About Melissa Burton (a.k.a Bee) Expertise I have been in plenty of long distance relationships before and I know for a fact that they do take lots of hard work and dedication. I can help with making a relationship strong enough to last even through distance, breaking up long distance, not knowing what to do when things get hard, dealing with heart break, starting to like someone else even though you are in a relationship long distance, etc. If you need advice I`m here to help and if you just need someone to talk to then I`ll be glad to listen.
Experience I have been in long distance relationships before and some have worked and some
have not. I know plenty of people who are in the same type of relationships as these.
Question DL: I'm fifteen years of age and I am in a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend (same age). I'm in NC; he's in TX. We've never met, although modern technology has enabled us to stay together. In the beginning he was a harmless Facebook addition, but as time passed, he became my most trusted friend. We literally are best friends; his friends accept me and so does mine. The catch: his parents don't! Our folks have been trying to cut us off since Day 1, but we don't give up. I can't just leave something so wonderful like that...the one time they were so close, we both were devastated. It felt like part of me died.
I guess I'm saying that we were planning to meet in person for the first time this summer. Family vacations spoiled those plans, and now we're both hurt. We've been through so much, helping each other along the way as we deal with our own lives...going on a long journey and seeing the prize, hopes so high only to have them snatched away. I need help...I don't know if I can take all this stress and bad news; it's killing me inside. I'm not ready to give up on him; I don't mind waiting until we are eighteen.
Answer Hello
Well I'm not exactly sure what you are asking me since you never really asked me a direct question or anything. All I can tell you is that if you think this guy is worth it then definitely wait for him. It will not be easy and until you both are 18 then you may just have to wait until then, especially if your parents aren't supportive. If you have to you can spend the next few years saving up and then fly down and meet him in a few years but until then there's really not much you can do about this situation. I'm not sure what else I can tell you. The only thing I can recommend is each of your parents talking to each other and talking to the both of you. Perhaps if they talked with each other, and as you guys got a little older, they might be more willing to let you guys meet. Either way if this guy is such a great friend to you then definitely keep talking to him. I've had friends that I've known for years and have never met up with yet, so it's certainly possible for you guys to keep in contact and still remain friends. Anyway good luck with this situation and keep trying, and try to not give up on this situation!
