Search Results: what is love true love marriage

I have been dating my girlfriend for just over two years now. We met playing Xbox and discovered that we lived close, well, about 45 minutes away from each other. We made seeing each other two or three times a week work for two years and I love her with every ounce of me. We would meet up and see each other even for just 15 minutes over coffee. I am head over heels for this girl and she is to me. Only, she's in college now, just over 1000 miles away, and I don't know what to do. I feel extremely torn. On one side, I want nothing but for her to be happy and to meet all sorts of new people and all kinds of fun. On the other hand she is mine, I want to make sure she won't fall for somebody else... I bought plane tickets to see her in the fall, and she is coming back every winter, spring, and summer (her whole family is here). We barely text which I understand- she's busy I'm sure, we call frequently and Skype every night. We send love letters and gifts to each other constantly. When she talks about her future to me it's always 'we will travel the world' and 'we will live in our own place'. The point is, I'm always with her. She's even accidentally called me hubby several times and we've talked about marriage. Everyone I talked to told me to dump her because long distance can't work. Ever. Is this true though? I feel like we were already in a long distance relationship before college and that worked amazingly. This girl is my world, I've never met a girl who I WANT to cook for. Who I WANT to help her clean the house, or want her to meet my family, or for me to meet hers. We both paintball, play xbox, like the same food. I've always lived in poverty whereas she lives in a mansion and flies around the world. She loves me for nothing else but who I am, and I to her. I want to be with her everyday and if I have to wait 4 years for that then I will, but am I delusional? Will she meet somebody else and leave me far behind? I need somebody to tell me if this can work. Please.

Said emotionally detached girl has not fallen for any guy before. Maybe she had a crush or two, but that was it.

She treats dating as a serious issue of commitment and trust, so she will refuse to date anyone until she is 100% certain that guy is the one she will marry. Hence no matter how hard a guy tries, she will never admit to liking him, or allow herself to like him.

She is INTP in the Myers-Briggs test, so she's emotionally detached. She doesn't appreciate romantic gestures. She doesn't express concern or interest for anyone or anything unless it's a topic that she really loves. So she seems distant or uncaring to others. Even her gal friends she will ignore or try to change topic if it's a boring topic.

And being INTP, she can be very blunt with her words. She is very direct in telling others about her insensitivity, so she can easily filter out people who wouldn't get along with her.

Given all these emotional issues, do you think such a girl has any chance of "discovering romanticism"? Like... being able to feel true passion for a guy? Being able to soften her words, show concern for her guy?

Or would she still be the same girl as she is?

I'm going out with said girl, and I have my doubts. Right now my infatuation with her is overriding some of my doubts, but I fear once the honeymoon period wears off, or maybe even post-marriage, I might find her unbearable.
