Hey TSR
I'm in upper sixth, that should give you an idea of my age, and I met a girl through a good friend (shes in lower sixth). After almost a year of chatting to her online and stuffs, she revealed her undying love for me (as you do), ditched her one month local boyfriend (who she resorted to dating due to believing i wasnt interested at all) and we met up again.
We are now 'in a relationship', my first in fact, as I have never been the luckiest of person with these things.
Im ragingly happy about it, dont get me wrong, shes beautiful, loves the same things as me, I trust her and enjoy her company immensely.
She lives down south and I live up in Essex. Its around 150 miles, which yes, is rather a long way (3 and a half hours by train)
Its only been a month but I havent seen her again yet due to exams, but have been worrying myself to death about how its all going to work out. I have told my parents and they dont really want to play a huge part in it all, but have no real problem (fair enough).
The things that are bothering me ...
Have I launched myself into a sealed deal relationship a little bit too early ... Should I have left it a little longer? A few more meet-ups to make sure I am ready for a long distance relationship? Obviously I cannot really fix this now, as I am with her, but it bothers me....
How often should I see her? Should I make it a regular thing? I was looking at the 16-25 railcards and advanced train tickets and I can get a return ticket that is usually £60 for £28... so I can sustain visits, with EMA and savings.
And mainly, should I have a point in the future where I can see this all going? I mean like, somehow me being closer to her?
(I will be going to uni in september, hopefully in london, which means I will only be an hour away opposed to the current 3 hours)
I know this seems all a bit early doors, but it is bothering me already, which obviously is not a good thing, so would seeing her more regularly help this? Or does it just become harder and harder everytime you see them then leave them again..... (hope not)
I have tried to just lightly touch a few issues like this with her but shes, very much into me, apparently has been for well over a year ... so she gets pretty upset rather quickly.
So basically, looking for some words of wisdom from some experienced LDR'ers, on how you cope, what its like in general etc.
Thankyou, it helps to get this stuff out somewhere, even if it is anonymously on tsr :P oh, and sorry for the length, im feeling rather conversational for such an early hour .... :P
