send him love greetings,love e-cards,most passionate romantic love poems...so that he also eagerly wait for the day to make time and come back to meet you and love cherish even aafter getting miles away...
actually my bf also moved 1000 miles away.. but i be happy for him waits till he calls me and we discuss each other's lives to stay connected and then come to our love session whre we express each other soooooo much love which maintain the warmth of our love.and when we each time meet each other ,love increases triple times...try it ya..

Its like he doesn't want to try, he doesn't want to be with me. If I were you and my boyfriend was willing to try too, I would do anything!

Hey hopeless & helpless without him. I'm going through almost the exact same thing!Except my boyfriend is 19 and he cant drive. Lol, but heres my advise to you. If its true love, and you both really love and care for one another, then it will last. I promise you. But, if it's not true, then it will not last. And you will find someone to replace him in you're heart. They maybe not as great as him, but everything takes time. Maybe during the summer, you're parents can drive on of you guys to each others house for a week or two. You guys can always skype, and write letters to one another. Talk on the phone everyday, text a lot. I know it wont be "good enough" right now, but if your love is absolutely true, then it will last. Or, it wont last, even if it is true it might not last. But you guys WILL see each other in the future sometime soon or later. Fait will bring you two back together someday. Time is the key to everything. I hope I helped you some. Good luck!! I hope you two stick it out together and get to see eachother!3

reader, anonymous, writes (25 May 2010): When I was 16 I began dating a boy who lived in the same neighbourhood as me. I fell in love and 6 months later, I moved 3 hours away. It seemed daunting at the time, being so far away from each other and so young. We never really considered NOT doing long distance though.
Fast forward to 3 years later. I am almost 20 years old, and still dating that same boy. We lived long distance for 2 years, visiting each other about 2 weekends a month, sometimes less sometimes more. We are now at the same college. It was difficult and seemed almost impossible at times, but we made it. We talked every day, through texts, phone calls and msn. We also used to send each other cards or letters in the mail.
After 2 years of being apart, it was a bit of an adjustment living in the same city again, and on the same campus. You forget how much you can annoy each other on a daily basis. It was hard to adjust to seeing each other so often as well. Whereas I wanted to spend 24/7 together to make up for lost time, my boyfriend was more content being by himself more. But it was so worth it.. living on our own, we had no rules anymore, no curfews, no needing to ask permission to see each other, etc.
In the end, I am happy I did long distance. It makes your friends' relationship problems seem so trivial. I remember my friend complaining to me one time that she only got to see her boyfriend 4 days a week. Try 4 days a month! All in all I think it made our relationship stronger, and if it is worth it to you, you should try at it. When I found out at 16 that I was moving, my mom told me that things will always find a way to work out if it's meant to be. to be separated from your boyfriend at 16 seems like the end of the world, and 2 years seemed SO long.. we didn't even know if it would be 2 years or maybe longer. But in the end, it worked out perfectly. You will be amazed how perfectly things fall together in life, unlike you had ever imagined but better than you could ever hope for.

reader, anonymous, writes (24 January 2008): My boyfriend just informed yesterday that he was suppost to be moving to New Brunswick today, and I live in Toronto. He told me that he's moving to New Brunswick and that he's ending what we have because he believes it's not easy to keep a long distance relationship. We both really honeslty love eachother sooo much, we have a rare bond most teenagers don't have. I am 16 and he is 17. I just left a message to him that I would be able to visit him this summer, 2008, but I didn't get a responce yet cause I just sent the message. We both really love eachother and I feel why break up are love, if we love eachother enough why not try hard enough to keep this going. I feel we can, I know we can, it's just wether he's willing to believe this will work. My suggestion is that you plan trips to visit him, and if you can't, talk to him on the phone and msn or write letters or something. Because I believe if you love someone enough you can keep it going.

reader, anonymous, writes (7 September 2006): When I was fifteen my boyfriend of about six or seven months moved about 45 minutes away from me. I am now 19 and he's 20 we're still together and very much in love. I like to think that we have a special bond that not many teenagers find, especially at the age we were when we first started dating. In my opinion his move helped us a lot! Unlike most of the couples our age we could NEVER get sick of eachother, and when we were together we appreciated our time together. I am not sure what type of relationship you are in, but the best advice I can give you is to make sure you trust eachother. Given the circumstances you HAVE to believe that he loves you and give him the type of respect that you would like in return. It will be a difficult task for the both of you but if it's meant to be it will work out, and it will be worth every second of it.
The bond between my boyfriend and I is spectacular. I am starting college in a few weeks about 3,000 miles away from him, and in my heart I know that we'll make it through this as well. Just keep a positive and trusting attitude... and keep the relationship more fun and less serious. Good Luck :)

reader, anonymous, writes (1 January 2005): Dear H&HWOH
First things first: you are going to be neither hopeless nor helpless
without him. You're a person, too, you know! You have to make your own
decisions, whether he's nearby or not.
If you both want your feelings to remain strong and if you both work at
staying up-to-date with each other, you'll strengthen your emotional
bond and you will find a way to continue. When I say you have to work
at it, I mean it, too. You can't sit around feeling sad and sighing and
wishing things were different and have any chance of succeeding. It's
important to you both that you accept the reality of your situation
right now, and plan for it. Rather than moan and grizzle about the
unfairness of Life - it IS unfair; welcome to the club! - you and he
need to brainstorm how, realistically, you're going to stay in touch and
involved in each other's lives. Enter email. Enter text messaging.
Enter snail mail. Enter school holidays.
You're both going to be finishing school for the next couple of years,
so do be realistic with your plans! You can't possibly promise that
you'll write religiously, every single day, and still keep a)
interesting and b) keep up with your other obligations, but set up
something that will work for both of you. A long, weekly snail-mail
letter with photos, for example, so you can stay updated with each
other's hobbies and friends and interests. Buy pre-paid phone cards and
allow yourselves one phone call now and then, so that you can really
catch up and see if the spark remains. Send each other little
keepsakes. Text message when you can. Get ICQ if you don't already
have it. And email, of course, but make them count; don't take each
other for granted. If you're still in love in another seven months, or
another year, your parents might be willing to concede that you really
are a couple and might help out with the occasional visit until you're
old enough to drive.
Having said that, if the two of you actually do grow apart, don't be too
sad. It happens. And it might have happened whether or not you lived
apart. People mature and change and very few relationships that start at
the age of 14 continue into adulthood. Think of this as a way to grow.
