A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Dear Cupid,

I've been dating this guy for about a month and a half now. (Since the beginning of May) I'm 16 and he's 19. Were taking things slow, we aren't official yet.. I wouldn't say its a long distance relationship, but I live about an hour away from him by tube. He's from South East London and I'm from North West London. When things first started off we saw each other once a week, obviously because we didn't want to rush things. But because I'm in my last year of high school I have exams up until the 24th June, but they are spaced out.

However, I haven't seen him for nearly 2 and a half weeks. It's coming up to 3, there isn't really an explanation as to why we haven't but he's been working and I had a whole week free from exams and because I have four exams this week, there is no way I will have time to see him because I will be revising.

Next week, I have one exam in the middle of the week, but 5 days later I have my school prom so I need to go on a search for a dress, shoes, etc..

Basically, we probably won't see each other for another 2/3 weeks.. Making it a total of 5-6 weeks without seeing each other, and because the relationship between us has only started off, the feelings we have for each other are not as strong. Although, I keep missing him, every morning when I wake up he's on my mind, I think about what he may be up to and I don't know if he's feeling the same, but I doubt he would be.

So what I'm trying to ask is, does absence make the heart grow fonder or does absence make the heart find another. I'm missing him more and more, he's on my mind more, I wake up thinking about him and that never used to happen.

Because we're not officially going out yet, I can't really say much, but I'm hoping things change when we do become official because summer is coming up, I'd like to at least see him twice a week.

Thanks.

A reader, anonymous, writes (14 June 2009):

When i met my husband, i only knew him for a week before he went to basic training, where he was gone for four months. But i committed to him anyway. i told him i'd be there waiting. Something in my heart told me that there was somethign special about him and had i ignored it our of fear of being way away and things not working out, i wouldn't be married and pregnant with his child. I would've missed out on the love of my life.

I no more love my man when he is away with the army. I miss him. If i wasn't in love with him to begin with, for all the right reasons, then him being gone would not do that for me, and i might not be able to handle it. But i can. Because our love in true.

If you love him, i mean really love him, then there should be nothing stopping you from being with him.

So "does absnce make the heart grow fonder or does absence make the heart find another"?

Nothing makes the heart do anything.. the heart just does And everyone's is different.
