Question
My girl friend and I really like each other, but we live about an hour apart so we don't get to see each other much. What should I do?
Answer
I think you should use the separation to become great friends! If you can email or talk on the phone, you can share things, talk about everything going on in your lives, and be great friends, which is really Important. As you get older and drive, you will be able to spend more time together. If you find you have nothing to talk about, then it is not a strong relationship and you can let it go. Good luck!
