Alright so I doubt this will help me at all...but I am conflicted in a long distance relationship. My boyfriend is at school in Rhode Island while I'm in Florida (it's been an ldr from the beginning and he's in college and I'm a senior in High School). We met in an organization that we are both involved in. Most of the men in my life have burned me bad, as is the case with most women/men.

- - > My issue is, when we talk and are together, alone, we honestly can talk about anything and everything; it's wierd to be able to trust someone like this. When we are in public, however, I get so scared about any form of pda. I almost feel too scared and embarrassed in a sense, and I know it kills him. In order to love him I can't be afraid to be with him. What is wrong with me? Is it worth it, he's my first "true" boyfriend and its only been 3 months?

I'm so scared and sad...

Not everyone is a PDA kind of person. You don't have to walk around glued at the hip. You might ease into the PDA by holding hands when there aren't so many people around. Talk to him about this, and he may understand.

blamethecookie84...

Pianoguy thinks the "key sentence" in your entire post is:

"He's my first 'true' boyfriend and it has only been 3 months!"

With anything that you're not 100% certain about...you're gonna have doubts. What's even more frustrating is the fact that YOU are in Florida...and HE's in Rhode Island. LDR's are difficult to sustain...irregardless of whether they're you're first or your 10th!

ENJOY your last year of high school because when it's over...you'll WISH you could have it back! If the relationship between you and your b/f is solid...it'll go past graduation. If it isn't...you'll be prepared for "a college macho replacement" when you become a Freshman!

NOW RELAX AND ENJOY WHAT'S AHEAD....PLEASE???
