Wait? Hold on? Confused!
I'm nearly 18 and about to go to university on the other side of the country. He's nearly 17 and about to start 6th form.
We've know each other two years - we talk everyday by text/facebook.
We met in orchestra and we've met about 4/5 times in person since he moved away (each time we spent the whole day together) - so it's not completely a 'cyber relationship'.
I love him and he loves me and he has told me that he was going to ask me out many times but he never did because he said we "didn't have much time because you're [me] going to uni next year and I live in a stupid place" - He and his family have moved an hour away from my home town.
I've never been out with anyone else because I have ridiculously high standards but I adore him and I can totally imagine marrying him - in fact everytime I try to tell myself he's not the perfect husband and think of his flaws, I realise that i actually love his flaws as much as I love the rest of him.
It's now completely impractical for us to be together at this stage in our lives but I don't know if I should just keep waiting until we're both out of uni (by which point he may easily have found someone he much prefers to me even though he assures he thinks it's unlikely he will) or if I should just remove him from my life completely and try and move on and date people at uni...
Any comments would be much appreciated, sorry for the essay! :)

If you both have it in your minds that you would like to be together then why not try it, I had a long distance relationship for 5 years he lived in Italy and I lived in England, I went out there when I could which sometimes wasn't for months and months and months, I cant say it was easy but if you both want it then it will work, if not then it won't and then you can move on. So why not try it I say?
try it. if you dont feel that sure about things, why not agree that you'll wait for each other? so you'd wait the time till you both feel its possible to be in a relationship and then try. if it doesnt work then at least you tried, theres no gain in not trying something when it might make you so happy.
i hope this helps and im sorry if it doesnt x
