Long Distance Relationship Help

Shannon.... the girl who im talking about 800 miles away i would like to date and we are friends.

Don't do it. You're already in the "friend" zone. Chances are she's already seeing/hooking up with someone else and just keeping you in the back pocket for fallout. Sorry you had to hear it here first. But go ahead and ignore the 10+ posts above that say stay away. Go ahead and dump hundreds of $'s per month and eventually thousands per year in travel on a relationship that will never happen. If we're on 3 pages of responses and you're still trying to talk yourself into it, then you might as well never have started this post in the first place. You're too young to be prioritizing a long-term relationship. Seriously kid.
