Throughout our time as friends I was in a two year relationship with this other guy and we have now recently broke up. So my best friend told me that he has had feelings for me since he met me but could never act on them because I was always with my ex boyfriend. We've been dating for a few days and we have a strong sexual attraction to eachother. He is a marine and is stationed in a different state. He is currently visiting his hometown right now where I live, and that is when he asked me out during his time back. We have another 25 days together before he leaves and we have both agreed that we would continue to having a long distance relationship. I would fly to see him every so often. We felt that we could pull this off because he was been in the marines for over a year now, and we maintained a strong friendship during that time and made visits to see eachother as friends... so Why would it not work with a relationship? My question is am I naive for dating someone who is far away for work, what can I do to make long distance relationships work, and when is the right time to do the deed. We have known eachother for two years and know everything there is to know about eachother. So how long do I need to wait then? Would it ruin anything if I did it before he leaves? I am looking for a strong long term relationship, so I don;t want to jump in the bed and ruin anything.Thank you!!!

 He may be lovely, he may be what you want BUT he's not there for you. He's away on a ship most of the time, is that what you really want? You are too young to sit at home and waste your life away waiting for a man who cannot be with you. You should be going out enjoying yourself at your age. Where is all this leading to? He's probably going to be in the marines for most of his life. It may be best to keep him purely as a friend and to find yourself a proper boyfriend who you can see frequently.
