I met him about two years ago now at a gig, and he lives like, south London and I live about an hour or two from the centre. We now openly tell each other how much we like each other and I see him about once every 2 or 3 weeks and speak to him basically every day but have both said for months how it would never really work because of the distance. However, (he has a blog which he doesn't know I have seen) saying how much he wants to be with me and that he thinks it could work etc, so I think something could happen soon. But it is due to this that I am having second thoughts. How the hell are two 17yr olds supposed to make a relationship work living that far away? And it seems that I am the only one ever making any effort, as in, I always initiate conversation and it's always me going down to London to see him. And as petty as it sounds, he's not the type of guy that I would ideally go for.But I have wanted to be with him for about a year now, and I have liked him more than I've ever liked anyone. And I don't think I've ever had a guy properly interested in me this much before. I have a job, hence why I can afford to travel to see him, when he doesn't and he has said that when he does he'll come to see me. And all the universities I want to go to are in London, (although that wouldn't be for another year and a half).Do you think I should just go for it...? Reply to this Question |

I'm in exactly the same situation - my girlfriend is in London, I am in Portsmouth, and we have a fantastic relationship, even if it is a little time and sadness inbetween visits.
It teaches you to appreciate that not all relationships have to be like the ones on t.v or books, and you learn to value time together a lot.
I've just celebrated a year with my girlfriend, I really hope, that if you like eachother that much, that you can make it work. xx
