Well, I'm glad for you buddy. Heads up and continue and never give up. In that kind of relationships, you need patience but not only you, the girl next to you as well. I am nineteen years old and when I was eighteen, I met the most beautiful girl that I have ever seen. For a moment, I thought that it would definitely be impossible for me to be with that kind of girl, she was kind, nice, very pretty and I could stare her Avatar for hours, sitting and drowning in my own pool of love.
It all begin with the idea to be friends as we've always been, we were actually being together almost all of the time. Had the most amazing summer together, we were together from 1 PM until 7 AM. Basically we were always waiting for the sun to come out, looking outside of the window and praying that one day, one of us will at least travel to the other. I was completely and fully, unconditionally in love with her, then she told me that her feelings seem to disappear. I was crushed, I couldn't go out, I was paralyzed to the chair, hoping and staring to see the little icon on Skype that somebody has wrote to me. I couldn't take it anymore so I had to move on and now, I think I have. I'm still quite sad but It's all in the past.
It was, probably the most beautiful year of my entire life, full with laughs, tears, joy, happiness and a lot of love. Unfortunately, she decided that she can not wait three years to meet me, I could have, but it always depends on the both sides.
I didn't really had luck with my long distance relationship, which had 7 countries between us, but that doesn't mean that any of you wouldn't. I would rather say good luck and one day, you will meet the love of your life, I hope that it does work for you.
