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 do have sex, and its always great. it does not affect our relationship negatively. 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.Its not like it will be a completely new thing, we've gone two months without seeing eachother. Do you think we will be able to last? I mean i've had all those stupid boyfriends and never felt like i was in love with them but he's way different ..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

 yeah and trust is a huge part of that. I know when I'm away from the guy I'm seeing now (new one for the past month), he is a total angel and devoted to ME. It's a nice feeling... I'm sure he will deploy again within a year =(

dindestress is verified as being by the original poster of the question thankyouu so much! and we see eachother as much as possible but he is very dedicated in hockey and travels alot. however we do communicate very well always!and hey i guess we should like the fact that we know exactly what our guys are doing when they are away,right?

Been through a 11 month deployment where my boyfriend was in Iraq... doesn't get much more LD than that! It sounds to me like you 2 are happy considering the space between you. How often do you get to see each other and what is the plan when you are done school? Separate colleges or tying to get into the same zip code? If you are serious about making it work long term some other suggestions I can make have to do with excellent communication... use the technology that your generation is blessed with, web cams, phones, texting, emailing, picture sharing, IMing, etc. I'm a hopeless romantic so I've got my fingers crossed for you!
