Search Results: he is scared from past relationships

Im crazy about this girl but im afraid to get hurt. She might have to leave for a fellowship program for a year and I have been telling her to leave acrossvthe country for it even though I'm in love & dont want her to.

The girl im crazy about has been dating me exclusively but doesn't want the relationship label.

We are both afraid because we've been hurt in the past relationships.

Have you run away from the right person for you? Ever been in denial?

I have been in a Casual Relationship with a girl for the past 2 months. The Casual Relationship has been sexually "exclusive" dates between us. A couple of weeks ago she admitted to me that she wasn't dating anyone else. I told her I wasn't dating anyone else either.

Then she told me that before she met me she had applied to some fellowships out of state halfway across the country for her Occupational Therapy Post Graduate Degree program. She doesn't have to do it but it would benefit her career in the long run. She said she didn't expect much out of our Casual Relationship that she requested. Then she started crying and said that ever since we started dating her feelings have changed. We agreed that we both didn't want to date anyone else before she found out whether she was accepted 6th months from now. We also have agreed to continue dating for the next 6 months, We have an "exclusive" relationship but because of the uncertainty of what she will decide for her future, she doesn't want to put a label on it.

In the meantime, She and I have started introducing each other to our friend groups. We have told our friends that we are "dating" or "seeing" each other. Still, she doesn't want to have the "exclusive" label. But she keeps progressing things in this direction since we first started dating and having sex over the last 9 weeks. As a matter of fact, we met on a dating site and she has even gone as far as to suspend her dating site profile and told me that she doesn't want to date anyone else.

What should I do?

Should I advise her to go if it comes to a decision? Is a long distance relationship something that is possible for a whole year without sex with someone else or cheating just based on human desire and need of affection? Should I just leave on good terms in 6 months, move on and see where things are at when she comes back?

Things are going so well guys! I am scared because I think she might be "The One". Help!
