That's because each of those "seems like decent guys" would go after 8 decent girls at the same time.....

Update: I am leaving work early on friday and flying to see her off to japan. I am pretty sure that a second good-bye is only gonna make things harder though.

I met my wife in England and had to come back to the US to finish my last year of school. She came and visited in the summers. If its love, you can find a way. Waiting and being apart sucks, but you can outlast the problems if you want. Find a good calling plan and save money so you can go visit her (I'd highly recommend Ireland :)). Nothing is impossible in love...

Are calling cards the best way to go or are there actual international plans i can get?

I've had 2. Both ended by me.
1. I was gone for 6 months it worked out we are still really good friends.
2. She moved here, and damn, I couldn't stand her once I saw her everyday.

I personally know several couples that are happily married that had long distance relationships for 9-12 months. Of course I have to say they never had sex till marriage(to my knowledge).

It could work, but statistics arent on your side.

We just spent the last 2 weeks together and she left today for spring break and then she flies off to Japan for 4 months. I will be able to see here when she gets back but she will only be back a month before she leaves for Ireland for 9 months. I have no idea where I wil bee in 14 months. This really sucks.

Just a question; is your sig referring to your GF? :D

I'm getting pretty serious with my GF now, but come summer we are going to be away for 3 months (only a 4 hour drive so I'll see her some) but then shes leaving for New York for 4 months (I'm in Seattle).
We are kind of planing on taking a break while she's gone so it isnt hard on us and we dont have some huge break up over the phone like I have seen happen quite a few times. After she gets back we'll see how things go.
I love her though and its really hard to think about her being gone in a few months.

That's a REALLY good plan. :) I'm assuming you are both of college age? (Early 20's or so?) If so, you're both wise beyond your years. Take that break...make no promises about what, who, when or whatever you'll do while apart.

Make a promise to NOT talk about when and if you ever get back together. If it was meant to be, it'll happen down the road. If not *shrug* you'll live. Good luck. :)

Yeah we are both about to turn 20...
I agree, if we are meant to be together we should have nothing to worry about.

Plans, plans of my own, of the next year,
I do keep so close, so close and so dear

For it is with absolute dread and with absolute fear
That I fret, of next weeks shedding, shedding of so many a tear

For it is great misery I do see, so plain and so clear
All of this awfulness I do feel, as if it were all, all too near.

The sorrow of next week I will bare
This great sadness, so great it is, is not fair

Good-bye is here and up from the depths it does loom
And I feel a horrible feeling, a feeling of great doom.

I will think back to the good memories and good experiences we had
The good times we had, I will treasure always, and I will lock away the bad

I will be thankful that we are together again but it will seem to end, end all too fast
When that happens we will all try, try to make it, make it forever last

But no matter how much, or how hard we try, it will eventually come to an end
And to the ever-present and encroaching sadness upon our hearts, we will tend

I chance that when I am feeling sad and blue, I can look upon this, upon this poem
And remember back to a time, to a time when all was wonderful and feel as if, as if I have you've come home
