Should I try for long distance, try for a very very short fling, or leave it alone?

0

I’m going off to college soon and I just found out my friend has a crush on me and was going to ask me out except they were dating someone else. Well now they’re breaking up with the other person I guess and I really really like them a lot (I had a crush on them since we met) and I want…well I don’t know, SOMETHING to happen before I leave for college and this person is kind of far away. Except I leave in little more than 2 weeks…so is it worth it? Should I leave it alone? Will I regret it if I do? I don’t know what to do if anything. HELP!

I think long distant could work if you really want it to. I was in one for a few months, and the only reason we broke up is because we were both addicted to drugs and that took over our lives. I've seen long distance work for a lot of people, but if you don't think you have strong feelings for them, then I wouldn't do it. Flings can be fun, but make sure they understand that's what it is so that you don't hurt them.

It's entirely up to you! You have to think about it properly though. Do you want a brief fling, only to possibly regret it later? Then again, you may enjoy the brief encounter and think of it as a brilliant way to part with the friend you always had a crush on. On the other hand, you could attempt to make a long distance relationship work and if you're meant for each other, it will work out. Don't rush into anything as you don't want to harbour any regretful feelings afterwards :)

Exactly what Katie said. Distant relationships can work. I have been in one for 4 years now and I have never met the person yet, but we are not only soul mates but close friends. It depends on how much you value each other and how important it is to be together. Some people get into it just because they want it or because being in a relationship makes them feel good but later when they taste the distance they realise that they can't really do it. Think of what you'd be seeing and experiencing in college, would you up aside all temptation for his sake? Do you think he would do the same for you? Think about it carefully and good luck.
