Okay, so I met this person from a different state and we both totally like each other. I'm 17 and he will be 20. He flies out on the tenth, his birthday.

We hung out and helped each other during the time we had. we could only hang out at fair because im not really aallowed to hang out with guys yet on my own, parents rules. Well,I'm not allowed to date and he knows that. He is very respectful, polite, and a kind gentleman. I've only known him about two weeks, but we both like each other and care for each other.

But now that we cant hang out anymore, we have still been talking to each other every day. He has thought about coming back to visit again, and maybe even going to college here and working here in my state. But recently he has been unsure about coming here.

I know he can live his own life and stuff, but I also don't want our relationship we have to end or fade away. I'm not pushing him into anything and I am not going to ask him anything about his opinions about me, because I don't want to be annoying to him and for a few other reasons as well.

I'm just wondering of ways we can try and keep ourselves together while we are apart and not fade from each other. When I graduate next summer I will be allowed to date and maybe I will see him that summer as well.

I just really don't want our relationship now and for our future to diminish. He is very kind and an amazing person, and I really don't want us to fall apart. This is the first person I've had feelings for, but I feel like we have a mutual feeling for each other. Not quite love, but close maybe.

I don't know, just anything you have to say would help.
