What have you got to lose? Better to have tried than to be kicking yourself for not asking.

I think you know the answer here.. Just be relaxed when you're doing it and don't think much about it beforehand or you'll make yourself unnecessarily nervous. (I realise that's like telling somebody not to look down, but you know what I mean)

So you just want a pointless shag???
What if he ends up wanting more??? or if he has a girlfriend back at uni???

ask him if he wants to hang out before he goes back like going for a drink or something and see what happens there is always the phone and emails and mail and text and loads of means of communicating with each other,
or just go for a drink intentionally to ask him, be honest and tell him how you feel

theres no harm in a fling!
its better then the pain of long distance stuff

That's true.

I say go for it, but make sure you realise that you might change your mind about wanting a relationship. Also make sure he understands exactly where he stands.

yer if the feelings got stronger then surely they would dicuss weather they want relationships like adults, and work it out the chances are the guy may feel sometheing as well to carry on with the fling

unless he is totally heartless and nasty!!

i know that but then again you would have thought about what if it goes wrong its going to hurt bad and still go through with it

like they say its better to have loved then never loved at all or somthing like that!!

i would think giving it a try is the best option!! if thats what you really want to do!!

i had to think long and hard before i considered progressing into a long distance relationship and we agreed if it didn't work then we will not hate each other and saw each other a few times after as well!!
yer it was hard and kind of upsetting but i think it is stupid if you say yer lets go for it and don't discuss it, its not like a normal relationship theres the trust and the distance and the part where you miss them,

just seems silly to not talk about it first i think its stupid not to talk about a non long distance relationship first but im just boring lol!! have to know you make the right choice!!!
