We walked on the beach for an hour and a half and just talked about everything.We are both 14 years old and get along really really well. Only problem is that he lives in Virginia and I live in New York.We still continue to talk through text message even though we know it's pretty much impossible to meet again. He is super nice and mature for his age. From the moment I went back into my hotel room and he back in his we haven't stopped talking. I need to know if I should continue talking to him or is it unhealthy for me to like someone that far out of reach. Any teens advice would really help out.

I don't use this site so often, but I just saw your question and I had to answer.
So, I live in the north of England and I went on holiday and the same thing happened to me, with a boy that lives as far away as he possibly could without being in a different country. Even though I knew that I wouldn't see this boy again, I still let myself completely fall for him... I was even thinking at the time that I wouldn't see him again and asking myself why I was letting this happen!
I know that England is a LOT smaller than the USA, but just bear with me!
We swapped numbers, and texted and messaged all the time, and all the time I was asking if I should really be doing this.I even stopped talking to him for a while, but I missed him far too much, and it made me realise how much I actually needed him!
Thankfully, I didn't lose him, and we started talking again, andmore than anything, I was happy to have his company back.
That holiday was over a year ago now... and we still talk every day.
Recently, we found out that we're going to be going to the same university at the end of this year! We'd always talked about this jokingly, but never actually thought that it would end up happening!
I'm not saying that the same thing will happen to you, but I am saying that you must not stop talking to this boy under any circumstances!
If he truly means a lot to you, I believe that you will find a way to see each other again.
And even if it's one year... or five years later, you never know what will happen!
Stopping talking to him will just make you more unhappy.
I hope I've helped!
