About Becky
Expertise
Life as a teen can be extremely difficult and everyone can understand where you are coming from. And although you may have the answer already in your mind, it's sometimes easier to hear it from someone else. I can answer anything from is he/she treating you right, is the right person for me, how to deal with break-ups and heartbreaks, and so forth. I can try my best to answer to your question as quick as possible. I can only try so hard to understand what you're saying so please, be clear about what you're trying to get across. As for length of letters, keep them BRIEF and to the point. Don't beat around the bush about what you're trying to ask, if you give me something short I can answer them with a better understanding of the issue.

Experience
I too am a teen and find that these are the hardest years to have a relationship and really learn from them. Sometimes, it can be extremely difficult to see through the feelings that we posses and instead, we make the wrong decisions.

Teen Dating Issues - Worth a shot?


Expert: Becky - 10/28/2009

Question
Between me and this guy that i like there is only a 3 year age difference. The problem isn't the age, it is more the distance. He recently moved about an hour and a half away from me.
We aren't dating, and I'm not even sure if he likes me, but I am really into him and could really see something happening.
I'm just worried that if we are so far apart I don't' have a chance with him. I know it probably doesn't seem like a big deal, but it would mean a lot to me. I have been single for a year now, because I wasn't really ready for another relationship, but now I feel like it would be really worth while.
He is amazingly sweet to me and though we haven't known each other a long time I still think there is something there.
I know that I'm ready and willing to do this, but I just dont' know about him.

Answer
Well if you don't know him that well, then what makes you think you can get into a relationship with him?

Having a relationship with someone is quite difficult. Although very playful and enjoyable most of the time, there are still some serious factors that you just take into consideration. What I'm trying to say is that relationships aren't all, fun and games. Being single isn't a bad thing, in fact, it's probably the best at your age because you get to know yourself so much better and things appear a lot clearer too!

He's far away now, you two probably won't have the greatest luck on seeing each other frequently and getting to know one another, so forming a relationship is a little further away than you would like it to be.

Wait it out, if he makes an effort to see you, then I'd say take the chance on getting to know him and see where things lead. If there's no effort coming on his behalf, there's no point, it'll only be you willing to be in a relationship at the end of the day.

Good luck
