A: Your are flirting with a problem, no pun intended. It's ok to be friends, but you should draw the line there. It's a ldr as you pointed out. I'd start looking around for someone closer geographically and age wise before progressing too far. Your young and I'm sure have many great qualities. If you dont know them yet, then you need to understand yourself before looking into a relationship. Find someone who respects you and admires you for being you.
