We want to be together but we also both know that it's close to impossible since we already live so far away from each other. I'm confused an don't know if I should go for it or just stay good friends but I hav really strong feelings for him an he's admitted that he wants us to be together, it's just the situation we are in. He's going to be in the army for four years so if we did get together it wouldn't be a very good start to our "relationship" I'm so stuck on what to do. Reply to this Question Share |

Be his friend, be his support while he is gone, he will NEED that more than having a "gf". Deployment are hard on ANYONE but a brand new relationship? Even harder. Skype, e-mail, chat when you can while he is gone. If you two are a good match it will work out when he gets back.

I think you should put your feelings on hold until he returns. Four years is a very long time and it's hard to survive being apart even with a solid foundation of a relationship underneath. It would probably be very frustrating and upsetting to try to sustain a brand new relationship during that time.
