(We both live relativly near to each other in England)I will probably come back to England for Uni; and possibly once again in between then and now. But do really long distance relationships like this work, or should I accecpt that this can't work and move on...All help welcome!

 I've been through this myself at the same age, so I understand totally. Long distance relationships can work sometimes. The best thing to do is have an agreement with her that you'll stay in touch and stay friends. You can email and Skype each other once you're settled in New Zealand. However, you need to agree that you'll both see other people. You're both too young to make a major commitment and you both have so much of life ahead of you. If it's meant to be then it'll work out in the end. If you do return for uni then you'll be able to see each other sometimes. I have an ex-boyfriend from when I was 17 who is still one of my best friends although we have both lived all over the world and married other people. It's a very special friendship. I'm sure you'll make lots of new friends in NZ and have a wonderful time. Just stay in contact with her and see what happens. Good luck!
