So I met this pretty awesome guy on here. We clicked instantly. He's funny, cute, has a job, and a GREAT SENSE of humor. We talked for a bit before meeting...and when we met, the chemistry was just as great. The crappy part is that he just got a promotion at his job and is now moving to Florida real quick like....

We both decided that he had to go, and that long distance relationships really never work out....so we needed to stop what we had started. Tried not talking for a bit...or just forgetting about eachother, and needless to say it hasn't really worked. There's just this amazing connection and I really don't know what to do about it.

I know that I have to let go, and I know its not the end of the world. It is just a really really big BUMMER! He's an amazing guy and he thinks the same of me.

I was just wondering if any of you guys have ever been in this kind of situation or if you had any advice.....thanks.

Forget about him, or take a chance. It dpends on you and your funds.

Let him go. Life has a way of working these things out.

Move to Florida.
If you don't like it or things don't work out...move back

I wouldn't go to Florida unless he actually asks you to go! If he does asks you to, I still wouldnt do it. It does not sound like you guys spent much time together. So, in a short amount of time anyone could come off as a wonderful catch. He might be a great catch but he is not meant for you .

I would throw this 1 back.

You're only 18. If you were older (like me) I'd say keep in touch and see what happens, but most likely, with the distance, the communication will gradually fade as you each go on with your lives. In my opinion at 18 you are correct in thinking a long-distance relationship is unrealistic. They do work sometimes but usually when people are older, are more settled, have the ability and funds to travel, etc.

At least you had that time together and made a connection, a good experience it sounds like, and maybe if you stay friends, you never know, but I wouldn't count on it. Stay in touch but don't expect anything, just try and be happy for the time you had.

ahhh.. you're 18? At that age, every guy you go out will be the love of your life!

You'll both meet someone else after he moves and life goes on.

I imagine the guy is probably around...ummmm...23 or 24 if not older....
You're 18, suck it up and stop being melodramatic.

Everyone says that LD relationships don't work out...because, well, they don't. Or at least very few of them do for the long term. I was in a situation similar to this here about nine months ago, only it was me that was leaving. We talked about it and decided that moving together wasn't an option due to the relative youth of the relationship. We hung out for the time we had and enjoyed it while it was there. When the time came, though, we stuck to our guns and moved on...and I'm certain that it was the best choice for both of us.

What's right for you is only for you to decide...but you are quite young and there will be others to come along.

OP, I think I can see your nipple in pic #3.

Anyway, LTR's rarely ever work. That doesn't mean you can't try, but it will not end the way you want, that is almost guaranteed. It sucks that he's moving, but there's not much you can do about it, so just move on.

Allow me to dissuade you from going to Florida. First, turn your AC off and fill your bath tub with hot water. Then turn your oven on and stick your face in it until your skin is about to peel off and your hair spontaneously combusts. Run and jump in your bath tub to cool off, and play with a hair dryer while you are in there. Florida is just about the lightning capitol of the world. Now you have an idea about the climate. Shall we move on to the crime rate, cost of living, etc.?
