Question My boyfriend and I have been together for two months and I met him online. I never believed people before when they said they could fall in love with people online, but I'm so head over heels for this guy. Sometimes though I am worried about us because he does live far away, about 2,000 miles, and we still haven't met each other in person. We probably won't for sometime because he is in a college votech school and I am trying to pay some past medical bills. I'm just wondering how to make our relationship last through this, I really care about him. I also feel like sometimes we're starting to drift apart already and I just don't know how to fix that other than appearing terribly clingy and calling him far too often. Please help me.
Answer Hello
First of all being clingy is very much a bad thing and the last thing you want to do with this guy. What might help is to organize a date when to meet him? I have no idea where you guys are from, but I fly often and know that flights can be fairly inexpensive depending on when you book them and where you book them from. If you use sites similar to travelocity and book well in advance you can probably get a ticket within the 200 range which is not bad at all. Perhaps planning to see each other soon would at least give you guys something to look forward to. Other than that keep talking to him regularly. Not in a way where it's clingy but in a way where you guys can really talk without it being overwhelming for either of you. That way it feels less forced to talk all the time. You guys could try getting a hobby together such as playing a game together, creating a website together, watching movies at the same time on each other's tvs or computers, etc. There are ways and it is very difficult but that's one of the things you have to realize when dealing with these situations. It will be difficult but you both have to try and handle this maturely, and not letting it make you act a way that may ultimately hurt the relationship. Really the best way to fix this is to learn that you guys wont always be able to talk nonstop, try to think of more unique things to do, possibly get in the planning process for visiting each other soon, etc. Good luck!
