Question - (10 February 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 11 February 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

So, here's the story. Me and this guy have known each other since the 8th grade and we have dated twice, but it never really worked because he moved our freshman year in high school.

Since he has moved, the only way we talk is through Facebook, webcam, he stops in to town now an then, and on the phone. He is moving to Alaska soon because of his family being in the army. He is only going to be gone a year an then he is coming back, so he can be with me he said.

When we talk we don't say i love every time, but we do say it. On facebook a few months ago we decided to put engaged as our relationship status and it is still that way to this day. We have talked about our future before. Like for example husband, wife, kids, moving in together. Just, starting a life together. We have talked about this since we were younger.

I have dated other people and so has he, but we still talk about being together someday soon. I have been planning to move 531 miles away for college and he said that when he comes back he would be willing to come with me. I know he cares about me and i really care about him. We are willing to go to the end of the Earth for each other. But, are we crazy for planning a future at such a young age? What are your opinions of this?

TasteofIndia agony auntI don't think you're crazy, as long as you're not putting your entire life on hold. But you guys seem to be doing this well - still dating around, going towards your individual goals (like you going to college). Because you're still living your lives, I don't think there's anything wrong with talking about the future.

Most people who plan this stuff at a young age seem to give up on anything else in life. They attach to a dream and sit around doing nothing waiting for it to happen. They lose themselves. You guys don't seem to be doing that. So keep this level-headed attitude and you two probably have a very supportive, promising future ahead! Good luck, sweet!

annoyed360 agony auntNo I dont find anything wrong with it because you can even tell in the way you wrote about him that you have strong feelings for him...i really hope things work out for you :)
