OK so my story is, I just came back from England, I met an amazing girl from Canada while i was on a Gap year program. I was in England from March till November and i met this girl September but we didn't start hitting it off till Early October to then me leaving mid November.

So now I'm back in Australia and I want to go to Vancouver which is where she is from. But now all of a sudden my ex is starting to talk to me again who I had to get rid of not by choice but because it just wouldn't of worked while overseas and she claims she still has feelings for me but the whole time i was overseas i tried my best to keep everything going but she just shut me down. So now i am back home and she wants me??

Anyways I am waiting till June so I can fly over to Canada but its still 6 months away which is kinda annoying because i got rid of my ex for the exact reason that i see myself in now.

I'm just curious if anyone has any helpful tips of how to deal with a long distance relationship? Myself and the girl i met in England are not "official" but we were going to wait till i get to Canada. I am also going to Canada to work on Mt Whistler so i'm going for the experience as well.

So my questions are.

Any tips on how to deal with this?
What should i do with my Ex, should i get rid of her or is talking ok? because she might stuff everything up and feelings might come crawling back?
How do you keep the spark going with the girl you like when your so far away, Because its now been 2 months, things are good but times i get down about it all, Just like now! lol!

Or am i just over thinking this way to much and should just let it play out and calm the **** down?

Because i know it will be worth it when i get on that plane to Vancouver and see her face.
Has anyone had any experience in this spot?

Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I can't get past the "get rid of my ex" thing you keep using over and over.

I've got nothing.

I think you need to stop thinking and just do what you want... in reality all of it is useless if you're not going to live there for good.

The only advice I can give is to go with the one where you're going to live permanently, if you're not going to live in either place permanently, let them both go. It isn't fair for them to deal with a guy who can't decide between two girls.

Surely there are fine women in Australia. Sounds like you don't really like the ex and the Canadian is just too far away. Find another girl in Australia.

Romantic feelings are amplified when you're traveling. You are still high on the experience and that makes it all the sweeter. Long distance relationships usually don't last.

If you're not into your ex, just let her go. Be polite, but don't drag it out.

oh lordy, and you expect your Vancouver fling to sit around for 6 months just pining and waiting for you. You may be all that and a bag of chips, but honey, you really ought to focus on yourself. Being a part of something is nice but you're obviously still very young with a lot of time left before you settle down. Just focus on your studies and treating others with respect. "Getting rid of ex" is not doing the latter.

When I wanted to get rid of my couch I put an ad on craigslist. Perhaps that's applicable here?
