GIRLS: Would you wait for him 1 year?

i would. I'm in a serious relationship right now, and I'm leaving for college soon, and we're gonna take a break for a year to see if it's what we want. I'm not gonna be single for an entire year, but if I don't find someone that I like better, I'll get back with him. I'm 18 by the way

If you truly love them and believe it can work out, then it's worth waiting for. My husband is currently in Iraq for the next 9 months (already 3 down!) and just because he's gone a year doesn't mean I'm gonna leave. Even if we weren't married. I guess it all depends on how serious it is, and what you two think you should do, and the situation.

no. I would stay in touch and and still have feelings for the guy, but it wouldn't stop me from seeing other people. I wouldn't necessarily look for other relationships though.id keep my options open

It really depends on if he was the one and only person for me or not. The fact that ur only 17 is a big thing though. I would honestly probably do the same as the last comment as a year is a long time if ur not 100% certain they are that special someone. In that year you could possibly even meet someone you feel more closer too but I would probably take one day at a time and c how things go

At your age, I wouldn't forget about it, but I couldn't promise I wouldn't date around. I'd keep him in the back of my mind, but I'd go out and flirt and possibly date around. If I didn't make any real connections with anyone by the time he moved then I'd be all about it.
