    I'm absolutely head-over-heels in love with a girl from England and since I live in Oz, I can't go see her, she says she loves me too..which makes it even harder. She's the most perfect girl I've ever met..She's a hippy, she's vegetarian, likes good music and everything.

    What do you think I should do? I'm only fifteen so I can't save enough money to go visit her, and even if I did save enough my parents would just say "Don't be so bloody stupid!"

    Any help would be much appreciated

    Peace out.

    i would say wait for awhile... you're 15, it may just be puppy love. trust me, i thought i was in love a few times at that age but now that i think back, i know that i wasn't. also, if you can't even get to where she is and be with her then it probably isn't the best idea. long distance relationships are really hard, especially when you're young.
    basically, i think you shouldn't. stay friends with her and maybe when you guys can afford to be together then go for it but right now you aren't even able to see her, so whats the point?

    Well, I know what puppy love is, I've experienced that with many-a girl, but this is REAL love, like..non-stop thinking about her all day, permanent smile whenever she's online..So hmm.

    if i was you, i wouldnt change a thing. Just keep talkin to her, and once you graduate college if you guys are still close you can get together. If it really is love you feel, then surely you can continue to be friends until you guys are old enough to travel internationally. I dont blame ya for fallin for her tho man, im also a sucker for foreign chicks lol. I just think they are so much more in touch with themselves for some reason.

    If it was me in your shoes....i would a.) Try not to become too obsessed with her because you arent gonna be able to spend time with her for a while and b.) do everything i could to keep her interested in me, and patient enough to wait a few years (you have found yourself a cool women that loves you....trust me when i say your lucky to have found one...)

    Just go with your heart and youll be good. Peace man

    -Listen to Bola Sete.....very romantic music...reminds you of the good times :)

    I am also in a long distance thing
    luckily the girl is only 5 hrs away (I'm in US, she's in Canada)

    our plan was to stay friends and stuff, and maybe someday who knows
    but neither of us could do it, so yeah

    do what feels right

    long distance relationships are subjective
    some people can do them, others can't
    and whether you think you could deal with it or not, remmeber that it takes 2 people, you'd have to trust her a helluva lot

    Well, there is always another time to meet her. You're only 15 but you've got courage.

    i went through this situation, it was a girl i met in africa while i was there. unfortunately, she didn't quite feel the same way, so this situation seems entirely different.

    since you basically made it seem like you couldn't just split and go to england(are you sure you can't?)
    i mean, most people would say getting an education and finishing that here is the most important thing. and i'd say that too from societal pressure, but my personal thoughts would be love is stronger than that. i'd try to find a way to go to england and start school there. your age will probably make your parents flip and not let you, and probbaly cause beef .....which sucks becuase you would need support to do something like that.


    another option, other than dropping everything you have here to be with this girl, is to keep in touch, and i would try to know how she feels for sure.

    and then, to wait..
    wait until you feel you can do something about it, if you don't already....


    that's all i can say, i understand this is a very very tough situation, but things will work out one way or another. just know that and do what you feel will make you the most happy

    cuz life should not only be lived,

    it should be celebrated

    u can be together online till u can be together for real
    work out a plan together, be realistic but work out a plan..if its a 3 or 5 year plan then great..at 15 ya arent ready to run off to another country unless u did the exchange school thing or something
    but u can just be together online have a very real relationship then be together when u can in a few years

    it seems like that is the most logical thing to do.

    from my experience though, when i've been in love, that sounds like a wrong idea to me. i know real love is supposed to last , but... honestly..

    for the most part, i feel like you need to be with the person you love, or time will change feelings.

    maybe not, everybodys different. and i've always hoped real love can conquer everything, ...even distance.

    but lately i feel a more realistic perspective on life is that love moves on, people move on, and feelings change.

    knowing that, i would hate to wait years and years to be with the person i loved, ...because frankly-

    -- nobody can tell the future. none of us.

    that's why, if i was in your position, .....if you two are truly in love, then go be with her, and finish your education whilst doing that.

    but only you two know how you feel for sure, and maybe waiting is a good idea.

    i always remember hating hearing advice to wait...it made me so mad. that's why i'm trying not to do it, because i'm sure that's the last thing you want to do. i think you've got to decide for yourself how far and how important this person is to you in your life.

    and honestly man, don't even listen to anybodys advice on her. this love that you feel, is your experience.
    nobody knows your experience of this love.
    they know their experience, not yours.
    they're telling you advice, as am i, when none of us know your experience of this love.

    and it's easy for us to say things like wait, forget about it, etc, ... because none of us are in that EXACT situation, with that person. so decide yourself.

    keep in touch, forgetabout it, go to england, doing nothing.....


    it's all upto you man, only you can decide and only you will make the right decision....nobody else, no matter how much experience anyone has this situation isn't theirs to decide for

    I think keep in contact and then hen you've saved enough money go and see her. You could try getting into one of thos exchange programs, too, where you go to school in th eUK for a year.
