Need advice about long distance relationships (4)

I met this girl on myspace about a year ago. I friended her because we had a lot of interests in common. Over the next few months, we talked quite a bit and shared a lot of information about ourselves. Now, we're both extremely awkward in social situations, and neither of us had been in more than one or two serious relationships. Eventually, our friendship got very serious, we both admitted that we really liked each other. The problem was that we live about 600 miles apart. We would spend hours talking about what we would do if we could be together, and we talk every day. Right now we're at the point where we're saying "I love you" to each other, but we both realize that we can't be in a "real" relationship like this. Neither of us are in a position to leave; we're both attending college where we are. I could go visit her every now and then, but that would be very costly and I could only do it a few times a year.

This is my question. Should I continue this pseudo-relationship, visit her every now and then, and hope she still wants me around when we can be together? Or should I tell her we need to just be good friends so I don't miss out on any opportunities here at school? I'd love to hear some of your stories involving long distance relationships (good or bad).

Wait, no let me be serious.

Yeah, that about sums it up. You get my point.

If your love for her is strong enough, and if you believe that she's worth your patience and effort, you can try.

Your question is better asked to the girl herself. You both need to decide whether or not you're willing to be serious with a relationship that will be difficult to maintain. You need to be very patient and strong if you want it to last, and you both need to either trust each other or give each other leeway in case those opportunities you mentioned turn up for either of you.

If one or both of you don't have that strong of a desire for each other, a long distance relationship is the laughing matter >>2 brings up.
