my boyfriend and i dated 8 months long distance from miami, florida to buffalo, ny. of course it's hard as hell, but it tells you he's definitely in this for you and not for the "perks" because there really arent any. Obviously you may know better than i do since you've been dating longer, but we're at nearly a year and a half now (he transfered schools for me) and going strong, summers suck but lets just say southwest airlines gets a lot of business from us. goodluck and if he's really something special, which im guessing he is, hang onto him and make it work. try to make this LDR a SDR as soon as possible. it will relieve soooo much stress and you can just smile at eachother every night
