Is a long-distance relationship worth it?

Check these out, too...

HELP! My BF and I have been dating for almost two months, (we are in junior high) and honestly… I love him. He has told me he loves me as well. I know the chances of our relationship lasting are slim, but I really do think he could be the one, and I know he feels the same way. Recently his parents have been thinking of moving across the country! I don't know how I would be able to deal with his moving. I know long distance relationships don't usually work out, but should we try?

Hey girl! Being in love is a great feeling and your boyfriend sounds like he is a really nice guy. With that said, long distance relationships are tough – especially when you’re in different time zones. It is possible to work it out if you two are make a point to stay in communication (Skype is a lifesaver for cross-country couples), and know what to expect from each other. Are you willing to put in that time and effort?

The fact that you doubt that you can deal with his moving, not just the distance, raises a red flag. I think you know in your heart that it wouldn’t work since you are aware that the chances of it lasting are slim. If your BF moves just let him go and be free. If he is really “the one” the two of you will meet again some day.

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 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

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.
