Big Crush > from sazkion (20-somethingmale)5 answers
Ok here's the thing. This girl and i work at a grocery store, once we met we just clicked. We've known each other for about 7 months now. Now we are great friends and we both like each other. Everyone at work thinks we are dating even though we haven't been on one date. She's a senior in high school and I graduated in '07 so i'm about 3 years older. I am planning to leave on a two year mission for my church so i don't want to get into anything serious. We have talked for hours on the phone and she's come to visit me at work while she is heading over from school to a tech center and I've visited her while she was working. (I usually work morning shifts now and am off before she comes to work) She has told me about dating and she also said that her mom would be ok if we went on a date together, but I'm not sure if i should go on a date. ..
Am i just being stupid and am taking this too seriously? Do you think I should go on a date with her?..

A date is just that ... A DATE. It is not as i understand it a promise to marry or stay pure. Go on the damn date. Nothing wrong with seeing other people while you're away for a few years. Real chemistry could survive a two year stint, plus you'd both be older and wiser. Nothing worst than regret...

If it weren't for the mission you're embarking on, I'd tell you that there's nothing wrong with dating this girl. However, a two-year absence is a terrible strain to put on any relationship, let alone a new one between two very young people. Enjoy her friendship, keep in touch while you're abroad, and if it's meant to be, you can rekindle the romance when you return...

The only thing that jumps out at me about this dilemma is that you're about to leave for TWO YEARS. that is a really long time for a relationship to survive being apart, especially with someone so young. I wouldn't lead the girl on like that, if I were you. It doesn't seem fair to start dating only to have to have this painful separation...
..
Sorry, but that's my opinion...

My first reaction was "uh, YES!?" but after reading the other answers saying two years is too much strain, they have a good point. It sounds like you two are a great pair and are wild about each other. Definitely keep in touch with her while you are away, and make a point to spend time together if you have any visits back home during your two years away. (Is there any way you can make it a one-year trip?)..

One date doesn't mean you are going to get married. God, I've gone on two first-dates this week and they were fine but I'm not thinking that it will necessarily lead anywhere -- other than to decide if I want to go on a second date...
You really like her. You already know you get along with her. Why not go to dinner? Why not see a movie together? You aren't leaving for your mission trip yet. Do you have to stay home by yourself until after the trip? That sounds lame and depressing. Go on the date if you like her and want to see her...
