My girlfriend and I, were really great friends and we liked each other a lot, but because I was leaving for bootcamp in the fall we decided not to date. Once I came home for Christmas we hung out and talked and decided to try long distance. Been going almost 9 months strong on almost purely long distance. I get 3 day weekends to come home. Its not the easiest, there are sometimes the selfish side of me wants to call it quits. If y'all do have a true love for each other and commit fully to doing as much as you can to make the relationship work. Then it has the possibility of going great, there also is the possibility that it crashes and burns but you have to live as that isn't even a possibility. I would say above all its up to y'all. You can try it and it can be great or if not, then you know that long distance isn't for you. By the way we started dating at 18 both of us just turned 19 within the past 2 months.
    Great advice and let me go even further... I was told by family and friends to "let go" of my relationship with my then-gf and move on. LDR's were just "too hard." We were 120 miles apart which is NOTHING. I ignored the advice and four years later I've been married to her for three years and could not be more happy. We have a beautiful six-month-old son and I love coming home to my wife. Some things are simply worth the risk, worth the sacrifice.

    You just have to decide if she's worth it...

      I think you took my post the wrong way. I wasn't saying he shouldn't do a LDR if that's what he wants, I was saying that finding another girl is a good way to get over the old one. To me his post came across as asking how he should start getting over her, not if he should attempt to stay with her. Seems like we took the original post two completely different ways.
