writes:heres the scenario..we are both 16, in highschool, met when we were 14, have been dating for almost two years, i switched to a different highschool and we've been fine. I believe we are in love, we never have the stupid problems all of our friends have, and we always talk things out. We've never felt the need to breakup and we've never even had a fight where we have said that we don't love eachother. he assures me that he hasn't lost any feelings for me,and i feel the same way. but here's the deal..next year is senior year and he's going away to hockey prep school half way across the country..and we have decided we can stay together. Do you think we will be able to last, are we in love? I mean i feel like we are..and i believe it..i just don't want to be naive. please help!! especually if you knoww about LDR's!:( Reply to this Question

 absence makes the heart grow fonder. my fiance and I are in a slightly long distance relationship. He is in his senior year of highschool and I am currently in my freshman year of college, an hour and a half away. really the only time I see him is every two weeks if we're lucky he'll come to spend a weekend with me, and every time I see him the sparks fly and the wait was ALL WORTH IT!!! we are still going strong and are now beginning to plan our wedding.he is going to be joining the marines... the rest of our lives will be a long distance relationship... but I know I love him, so we are going to make it work.like I said before... absence makes the heart grow fonder ;)

 Just my two cents, but I think, at 16, you're still too young to know about love. Now is not the time to be tying yourself into an LDR...You still have so much growing to do, and so many experiences to enjoy, it really doesn't make sense to "wait for him"...I know it's not what you want to hear. And I know you believe wholeheartedly in your feelings for each other. But, realistically, your chances of making it through the next 2-5 years together are extremely small (not zero! but very small, sweetheart).Maybe you can make a promise/pact to meet again in a couple years and then, if you still love each other, great! But in the meantime, get out and meet other people, have other relationships, and really learn about the wide gamut of other people/personalities there are out there. You still have a lot of growing to do!
