Hi, I'm a normal guy living the usual life. I'm 15 and I've got a pretty cool story that I can really use some help with. So I have a youtube account and about an year ago I randomly came across another youtube user and her channel. We actually just started having nice small chats on youtube sending each other messages for a good few weeks. Until finally one day I asked her if I could add her on facebook. She agreed with no problem and we added each other. For the next couple months we talked but not really that much. I thought she was really pretty too. And then back in september I hit her up and we talked like the whole day. And then I realized, she was way more than I knew. She had everything I could possibly ever want in a girl. We are the same age and in the same grade. I secretly grew feelings for her as we started talking a lot more. I feared that she wouldn't really be into a guy like me. Eventually we had a good sense of each other and were bestfriends online. Until one day I had the guts to send her a text that I have strong feelings for her and how beautiful she is. Surprisingly, she replied agreeing with me and telling I'm super cute and that we'd make a perfect couple. From there on, we'd freely talk about each other and how bad we want to be with each other. Sadly I live in New Jersey and she lives in Massahusetts. We are love birds at this point. She is all I really ever want. And she feels the same way about me. Now it has come to a point

where I want to try something else. I love her so much but I don't know how else to show my love for her. I send her wonderful texts all the time and we dream about each other. She said meeting me went on her bucketlist. So does anyone know what we can do so me and her don't grow apart over time? I'd hate to lose her. Something to help this relationship stay in shape for a good while?

[continuation of my previous message]

Now, if you work, you need to do the following:

- minimize expenses

- pinch every penny you can to save for your trip

- make a plan for your trip [both need to be involved]

- set a budget

Now, if you don't work, meeting her will be tougher, but not impossible.

- Save money

- Save any allowances you have

- Ask for any home gigs for your parents or relatives

- Look for money under the coach

- Try to think on a small business [you can be creative as you want]

- Sell your unused stuff on ebay.

- Look for a part time job that is near your house, so you don't spend on transportation.

- Don't lend money by any reason

- If nothing else works, ask your parents for money.

I personally would prefer to earn the money by myself, not only because it feels right with my parents, but because you get to learn lots of things in the process of earning money. The day you finally meat each other, you are not only enjoy her company, but with the satisfaction that every penny of that trip, every meal you invite her to eat, would have come out of your pocket.

LDR relationships ARE TOUGH, but if you try to see each other at least every once in a while, can be enough to strengthen your bonds.

Good luck!

I have a job, 3 away from the city where my gf lives. We've been together for 5 years, and away 1 year. Last year, I visited her around 7 times. Technically, every time I see her if fall in love with her again. We talk almost every day through Google talk [it's like skype, but more lightweight, and not so complicated as skype]. We see each other very few times because it is expensive for anyone of us to visit each other, and we have heavy debt to pay.

I would strongly suggest you to save money for a trip to meet her. Don't see it as an expense, but as an investment on your relationship. A million text messages won't compare to a day or two with the girl you love.

adamantine agony auntDo you talk to her on skype? I'd say skype is the best thing for long distance relationships. It helps me a lot to see my boyfriends face when he is away.

You two can also play games together online.

As for meeting each other, you'd probably have to wait til you're either 16 or 18, or you may need help from your parents to make it happen.
