Ok, I have to do it. I mean you no disrespect but if no one ever tells you how are you ever going to learn?

The things is I've known this girl for about a year, she liked me for the whole time but it was mostly a physical relationship for me, This statement tells me that she was willing to trade her body in exchange for your affection. but it was more intimate than a sex-friend thing. There is no such thing as a more intimate relationship. Sex is more than a bodly function; it is the ULTIMATE intimasy. There is a natural order to things. You meet, become friends, begin a relationship, make a commitment THEN have sex. I'm not saying you have to be married, but when this order is not followed chaos reigns supreme. This is how you end up having babies before you're ready with someone you can't stand, get into abusive and unhealthy relationships.

How long are you going to be seperated? What are your goals for the future? What do you expect this relationship to turn into?

It is possible for someone that age to make a long term committment if they are mature enough. My husband and I met as children, started dating when I was 15 and he was 17. He went into the Navy when he was 18 and went off to boot camp across the country, moved back into the region aftward. We married just before I turned 18 and have been married for 23 years.
