hey you
I know where you are coming from and I say think long and hard about this decision. It is going to be YOU making huge sacrifices to "stay" with him. also, your relationship stays in the "honeymoon" stage for the majority of the time so you guys may or may not be allowed the chance to really get to know each other. you may get focused too much on the "romantic" side of the relationship and "what a great story this would be if it does work out". then if it ends up crashing and burning you focus on all of THAT stuff and not the meat and potatoes of the relationship that was missing all along. we tend to overlook a lot of things when we are in a long distant relationship, and tolerate a lot of things we probably wouldn't if that person was with us all along. sorry to sound so pessimistic but i went through a very similar situation in my very recent past. i've learned A LOT from the situation and have grown tremendously from it, but can honestly say the main reason i got hurt was because i got all caught up in the romantic side of the long-distant part of the relationship. i felt that since we made it through being apart, that we should have been able to make it through some other things but that just wasn't so. sometimes people are just TOOOOOO different and being away from each other so much only prolongs you from learning these things about each other. i am not saying that it can't work in your particular situation, and personally, i still believe in fate and destiny as well and if two people are meant to be together, it will happen no matter what the odds are. i still think that while you are young you should have fun and not put all of your eggs in one basket. Lastly, as wonderful as he seems to you now, you never really will know what is going on on the other side of the pond. Go out and have fun and i am sure if you are not looking someone wonderful will come your way. in the meantime i think it is fine to keep in contact with him but realize there is also a chance you are setting yourself up for major heartache
