distance relationships are super hard. I am in one right now too. I think that what helps for me while my bf is miles away is to stay busy. i have started reading a lot and spending time with my girlfriends more. I write my bf a lot too when i can't talk to him because i also feel like talking on the phone and instant messaging aren't enough. With time it'll get easier. I know that it's way easier said than done, but trust me and before you know it, it'll be time for you to be together again.

I don't think you are being silly at all. My lady friend lives far away, and it's very, very hard to be apart all the time.

yeah. it is REALLY hard, especially in the beginning. Staying busy helps a lot, and with time it doesn't seem quite so bad!

its really hard, i dont think ive had anything this difficult come accross me. im 14 hours from the guy i am so in love with. Im 17 as well, and ive had some teenage relationships that i know were not real, and that meant very little to me when i look back. this guy, he is truley different, he is everything ive ever wanted in a guy, hes just so perfect for me.

i believe even though beinig miserable, which i sure am right now, even though i just flew there for the weekend and got back last night. I have been miserable since i left him yesterday. i dont want to do a thinig, im just so upset. Itst worth it when u can see him, and its worth talking to him on the phone and everything else.
