Semi-Long Distance
Carlos, 18
Texas
Asks:
Ok... I worked at a firework stand on 4th of July and I met another girl who worked there also. got her phone number that night and called her. The next day I took her to eat and took her shopping and we were really into each other. But later on I find out she lives 3 hours away from me. Its been 3 days that we talk for no more than 10 min each day because either we are to busy, tired, or just simply nothing to talk about. How can I get the conversation going?? I really don't know really much about her, just her first name and where she lives. Please give me advice. I really like this girl and I want things to work out between us. Thanks!
Lee's Thoughts:
If things went so well, I'd bite the bullet and drive the three hours to see her next weekend. It would be a sweet (romantic) gesture and it would give you a little more time for face to face interaction. Phone conversations are tough, especially in the middle of the week when you both have everyday stresses on your minds. Having another "date" will be much more fun and will give you both a chance to discover more things you have in common. THAT will help facilitate your phone conversations in the future. You just need to get to know her better, and right now that will take some driving. Also, it will show her that you are interested. That will add the needed energy to this newly formed relationship.
Three hours distance is annoying, but not the end of the world. Go for it!!

Ah! When I was 19 I was smitten by this girl I met on vacation in Portugal. She lived in Rhode Island, I lived in New Jersey (about a 4 hour drive each way) so when we got back from Portugal, during that summer I made that trip every weekend. She was older, about 25, and oh such a good teacher :) (Lidia, wherever you are, thanks for the best summer of my life.)
Carlos, shut-up and drive, boy! You'll never regret it no matter how things turn out! Just get in the car, crank-up the music, and start creating great memories!
