writes:Cutest story ever. A guy I knew freshman year of high school set me up with his best friend, a sophomore. We "dated" for a month. By "dated," I mean we talked on the phone and went to homecoming together. We never held hands, we never kissed, etc. We were each other's first boyfriend/girlfriend and it was AWKWARD. Hah. We broke up due to the awkwardness; we didn't keep in touch as we were never friends to begin with.Fast forward 7 years. I am a senior in college. He graduated last year. Over Thanksgiving we saw each other again and it was remarkable. Both of us have never clicked with someone else so quickly. I told my best friend that I met the guy of my dreams but I can't be with him. Why can't I be with him? Or can I be with him? We're trying it out, but when I'm in school I'm over 1000 miles apart. We both know long distance sucks. We've both tried it before with other people. The other dilemma is that I'm set on my job for when I graduate. I've accepted the position; it's unchangeable. However, since he was a little boy, he's been set on a particular career option that would keep us apart for at least another 3 years. My biggest fear is that the distance will kill us to the point that neither of us would give it a chance again down the road. But if we don't try it, I'll always wonder - what could've been? The timing couldn't be more horrible.

 Long distance relationships do work. I'm in a long distance relationship and have been for over a year and believe me its not easy but if you love each other enough you will find a way to make it work. We are in the same situation as you two. Jobs.. My job that i'm studying for takes me across the world for 4 months at a time and his is in the middle of the country.
Ask him to try it. Believe me the feeling you get when you see each other is so special you will never experience it with someone who you see every day. If you meet up every couple of weeks and plan what you are going to do it keeps you busy from missing him so much. Talk on the phone or use msn and your webcams :) Also being apart from each other makes you closer because you talk more!
Good luck :) Wish you all the best!!
