Relationship advice please!!!!!?

Ok so I have this friend. His name is Dave. We talk all the time and last night he told me that he liked me, that I was beautiful, that he didn't know why he didn't tell me sooner, and that he can't wait to see me again. I really like him too. He's not real cute, but his personality is just... amazing. And my friend gave me the advice to look beyond his appearance.





There's only one problem... he's in the air force. I've never had a long distance relationship work out, should we give it a try? I know it'll be hard, but is it worth it? He can come home this weekend, and plans to, but I don't know how we would make a long distance relationship work out.





Any advice on this matter?Relationship advice please!!!!!?
Honestly...it's hard....and if his ';personality'; is the only thing you like then I would watch out. It sounds weird but you do need to be attracted to him too amongst other things...for instance, what is he doing after the military? What other things do you love about him? You'll have to know these questions to be able to support a long distance relationship.





Plus, you said, ';I've never had a long distance relationship work out';...maybe there is your first clue that it's a tough road.





Maybe you two could start off slow, write, talk and see where it goes but I would not take this weekend and make a decision on if you are going to be exclusive with the guy.





Good luck!Relationship advice please!!!!!?
well i understand you, because i am also dating my best guy friend and he is not the cutes guy out there but to me he is just great, and he is a truck driver so is also kinda of a long distance relationship type of thing, the only thing i can tell you is that if you really like him it would work out, don't stress it because f that just relax and talk to him as much as you can
This sounds like a spur of the moment thing for the both of you. You are both enraptured by each other because of the obstacles you will face. It's like Romeo and Juliet. The more obstacles you face, the stronger the appeal. You can try it out, but both of you must be prepared to work for the relationship. It will take a strong dedication from the both of you.
It's worth a try. If he has a great personality and you feel for him, then give it a try. With phone calls, email, texts, etc, you will be able to stay in touch and communicate - maybe visit occasionally. Long distance relationships can and do work out - my husband and I dated for 7 yrs before we married and were only in the same city for 4 months of that...
You will just have to live and see where it takes you. The relationship can flourish if you have a strong connection (and if you aren't too young). But as far as looks go I agree with your friend. I have had some really great boyfriends and it was all because I didn't care about the outside I respected and loved what was on the inside. Just see where it goes, if it works it works if it doesn't than it wasn't meant to be.
first of all, his personality is what matters the most, so if he isn't as gorgeous as the men in the magazines,don't freak. i guess you could give it a go, but if something goes wrong, make sure he stays your friend because he sounds like a really great guy.
Looks, in the long run, do not matter. Personality is way more important. You will never know if you don;t give it a try, and you would hate to look back one day and wonder what if? Go for it. If you both really like each other, it can work.
i would give it a shot. if it doesnt work, it doesnt work. at least you wont live with that WHAT IF feeling. right? thats how i look at it. just make sure you both agree no matter what happens you guys will still be friends in the end. and you guys are good. dont end the relationship on bad terms.





thats just my opinion. i would definately go for it. he seems like a sweet guy so do it!! :)
My husband and I started out that way until I figured out how to move. For the right person, it can be done. But it's hard, and until we had pretty definite plans to eventually make it no-distance, it seemed like it wasn't going to work.
Just think of it this way. If you dont give it a shot then you will never know how it can and might work out. It sounds as if you really like him, and looks definately are not everything. I would give it a try, whats too lose. Long distance relationships can work. Trust me!
Well i think that you should try it out. But if it gets to be to much then just tell him calmly that you don't really like the idea of a ';long distance relationship.'; That's all I'm sure he'll understand.
you never know unless you try. and you yourself said it was worth it. maybe this time it will work if you don't try, you will always wonder ';what if'; and regret it.
Take it one day at a time and don't try to solve everything at once. You know there is an attraction now take it one step at a time and see what happens. Relationships will last if you both make them.
if you really like him you should at least give it a shot. move slowly and be honest though. that way if the long distance thing is too hard you can call it and still maintain your friendship.
I did it and at the end married the guy. Im not saying u should marry him, but if u guys really like each other, i would advise to give it a try. It will be hard, but if I could make it work, anyone can :) GL
The more important issue here is if you like him or not. If you do, why don't you give it a try? Otherwise, you don't need to make a big deal out of it.
Long distance relationships can work. It all depends on how much you want it to work. I say give it a try. You never know he could be the right guy. Good luck!
you should give it a try if it doesnt seem to work out later down the road then yall can just be frans again
i would write to him and keep in touch to show that you care and when he gets home go out and do something



Go for it ;)
don't do it
when you see him this weekend, ask him this question
Don't knock it til you tried it.
give it a try nothing else could go wrong
Ohh dear, honestly the long distane thing really doesnt work out.


I wouldnt get stuck in that.


Get out ASAP.



I'd say go for it....this Guy I like Lives 300 Miles away but we are making plans to be together this October....





If you like him, then my vote is give it a try....You never know
if you really like him then i guess, go for it! You'll always miss 100% of the shot if you never try.
I know it's hard but don't make a commitment to him you can't make, and he shouldn't do the same. Truth is if he's in the air force you barely gonna see him. It's better to let him go now cause it will be so hard if you lose him. Your going to be home, meeting new people, and he might hold you back in experiencing things at home cause of the stress of the relationship. Just tell him you care about him but right now is not the best time to start something. Just move on and tell him when he gets home to give you a call when he has time for a relationship. It may be hard but it will be harder if you fall in the trap.
My bro actually met his long term gf on the internet. They have talked over the internet for over a year and the sad thing is they have never met (person to person). Ya i know weird! but when they finally met they had this special connection that seemed almost sickening (for me cause i haven't found that special girl yet). Any ways, she lived 12 hours away from my bro and they ended up like soul mates. Well you are going to have to answer this question... Do you think you can handle a long distance relationship? and if your iffy about it, you should tell him right away cause guys don't like girls who play with their minds. I hope all goes well.
I think the only way any long distance relationship will work is if you two will EVENTUALLY live in the same place. I don't know how old you are but I assume you're still in school, I can't really say if it will be ';worth it'; in the end, but if you really like this guy it is worth a shot. I would just try to have fun when you see him and keep things lite, don't rush into anything til you know how you really feel about the situation. It would suck for you to tie yourself down before you're ready, especially if you wont get to see him regularly. Hope this helps.
