Soxy Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 As a lady I can only say this, I don't know how old you are, but you need to think about a lot of things before you jump into a long distance relationship. They're a lot of work and a lot of commitment. It's super hard to start one over the distance. So I guess if I were you I would aks myself what I wanted out of this relationship. Or more basically, you said you just moved, I would ask myself if I really wanted a relationship or if I was just a little lost in my new surroundings and really missing my old comfortable things--I know I mistakenly fell "in love" when I went off to college. Might not happen to you--but I consider it a huge mistake that a little introspection could have really saved a lot of hurt to a guy I honestly cared for. Anyway, so answer these questions then full steam ahead: 1.) What do you want out of this? 2.) Is it this girl that you want--or do you just miss home? 3.) In a similar vein, is this the type of girl that you think a long distance thing can work with? 4.) Do you think she'd be game for a long distance relationship or is she more of a physical closeness kind of gal? and finally (and most importantly) 5.) If she says no can your friendship take it? Anyway, that's my advice for what it's worth--take it or leave it. Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurlyMan56 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 If you don't think your friendship will take a hit...I would definetly put it all on the line...Express your feelings, it helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I don't think you have to worry about your friendship. If you ask and she doesn't feel about you in that way, then thats that and you friendship will still survive. Now if you tell her your deeply in love with her and she doesn't feel that way, then I'd say different. I mean if you think this is a person you'd like to get to know and you want to get into a serious relationship that could last some time and go somewhere, then I say why not, go for it. But if your not at that stage, then I don't think a long distance relationship is what you want. Like chisoxygirl said, it depends on what you want and of course what she wants.

Chisoxfn Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Give her a day or two and then call her back. I wouldn't worry about it if you call her back. It won't look bad on your part or anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya guys are far away. Trust me, long-distance relationships are really hard. There has to be very strong feelings to make a long-distance relationship work for even a little while. I am sure that it scares her how far away you are, and she may not want to set herself up into a situation where she is unsure of what to do. Trust me, don't bother with a long-distance relationship...especially if you guys have not dated before the distance was put between you two. Be friends with her and care for her, show her your always there. Wait until you get back before dating is considered. Support her in whatever she chooses to do.

Cerbaho-WG Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I had the same situation with my best friend. Unfortuantely things didn't work out between us for the girlfriend-boyfriend thing, but her and I are very good and very close friends. If you do get turned down, it'll hurt for a while, for me it was about a week or so. Of course you'll start remembering certain times you've had with her and those can beat you up fairly well. Time cures all ills, and so does an actual girlfriend . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 i told her no matter what he she decided she would still be my best friend. She's probably embarressed she didn't see it coming. We ladies pride ourselves on "knowing" and "sensing" things. So, give it a few days to let her collect her thoughts--maybe send her an e-mail tomorrow afternoon to let her know you're ready to listen whenever she was ready to talk.

SuperSteve Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 It's not a mistake. If she is not interested, she will forget about it in time. Just give her time to think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
