Long Distance LoveHey Jimbo: I have been seeing a guy for only 3 months, but I know that there is nobody else I'd rather be with. I haven't felt like this towards anyone before. I want to be with him constantly. The problem is he is leaving for college. We both are against dating other people. We love each other very much. But will college cause a conflict, causing us to drift apart? Please reassure me that it won't. Scared in PA Dear Scared College by itself won't cause a problem, but you both have to make the effort to make the relationship work. Absence can make the heart grow fonder (or it can make the heart go yonder). Readers, share your real-life experiences of long-distance relationships. Meredith: Heck yeah, long-distance can
work. It is tough, very tough. ICQ or AOL Instant Messenger can help...email too...and you
find a new appreciation My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years now and he has just finished his first year away (3 hours away) at college. We emailed every day while he was gone and we would talk about the little things (school, fights with friends, parents being jerks, etc.) Talking about the little stuff makes you feel like the other person is really a part of your life still. And the weekends he comes home are just awesome. Carrie: I know what you are going through. I have been with my boyfriend for about 8 months. He lives in Quebec and I live in Montana. Trust me, if he really loves you, nothing will happen. Dear Jimbo, I'm 16 years old. I met a guy last summer and ended up falling in love with him. He lives in Florida and I live in Maryland. Things got a little serious, but no sex. Here comes my dilemma... I'm beginning to Dear Far Away, I say go for it, but let your Florida love know that you want to date other people. Jimbo Readers, what do you think? Put Far Away in the subject line.
