He's my very first boyfriend, and my first love. I know that once I mention for how many days we've been in a relationship, most people will think it's a crush and it'll go away with time.But I met this guy quite a long time ago, and I was entirely into him for a reason I still don't know. When we first met, we didn't talk that much, but I found myself feeling something strange about him, and waiting eagerly until my group of friends invited him along once more. Our eyes met quite a lot of times and we both looked away; I must have looked strawberry red for sure.About two weeks ago, we all went to a theme park to have fun. Before I got there, I had this feeling that something might happen. He was there, and, he was the one to start a conversation with me this time. We were walking and talking about all the random things your mind could think of, and I adored the fact that he was smiling a lot while talking and listening to me instead of paying more attention to his own words. That's when I realized that I had been avoiding to accept that I did like him, a lot, and decided to do something about it. After all, I felt so comfortable around him it was ridiculous.I took the courage and asked him to sit together on a ride. We did, after all, and while we were up high during the ride, we ended up joking and laughing about lots of things, and we just looked at each other smiled. It seemed like the ride lasted longer than it was meant to, it felt like I had been with him for hours. We we got off the ride, we barely followed the rest of our friends, we stayed behind just talking and laughing. Then, without thinking, I asked for his number, and I gave him mine.It all happened so quickly my mind still can't handle all of it. We talked so much that day, had so much fun together...When we left, he had to go home, and I went with the rest of our friends at a cafe for a short while. Not much later, he txted me saying he had a really great time with me, that I'm a very lovely person and he even dedicated a song to me.Ever since that day, we kept on txting, day and night, and we exchanged msn adresses, and also talked on msn. We got to know each other way too much in just two days. He even sent me messages such as "I miss you", "I really want to see you", "Spending time with you is what makes me happy"..And I was actually feeling like I was in heaven.Soon after, we decided we'd meet with our friends again. We are a group of 8 friends, and when I saw him again after these days of txting and talking non stop, I swear my heart skipped a beat. We talked again, for a long time, and then I asked him if we could go for a walk along for some time. So we excused ourselves, and went to the park nearby to talk. I couldn't stop myself, I confessed to him. And he just smiled at me. He told me that, it was obvious he felt the same way about me. And we decided to start dating.Ever since, we've been talking even more. We went on four dates alone, spent about 6 hours each time together. On our third date, we kissed, and it was the most magical moment in my entire life.Let's get to the point...I love him, I really do. I know maybe it's too early to think that I do, but I really can't describe my feelings in any other way. And as we were sitting on a bench together at the park at our last date, he suddenly told me he loves me. And that he knows that maybe it's too early, but that he really feels it, and wants to let me know.But, there's one large problem. I'm going to university this year, and it's quite far away from where I live and he lives...Which means, we will soon be a long distance couple. And it kills me inside, I can't handle the thought of being without him for days. I'm also scared he might meet someone else at his own college...We talked about it, and he said there won't be anyone else, but I'm still scared. I know for fact that I feel way too much for him to want to do anything with any other guy..But the distance will be a huge obstacle. Of course, I'll be coming back as soon as I can, and he'll be coming too, but, still..I'm afraid.Do long distance relationships really work? Is there something we could do to keep the relationship alive even when we're far apart...? Thank you.

They can work, but very rarely because they need so much input. The question is, are you ready to put that much energy and commitment into a relationship and is your boyfriend? If the answer is yes, go for it. If either of you feel uneasy about it at all, then it won't work. You will have to give it 110%, and that means both of you.
