Long distant love
| Thu, 08-21-2008 - 12:41pm |
Hi, Im with this guy who I am crazy about. I think Im falling in love with him. The only problem is that he stays about 3 hours away. I feel that it will work if we both put in the effort. This weekend he wants me to come down and go to this car show with him but I cant. He is feeling kinda down about it and I dont want him to think it is always going to be like this. What is something I can do

Welcome to the board brooks08,
I'm not sure you have to 'make it up to him' but you can be excited when you talk to him, happy to hear from him, ask him questions about the show, be interested.
Some posters on this iVillage board might have some ideas for you: Long-Distance Relationships
Just let him know that you wish you could go and that you will miss him, but that you have these other plans. Let him know that if you both make plans enough in advance, you'll be able to do many things together. In order for this relationship to work, you both have to be mature and able to accept that there will certainly be times when either one of you won't be able to be there. This is true in relationships where people live close by as well.
All good wishes,
