Need some advice on long distance relationships

    If it doesn't have to do with AP or other nitpicky things, he's not really paying attention.

    KY, Have you even met face to face yet? Or just exchanged photos and phone calls?

    As someone who had a long-distance relationship that did work out, I will still add to the chorus here saying you need to slow it down, KY. A week is far too short an amount of time to be sure about anything.

    The woman who would become my wife and I had our first date on a Sunday. By that Friday, we had agreed to stop seeing other people (I broke things off with another girl I had been dating casually). By Saturday night, she wasn't speaking to me (I really annoyed the hell out of her that day), so that shows how quickly things can change.

    She was foolish enough to forgive me and we were going strong when she had to move away for her career about a year and a half. It took us nearly two years to end up back in the same state. Within the next year we were married and we now have a 3-year-old daughter together.

    But you have to understand, we had a strong foundation built before we had to do the long-distance thing. Whatever it is you are feeling, or think you are feeling, you two don't have that yet.

    Tread carefully, my young friend.

    Yep. I'll echo OOP here.

    Even if you figure out a way to close the distance, you've still got a relationship to figure out -- and those are hard enough to begin with.

    Take your time, take things slow, keep talking, let the relationship work itself out ... the distance will take care of itself.

    And for god's sake, enjoy yourself. You're young, young, young. Nothing's set in stone yet.

    Yeah. She HAS to stay in Michigan because the center in Detroit is the best place for her to be for her therapy. I don't want to take her away from that, seeing as she's made so much progress already. She was paralyzed from the shoulders down, but now has some feeling/sensations everywhere. And she's been walking at the center, too.

    Hank, we haven't met yet. I'm hoping that'll change soon.

    OOP, thanks.
