Advice

I'd say wait till he comes back from basic. If you still feel attracted to each other than go for it. That way you'll know it's a bit more than carnal attraction.

I'm sure it's not carnal attraction.

how long is the guy gonna be away for? sounds like you've both got past the initial part of realizing you each like each other. so why not put it on hold? wait till after he comes back to start an intimate relationship. in the mean time, you can go out and have fun with your friends, maybe meet another guy maybe not.

I agree, and would also like to add that if neither of you are sure that you want to stay together, it's best to just default to the 'no we don't' instead of trying to figure it out while in a shitty (read: long-distance) relationship. Much easier for all involved... and when he gets back, if you're both still interested, then go for it.

Traditional wisdom dictates that long distance relationships almost never work out. But then, when has anyone ever listened to traditional wisdom where the heart is concerned?

The best I can do is advising you to listen to RaiRai. You can do it, but it is not easy.

Join up. Nothing's hotter than a woman in uniform and you can keep an eye on your guy (I'm a poet and didn't know it!).
