Hey everybody who wants to help me out, here's my predicament!
I'm 18. The girl who I love and dated for the past 8 months (and yes, we love eachother, and yes, it is real, we are completely comfortable with eachother, we laugh, we have good times all the time, and being together feels extremely natural and very appropriate.) is 16. Being in Oregon, since I turned 18 it becomes illegal (highly illegal) for me to be with her and do anything sexual, so once I turned 18 we stopped dating to make our parent's happy, because her father is a mandatory reporter (fireman, with a nice moustache and everything! :D ) and if anything were to happen, even if he gave consent, he looked into it, as he really likes me, he would be required to report it and I would get into some SERIOUS trouble, which is no bueno!
So we have been technically apart, but we have made promises to eachother to remain in touch and the day she turns 18, I'm asking her out again. However, 2 years is a while! And since I'm graduating this year, it will get tougher remaining as connected as we are because we won't see eachother every day.
We REALLY don't want to hang out a ton because we don't want her father to be worried about her, or my parents about me and have them get involved and have it turn into a big legal mess.
We do love eachother, and we have made promises to stick out these next 2 years and keep texting eachother every day, and video chatting, and hanging out whenever it's APPROPRIATE, so we really feel like we're doing the right thing by not being together and doing "things" that couples do, and keeping our parents happy until it's legal and we can all be happy.
However, we also know that it's not gonna be a walk in the park. It'll be tough at times, and we have started to take some precautions to when we feel down (I bought us a matching jewellery set, she has the bracelet, I have the necklace, its' super cute and whatnot, which we'll wear every day.)
So, I'm wondering, if you made it through that massive post, if you could help me out!
I am in desperate need of some more ways to remain connected to her without hanging out with her but every once in a while for the next 2 years to help make our wait easier on us. Again, this is love, not infatuation, and I would greatly appreciate the help. Because as I'm sure some of you must know, ANYTHING will help. :D
Thanks! ~T
