Going The Distance

Dear Bitter/Sweet

Ok...this is gonna be long but bear with me!! I was on a placement last week with this guy and he is really nice. I was attracted to him and he's a very nice person. Anyway, he added me on facebook and then from that, he knew I was going to be in alone this past weekend and on Saturday, he texted asking me if I was bored, he was going shopping and I could tag along. Thing is we went to a city about an hour away and ended up going to the cinema as well. When I got back home, I waited a while then texted him to say thanks again cos I appreciated getting out for the day. He then replied saying it was fun and that we'd do it again before I go home (I am at uni and am moving back home next week) and then today, I had to contact him for a signature to do with my placement and he said again, we must do something before I go. A part of me thinks he's just being nice but surely he must like me a little to go to all that trouble and to mention doing something again! what do you think, is he just being nice or do you think there's something there!? thing is I'm moving next week and won't be back and I've tried long distance before but I really really like him? I'm so confused! I'm seeing him tomorrow briefly, so any advice on what I could do to find out if he likes me would be so good!

Dear Friend,

He sounds like a pretty nice guy, an his persistence in seeing you again is a sure sign that he's interested!

But think about what you just said. Long distance relationships aren't something your fond of, so ask yourself if you see this taking on that direction. Do you think this will just be a casual fling? Do you think there is a real solid connection that could grow into something else? If long distance is a problem for you, then perhaps keeping things very casual would be best, and don't worry about how much he likes you. But if you are genuinely interested in this guy, and want to keep in touch; then asking him straight out would probably be your best bet.

Good Luck

Sincerely,
Sweet

Dear Friend,

Let's just be real here. Chances are, a relationship would not work out. And I think you are getting WAY ahead of yourself on this one. You don't even know the man yet!! But I do think that he likes you. Why else would he want to hang out with you again! Duh..I doubt he would waste his time if you weren't worth it!! Hey have fun while you're there but don't be silly, do you think he'd be ALL ABOUT YOU after you moved?! Yeeeeeeaaah RIGHT!!! Get a man you can keep a short leash on!!

Sincerely,
BITTER
