tears.gif My boyfriend is leaving for the Korean army in Septemberish. Since he lives in Chicago and I live in California we have a long distance relationship and we can basically only meet up during long breaks when both of us go to Korea. We haven't been going out for very long time (a little over a month..) and i honestly still don't know if i know him well enough..in other words, he's kind of mysterious. And to make things worse, we don't have a single mutual friend because we met at a club. Im only 18 and he's turning 21 soon. My friends keep telling me that waiting for him for two years is going to be extremely difficult and its a waste of time considering I'm at the age where i should be partying my butt off and having fun with boys and whatnot. He told me the other day that he's not gonna ask me to wait for him because he doesn't expect me to. However, if he starts to like me to the point he doesn't wanna let go, he said hes probably gonna beg me to wait. To be honest, I'm very immature mentally when it comes to "love.". For example I start to like other guys fast and I've been called a player many times because I supposedly flirt a lot. As of now, I feel like I really like him and I've never met a guy that expressed his feelings for me as much as he does. Were meeting in Korea again in a month and we basically have three months to "date." I thought of breaking up with him for now just because of the situation right now...but I feel like I'm going to regret it a lot because I feel like I wont be able to meet someone as good as him (lets just say he has the looks, the brains, and a charming personality that girls are attracted to). I guess I don't have a problem "waiting" for him if it was guaranteed that he'd like me forever.

what am i supposed to do???

Nothing in life is ever guaranteed. The only thing you can guarantee...You eat, poop, pay taxes, and eventually die.

I say, live your life to the best of your ability, and if it was meant to be, it will happen....If not, then it wasn't.

the promises of tomorrow aren't guaranteed today...

simply putting it... dont be so indulged in one person... your young... and you still have alot of things to do... and honestly i really can't see it working out all to well since you haven't even known each other for along time. so my advice is let it go, and if you guys were meant to be then somehow you'll find each other again.

Let fate take you wherever it wants to.

But honestly, you already know what kind of person you are, so enjoy the time you have with him left and wait until you're unhappy and unsatisfied with your life. You should do what you feel comfortable doing, because if he isn't expecting you to wait for him, that should be enough said.

I think you should enjoy your life right now because you will regret putting yourself in the dark for a guy you don't even know you'll stay with for the rest of your life. If he decides to come back after he's done his duty and you're available, then let it happen. If not, then oh well. Just don't get with a guy and break his heart because your boyfriend right now decides he wants to be with you again.

Why don't you wait, it's only 2yrs of your life, maybe you can really find out what sort of a person you are in these 2yrs.

LOL...3:30 AM I'm sitting in my office alone and I laughed by myself...lmao thanks needed a good laugh.

But yeah. Don't promise him anything until you're sure. Going into the army is serious business and if you get the hopes up than you're basically going to ruin his whole moral during his stay there. If I were you I would sort out my feelings before telling him anything. Nothing beats a broken heart while your risking your life for your country. I may not be that dramatic but still. This is a Korean forum so I thought I'd add a little something.
