'Medium' Distance Relationship

Through the wonders of the internet, I seem to have gotten myself into a medium distance relationship, with a girl who is about an hour and forty five mins away by train from where I live (I cant drive yet). We have seen each other a fair few times (and get on well in real life, its not just an internet thing), but the distance is getting to be a problem.

Before I elaborate on that, i want to say that for whatever reason this relationship seems special - im not sure why, but it kinda seems to go deeper than normal, and she says that she feels the same way.

However, its stressing both of us that we basically can't to the whole traditional going out thing and stuff, - but when we tried seeing other people before, it ended kinda badly - neither of us really wanted to.

Any advice would be appreciated, i really don't know what to do now, thanks

Aww sounds really sweet. If you really want to continue this relationship, then I guess you'll just have to work harder at it. But if you can't handle the difficulty of the distance between you, it's probably better if you just stop talking to her altogether and move on.

we do, on msn, the phone etc, its just fairly hard when we can only see each other every few weeks (like once a month :frown:) Been going on since before christmas though.

EDIT: I can take an emotional battering if necessary, but at the risk of sounding cliched, i dont want to screw up her life over it - were both teenagers, and id hate to leave her with regrets. That said, we are both prepared to work for it, whatever the hell it is lol.

mine is broke at the moment lol. We've decided since i posted the op to really seriously give it a shot - since forgetting each other completely didnt work (and caused quite a bit of heartache along the way, not just for us either), what other choice did we have ;p?
