No because those are incomplete sentences.

I'm sorry but if you all want to bicker why don't you take it somewhere else? This girl is looking for real advice and y'all are not helping.

You're right.

I do apologize.

ETA: I have deleted my posts.

Real advice? I'm helping her see reality and to get her head out of the sand. If you can't drop 200 on dinner (without wine) and say you had a cheap dinner, you will NOT find love nor happiness.

Gee thanx KellyB369... You took the words right from my mouth. I am in desperate need for advice, to anyone who would like to share .... Also, to those of you who like to make harsh comments, it's not called for in this thread. Please take it elsewhere it would be greatly apreciated. Thankyou!

What's a harsh comment? Do you even have a golf handicap??

Rudey, I know you find this funny and I hope you're kidding but can't you save it for another thread? We got your point - If you're not rich your life will suck.

fsu24DZ, Relax for now. You don't have a problem. You don't have to make a decision. Just flow with it. Talk to him when you can and go on with your life, when it comes time to make other types of decisions, then see how you feel.

Right now you seem panicked, but why? You don';t have to decide anything right now, and almost nothing you can do in the next few months will enable you to be with him anyway.

So breathe deeply.

Maybe you can see each other on alternate weekends.

You don't understand. You are just not getting how awful it is for some people. This is a DESPERATE matter. And when you're not old money, it's even more DESPERATE!!!!!

I was in a similar situation in my past. He was in the reserves and stationed in Greece for a few months. He came back and went to DC for the summer for an internship. When he came back we were both busy with grad school. While the relationship or the most part was good when we were together we were mostly in the honeymoon phase the whole time. I don't think we really got a chance to truly get to know each other and we became so caught up in the romance of the whole thing. When it crashed and burned earlier this winter I was devastated. I think that if we had stayed friends and seen where it led instead of jumping right into a relationship things could have worked out or maybe not but I wouldn't have gotten hurt.

Now I am dating another guy who is strongly thinking of moving to Florida. He doesn't know it but when he gets back this week (from Florida) I am planning to tell him let's just be friends now.

I am a strong believer in fate and if it's meant to be it is going to happen no matter what.

But YOU are the one making the sacrifice in the relationship if you decide to "be with him" because YOU are the one putting your life on hold while he does everything he wants to do WITHOUT you.

Sorry to sound bitter but that's the reality of long-distant relationships.
