He lives 20 miles away-will it work?

Question - (12 December 2007) 4 Answers - (Newest, 12 December 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I recently met up with a guy, and we just clicked. I hadn't felt like that since I had broke up with my ex and I couldn't find one fault in him.

One problem, he lives in a different city, although it is only 20miles away, it is much more of an effort than if he lived next door and despite us being committed to making it work, I'm worried he may get bored and/or lose enthusiasm with me.

Am I being stupid, can I make this work?

I am currently in a long-distance relationship and it takes a lot of patience and effort from the both of us to make it work. There is a lot of committment needed to be done. This is something you should really think about. You still are very young and there are going to be many sacrifices. You just met up with the guy so i dont think you should rush into a big committment such as this one. Maybe the both of you can become and stay close friends but a relationship maybe just a little too much. Im not trying to put you down because of your age and im not saying it wont work because i believe any long-distnce relationship can work out with a lot of effort, all im saying is that think about this and make sure this is what you are willing to throw yourself into. Good luck and make the right decision...whatever it may be.

If you were much older i would say it can if you really love him but at your age love is too much to ask.Unless you are really much more mature than your age,i know you'll very soon end up cheating on him.So don't start something you can't see to the end.It'll be extremely hard on you.I'm in one and i'm in my late 20s but find it hard so i can only imagine for you at such an age.Just be honest with yourself and him and find a compromise.

Good luck.
