<p>Before I start, I just want to say that this thread is for me to ***** about my life, and hopefully get some help with things, if you hate these kind of threads, leave now lol.</p>
<p>Anyway, I got really close with this foreign exchange student who's here until July, I mean we're really close; I probably know more about her than most of my friends. We hang out a lot, we text a lot, we're basically boyfriend/girlfriend without the title. She makes me happy, everyday I can't help but smile, because of her. And so I'm sure you know where this is going..</p>
<p>Well the thing is, without her, my life wouldn't be so grand. The only family I have here is my mom, dad, and sister. My mom's family lives on the east coast (while I'm a Pacific Northwestern), and my dad's family lives in Romania. They are all practically strangers to me, if one of them dies, it would barely impact my life, which is downright sad. I've never had a big Thanksgiving party, or Christmas get together. My sister locks herself in her room, and YouTubes all day, my mom and dad have no social lives, and I barely have one at that (I'm that kid who has a decent amount of friends at school, but rarely hangs with them outside of class), and I have 4-6 hours of homework a day, thanks to AP classes. So I'm stressed, and depressed. </p>
<p>Now, for the conclusion. As I said, this girl who makes me so happy, will have to leave eventually, and I might never see her again. What can I do to stop myself from becoming 'Mr. Lonely' after she goes?</p>
<p>Make a baby, and see how things go from there.</p>
<p>Alright, on the real… keep contact with her after she leaves. If you really like this girl, you would do your absolute best to keep her in your contacts.</p>
<p>Lol @RAlec114, when I said I have no family here, I meant my non immediate family. I live with my dad and sister, and see my mom every other weekend (they’re divorced).</p>
<p>Wow, sounds like my life, only no divorce and student instead of exchange student. =/</p>
<p>Anyways, do what MITHopeful said: keep in touch with her. In a couple of years, you two can arrange to meet, or move, or whatever and continue where you left off. The odds of you two being together in the end are low, but it’s still worth a shot if she makes you that happy.</p>
<p>Im gonna offer a voice of dissent. You need to realize that although you think she’s the greatest thing to grace god’s earth right now, once she leaves, there will still be plenty of fish in the sea.</p>
<p>You don’t want to be tied down to a girl who’s a thousand miles away. It may seem hard, but you’ll get over her. I promise.</p>
<p>Sounds like something I went through last summer. Except I never hinted that I was interested, and now that he’s half a world away, I’m feeling like I missed a connection or something.
Does she not have plans to live here in the future?
Like suggested above, this is also what Skype is designed for. ;)</p>
