I have been in a relationship for the past three months.
Though I know it is a short time, I felt there was something
special there. Distance issues have always been present
since my girlfriend and I started dating however, as we
are both going away to college this year about 30 minutes
away from each other, but still in different worlds. Eventually,
we decided to just be friends because we knew when we went
away it would be hard. I was fine with this as I really cared
about her and would always be there as a friend at least if
no relationship could happen. She went away while I was
still home for a while, and we still talked every couple
of days or so. Everything was going great, but all of a sudden,
one day she told me she didn't want to talk to me any more.
This wasn't my fault, it was simply the fact that she
does not like long distance relationships and even though
we were just friends, we obviously both had feelings for
each other and it was just too hard for her to be my friend.
She told me that if we had met a year ago and were where we are
now, that she would definitely give a long distance relationship
a try. I guess mainly she thinks it's not worth trying
since we haven't been going out all that long, and if
any relationship were to happen, it wouldn't be for
years..just not worth the wait at this point, and she would
obviously like to see other guys at college, and having
me there makes it hard for her to do that, even just as a friend.
I know in time, those feelings we had will fade.. Before
she told me this, I had bought her a gift I was going to give
her, and I just can't find it in me to return it. I was
thinking of sending it to her for her birthday in December
along with a letter, after a few months have passed and maybe
things have changed. The letter would basically explain
that I know now that there isn't a chance of a relationship
with us, and I think that not realizing this earlier really
hurt us as being friends because I may have pushed towards
that and made things weird. But I just want her to know that
I really do care about her and that I really meant it when
I said I want to always be her friend. I think I will still
feel this way in December when her birthday comes around,
but I know things can change. However, if I still feel like
I should do this by then, I'm just wondering if it is
a good idea or not. I know I do care about her and that I don't
want to just give up and say goodbye to a great friend. There's
nothing I'd love more than just to be able to hear her
voice again..someone to call up every once in a while and
see how things are going, that's all I want. But I also
think she might not take it well, because I know she told
me to leave her alone, and I'd like to respect how she
feels about things. I'm just hoping that it won't
be that way since time has passed by and maybe things will
be a little different. Any advice would be much appreciated..I
know it's a bit to read.
