(Another one of my help me threads bare with me people!)
Something very unexpected happened this summer. I promised myself I wouldn't do this because it wouldn't end well but.. I started dating a guy back home(Europe).. that i really really like. And what sucks is I'm returning back to America for Uni this semester. I'm supposed to leave on Monday and I don't want to go. I seriously just want to stay here with him and take online courses. It's ridiculous and I'm being naive and stupid and I know better. He's going to try to visit me sometime this semester if he has enough money. And as we all know long distance relationships hardly work out. Especially when you're in separate continents. But he says we'll just Skype and when I come home this Christmas we'll still be together and blabla..

So fem misc, please tell me how stupid I'm being. Please? I'm letting my emotions take over and my logic punches me in the face every now and then. Would you give up a chance for a good education for a guy? Older ladies, chip in?

 

What would you do? halp

No would not give up education, youre only 20. Get back to school princess and stop being stupid.

Sorry Im no old lady here.

I think you should go. Try the long distance thing - it's only a few months until Christmas and if you both truly care about each other, then it could work. If you don't think you care about each other enough to last long distance for a few months then do you really want to throw away such a great educational experience for the relationship?

 

What would you do? halp

Very good point. I'm being a complete girl and don't want him to find someone else in the mean time or lose interest. But you're right.. if he can't handle 4 months than that relationship wouldn't have lasted long to begin with!

 

What would you do? halp

Fuark girl are you kidding me? Don't you dare give up the education... jesus man. You are 20 years old and no matter how happy you are right now, you are way to young with too much life ahead of you to give up something like that on a guy you've only been dating for the summer.

It sucks, because long distance relationships don't work out very often, but you have to keep your priorities in line. Right now your priority should be getting your education, so that you can be independent, contribute to a relationship, have more freedom over your work, more financial freedom to have a better quality of life etc...

That's what getting a degree can give you and it is a small sacrifice to make early in life to have so many options later on. By later on that is just a few years away.

Good luck. Where in America? Do we get to hang out or what, maybe NBE, BigZ and I can fly you to Washington. I'm still waiting for someone to accept the offer.

 

What would you do? halp

Lol always enjoy your brutal honesty

 

What would you do? halp

Your school should be your #1 priority! Come to the US for Uni!

In regards to your guy friend, if its mean't to be it will always find its way.

Ahh feeling better already I know this stuff deep down, just need someone to hammer it into my head for me. I wouldn't dare mention it to my mother cause she would probably take a bat to my head lol... But you're right, my priority should be my education and ME right now. And I'm going to MINNESOTA! So cold, and lol I think it would be legendary to have a female misc meet up. I'd bring popcorn

 

What would you do? halp

I say go back to school.
He's willing to put in the wait time, skype and work out a way to come see you.

I know. Im not one the women of the fem misc.
But Im old enough to be your father and as your online father I say he's not good enough for you.

Cause thats what dads with daughters say

 

What would you do? halp

Yes. Education definitly > *
