So I may have made mention of this before, but I had met a girl while I was abroad back in June-July & we've kept in some serious contact since. She's marriage-quality & I do feel that we are somewhat in "love" with each other. I can see myself having a life with her, but the distance is too far, for now. We'll have to figure something out. We're both still young and she's especially young, so we have time to figure it out.

About a month after I said good-bye to that girl, I met a girl here in Texas and we've developed a "friends with benefits" thing. She's very busy & I'm very busy, but while I could see myself seeking a relationship with her, she's just too busy with school to seek one with me. So we just get together every once in a while and hang out & have some fun. I did take her out to lunch & dinner on occasion, so we do spend time with each other outside of bed & her couch and we do text a lot. We're pretty good friends, we have a lot in common.

I think I would be significantly more attracted/"in love" with my FWB if I didn't have the girl abroad. I feel that the girl abroad is taking care of my emotional needs (that the FWB can't) and that the FWB is taking care of my physcial needs & wants (that the girl abroad can't unless we get together). I've never been happier with girls. This summer's been the summer that's changed a lot of things for me & I feel very, very content. I wish it could be more, but since it can't, I'll be happy with this until I have the power/luck to change things.

What do you guys think? Do you think it's a good situation where I'm having my emotional and physical needs met appropriately? What's your long-term prognosis? Just wondering.

Hope all of y'all are doing well this weekend!

Well, it's a cake whose taste is marred by distance. I'm just trying to be happy and have my needs & wants met, that's all. Anything wrong with that?

To Post #2, I'm 24 years old. Turn 25 in 4 weeks or so. And I'm just asking y'alls opinion on this, I guess. It's long-distance emotional happiness with short-distance physical happiness. How long & how short?

Try 7,407 miles for the former & 6 inches for the latter, if you get my drift.

Question...does the long distance girl know you are sleeping with the other girl?

Is there any way she is over there thinking you guys have something exclusive?
