Channykie: For what it's worth, we all have one of those relationships that turn into long-distance relationships. My first sweetheart and I dated for years, until she moved to Memphis to attend pharmacy school. We did the long-distance thing for a year and a half, but the phone calls got less and less frequent, as did the home visits.

There's nothing wrong with trying a long-distance relationship. Some actually do work out, but most don't. There's nothing wrong with trying, however.

For you, the only thing to do is to bring positive things into your life. I'm not saying that has to be other guys, but you do need to build a strong network of friends and positive activities. The busier you can stay, the better you will feel. I put a lot of miles on a bicycle, alone and with people, when I was in the long-distance thing. The busier you are, the less time you have to dwell on the relationship.

It sounds like you're dwelling on the relationship. While understandable, that's not helping anything. in long-distance relationships, what will happen will happen. Dwelling on it really doesn't change anything.

My best advice is to get yourself as active as possible and focus on bringing positive things into your life. If you two get back together, you'll be a more interesting person. If not, then you'll have a lot easier time meeting other people if you're active and have positive things in your life.
