Right...
Well, I was just wondering what you guys thought about Long Distance relationships.

For the first time since me and Emma finished in January this year I've developed feelings for someone... and it all happened so fast and as if by accident.
I honestly didn't see it coming, and it all happened in a couple of weeks. It was incredible.

So anyway... we spoke every day.
Phone calls every night, text messaging all through the day.
MSN most nights...
Some nights we agreed to just spending 10 minutes on the phone to say goodnight because we had to be up early, but it quickly turned into 4 hours.
Our feelings weren't exactly secret, and we both knew what it all involved, you know?

Anyway.. I went to see her and I spent 6 days at her house last week.
It was amazing, and yeah... for the most part we were holding hands everywhere... cuddling all of the time.
We kissed... nothing more than kissing though.
And yeah.. we both want to be together, and we've both told each other that.

But this is where the problem comes in.
We're both afraid, because she lives in Leeds, or just outside-of and I live in Gloucester.
That's 4 hours distance...
I've said that I'd gladly pay the train fare every week to spend at least a day or 2 with her on days I'm not working, which are random.
So far there shouldn't be a problem.. because we'd both be fine with that and it'd be worth it.

The real problem is that she's going to finish her 2nd year of 6th form next month [she's 17] and she has to work sometimes too meaning she'll be busy nearly all of the time.
Luckily her mum likes me, and is exremely laid back with me staying which could work to our advantage,
But we're both really afraid about this and it really does complicate everything.
For the first time in a long time I've felt really at home with someone, and it's just a shame that person is far up North.
What makes it worse is that she feels exactly the same way I do but we have so much to work out before we could actually be together.
She said she needs time to think, I think I do too but yeah.
I'm willing to sacrifice the time just to spend some time with her every week,
It's just going to be a hard thing to sort out.
