Subject: confused

Question
QUESTION: Ok, theres this girl I met at camp last summer and whenever there was time we would usually talk to eachother, and we had an awesome summer. The problem I have is that Im 16 and she 18, and I feel that that is causing me to not tell her how much I love her. Is it a problem for her to be older then me because the guy is usually the one who older. The other problem is that she lives about 6 hours away from me. We still talk a lot on msn. Im just confused as to what I should do. If I should just straight out and tell her or just leave it as a friendship.  Please help.

ANSWER: Hi,
Can you tell me why you like her? The BIGGER issue I see is the time of travel. Also she may be going to college soon if not already in college. The age issue is an  issue, yet when I look at the information I see the travel is bigger. Would it be so bad if you are just her friend? No boyfriend or girl friend idea at hand right now?

QUESTION: Well I like her because last summer we talked a lot. Now I can talk to her about almost anything. And I like her personality.  She just brightens my day. We both believe in a lot of the same stuff and can have great discussions and arguments about it. We both just got along so great.  She worked in the kitchen and whenever I was in line for the meals she would always give me this smile and it would just make my day better. Right now she not in college, shes still trying to decide what shes going to do. Shes going to work a bit before she goes back to school. So if that helps you help me anymore that would be great.

Answer
Hi,
If she enters college, this will add a LOT of stress onto your relationship. Help her as a friend find a goal for her self and become successful. After she is settled down you can think about dating her. You don't want to rush it. And there are a few issues I worry about here like the time of travel. Please post follow ups
