GirlsLife.com - Is a long-distance relationship worth it?

Hey Makeup Artist #1, get him to make his Facebook again. You said he deleted it because he never logged on, but now he has a reason to sign on. You guys can always text, email and web chat. It's kinda old fashioned but sending letters is also fun. Hope this helps! Xoxo

matt is my bf/true love
we are staring hs this year
he has a tablet you can et apps on and i have an ipod touch
ok so my dad works in the oilfeilds so we move around quiet frequently (just going to wherever the work is) and we might be moving back to Ca, (now we're in La)which is great because thats where all my friends are... but since ive lived here ive made a few besties who of which i will mis but i no for a fact we can stay in touch. But i have also begun a relationship and i am in love with my boyfriend... ive never felt this way with a guy. i would be fine with skyping or txting and calling but neither of us have a phone, he deleted his fb b/c he never used it and there is no way to even get in touch throughout summer. im so scared that if we do eventually move (estimated in a year or 2) that i wont be able to have a long distance relationship. im scared
is there any other ways you can think of to keep in touch
thankyou <3 Lynae P.

Hey Sarah_15, periods can become irregular. See how much longer it goes on. This could just be a one time thing. If it lasts much longer the next time you're on your period I would contact the doctor. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I had my first period on August 2nd and it stopped on the 4th that time it was pretty light but it just came back and its really heavy. Arent periods supposed to happen only once a month? Thanks

Hey girlie! You might have just had spotting the first time (about halfway between your periods, when your hormones shift, sometimes that happens). If it keeps happening twice a month, head to your doc and see what's up. xoxo

(this happened yesterday but i didnt want to tell anyone) anyways.....
Me and my BF were at the park on a romantic walk and he said he really likes me and he wants to be closer and kiss and stuff like that. I didnt know what to do so i was like ok sure then i was like oh did u hear about..... And i changed the subject. We are going on another date 2 days from now and im scared hes going to kiss me and im going to like mess up at kissing and make him not like me anymore. How do i tell him im not ready to kiss yet? Thanks

Hey chica! Let him know that you like him, but you just aren't ready to kiss yet. Tell him that you are nervous and would like to wait a little while. When you do want to kiss him (or another boy later on), don't worry about messing up. Kissing is a pretty natural thing, so even though it might be a little awkward at first, quick kisses are easy and fun. Until you're ready, just be honest with your BF. xoxo

Lately, my BF has seemed to like me a lot more. He has been hanging out with me a lot more, talking to me, complementing me, etc. I guess I kind of like it, but why does he seem to like me a lot more now?

Hey! maybe as he gets to know you he likes you more and more congrats girl!

Hey girl,

If you don't have his cell number, why not add him on Facebook (if you're old enough) or email him? You could also try finding his new house phone number in the yellow pages.

I have found the perfect guy for me (: (but he lives 10 hours away in my hometown)..and well, it was an instant connection and we def. have chemistry!! Anyways, we are pretty much together but not quite yet official. I am 17, he is 15, but we are 1 and half years apart. You think that will be a big deal? The only thing is I graduate in a year and he has 3 more. /: That small of age difference doesn't matter, right?
Thanks for your imput. He means the world to me.♥

Hey Girl!

I'm glad you found a great guy! Do you best to make it work, why not? Long distance relationships can be tough, but you never know, it may work out! Try and see, if you don't you'll never know.

It must suck, girl, but if you love him and he loves you. Than you need to trust your heart and put you guy's relationship in fate's hands. If it works out, then good for you, you beat the odds! If you think you can do it, then do it!

I have been going out with this guy for 5 months and i love absolutely everything about him but one thing. When ever i do something good, like play really well in a softball game, instead of supporting me and being proud of me he gets really jealous and it puts him in a bad mood. its almost like he wants me to do poorly so he'll feel better about himself. i've tried talking to him about it and he said he'd stop but he didnt. what do i do?

Hey girl, honestly I think if you've already talked to him about it, have him take a break from seeing your sports games. That way some of the pressure is gone for at least a little bit. After a few games, talk to him again and see if he's comfortable with watching again.

So I met this guy on my field trip a month ago. Last week, I got the courage to message his friend on Facebook asking if the guy, Jake, liked me. It turns out he did, so I gave his friend my number to give to Jake on Saturday but I haven't gotten a FB message or text for 4 days. I'm scared he won't text me because if we did date, it would be long distance and wouldn't last. I don't know what to do...Do I get over him? It's just..the way he looked at me..it was so cute. We both liked each other. <3

Hey girl!

This is a tough situation! Of course, it's super hard to instantly make your feelings for someone disappear. If you don't hear from him soon, I bet he's just nervous to message you. Gather up some courage and message him yourself! No sense in waiting around to hear from him. If you message him, he'll see that you're interested and the ball will be in his court. By messaging him, you've done your part and opened it up for him to do his part. Good luck!

Hey! I've been in a long distance relationship with a boy I've known for 5 years. We've been official for a while now, and if it's really a good relationship, you'll find ways to make it work. Skype is definitely a lifesaver, or if you don't have skype you can try Facetime by Apple. Sometimes the distance only makes you closer

by littlemissrose on 5/29/2012 7:31:18 PM

Skype is a lifesaver for couples, I have friends who skype with their long distance bfs and they say they enjoy it and keeps them in touch. I dont know if I could do that with someone, I like when someone is physically near, but if I had to I probably would.

So I've been liking this guy since maybe the beginning of the schoolyear and the year is almost over, its our last 3 weeks now! Should I fess up or let it go? The thing holding me back is his reaction and if I really do like him or not. We flirt with eachother almost everyday, our lockers are 3 away from eachother and thats a very small distance. He flirts with other girls too, but its cause he's single. If I confess my crush on him, it might make everything awkward, so IDK, should I or not? Thanks in advance!

Hey girlie,

I wouldn't confess your crush right now, but I wouldn't hide it either. When you fess up with only a few days left, it traps the person, making them feel like the need to make a decision that very second or time will run out. I would snag his number and try to start talking to him and hanging out with him over summer, then you can let him in on your feelings in a less stressing situation. Jordan S.

Ok so I have a really big *B I G* crush on this guy named Dan. He calls me by this cute nickname *Mel Mel* and I call him Dan Dan. Only my bestfriend calls me Mel Mel and he doesnt have nicknames for anyone else. We have a ton in common and hes super sweet. I have told him I like him and he said he knew already, but thats as far as its got. He always puts "(:" after everyone of his texts/comments/etc... But heres the catch.. He has a ton of friends that are girls and idk if hes flirting with them too. I really like him, and i want to ask him out so bad. How do I deal? *Sorry its so long*

Hey chica,

It doesn't really matter how many girl friends he has. If he liked any of them, he'd already be dating one, wouldn't he? So when you think about it, they're really no obstacle to you. Just step up the flirting with him, start to get more cuddly, and try to be around him/hang out with him more often. How he reacts to that should be enough to gauge what he thinks of you and if he could possibly end up liking you. Jordan S.

So, me and my boyfriend are dating for the 2nd time, and we really like eachother. We may even love eachother. But the problem is, he lives in Maryland & I live in Virginia! I go to MD every other weekend, but I don't see him often. We talk all the time, sometimes for days straight. But last time we dated, he cheated. We've both changed alot, and I don't think he'll do it again, but should I stay in the relationship? :/ , please respond asap

Hey babe,

Trust is a major part of any relationship. There's no guarantee he will or won't cheat again, but do you think you'll be able to trust him again eventually? If the answer to that is no, it might not be worth spending the time and effort on a long distance relationship. If you can't trust that he won't make a move when you're not there, it might be more worry and stress than it's worth <3 But if you love him and you think you really want to make it work, stick with it. Like you said, you're older now and you've both grown up a bit - so if you think that change was enough and he respects you enough not to do it again, give it a try <3

My bf dumped me about 3 months ago. (we're both in middle school btw) We were really good friends before we started going out, so that's why it worked out. After a week on dating him, he dumped me through a note! I'm not over him, but I'm positive that he's over me. I love him, and he doesn't feel the same way! Well, things have been soooooooo awkward between us now. I want to be friends again, but we don't talk anymore, and every time I text him, he doesn't respond! What are some things I can say or do so we're friends again? Please respond asap cuz school's almost out!

Hey girlie,

I think the best way to handle this is NOT come on too strong. Don't text too often if he doesn't want to text and don't beg him to stay friends. Instead, walk with your head held high in school and treat him like normal - talk to him if you have something to say. Don't feel awkward, avoid him, or get too nervous - treat him like any other friend. If you're relaxed and talk to him casually, he'll take the cue and probably calm down too. But you can't force him to be friends post-breakup - sometimes, people just don't want to stay friends, or they're not good at separating "friend" from "girlfriend." If he doesn't seem interested, unfortunately the best thing to do is close this chapter in your life and walk away <3
