i'm having relationships problems and i really don't know what to do anymore. about a month ago i met this really cute boy, michael, who i've been dating. he lives in new jersey, but he was here in san diego taking some courses in ucsd. now that classes are over, he had to go back to his hometown leaving me completely uncertain on where we stand. when i met him, i knew he was soon going back, but i still decided to take on on a relationship with him. i thought having a few good weeks with him would be better than having none. now that he's gone, we constantly talk on the phone and through the blackberry messenger. there's not a single moment in which we don't know what the other person is doing. this is where my problem begins.
first of all, i have to admit that i'm kinda new to this relationship thing. i'm a very independent person and having to check up with someone all the time just isn't my thing. he's completely needy and even though i've tried to break up with him a million times he just doesn't give up on us. i don't believe in long-distance relationships, but somehow i've been involved in one for the past week. i'm not sure how longer i can take it. sometimes i just feel like i'm going to explode. i need patience.
