Okay long story short, I literally just asked out the exchange student (from Austria) and she said yes (YESSSS!). But if it actually goes anywhere, I'm worried about the distance when she leaves. She's going to leave halfway through this year around June/July, and my final exams are only a couple of months away.

How do people usually deal with distance? Has anybody ever gone out with an exchange student before? I'm wondering right now if it was a mistake to be honest, but I want to give it a go, she's cute and pretty cool and I'd like it to be a thing.

Some advice for how to deal with distance may be good for planning, the last thing I want to happen is to be left panicking about a girl a couple of months before my final exams. Cheers for the advice guys, and as always, good luck in your ventures, and may you be guided for Eternity.

My friend asked out a guy from Italy, although our school arranged a trip so I get to go see my italian friends and she will get to see her boyfriend. We talk daily about them and we also text them. She however told me if she didnt get a chance to see him, she would break up with him.

Yeah exams are very important. School or girls is the question here. I'd say have fun while it last. Let everything play out dont worry. Im not sure where you live, but maybe you can buy a train ticket to visit her. If you live overseas that is a different story.

If it ends up formulating into something you guys could skype date.

Australia haha, she comes from Austria (not sure if I said that). So basically, we literally live on opposite sides of the world, so even a skype date would be hard haha. But if we do this, and fall for each other, and truly fall for each other, I'm sure that we would work our way around the distance. I have great friends overseas, but thanks for the advice! I didn't think of skype haha

Well, when in a long distance relationship, time zones are very important. Managing this is hard. I may say things you won't like, but yeah.

I have been in 2 long distance relationships, one of them that was for quite a long time. We had 6 hours in time difference, and that was hard to manage. Make sure you are sure about this. Of course, you know this girl, you have seen her in real life before.

Long distance relationships can be grrat, but can break you if something bad happens, like my case. All I can say is, when she leaves and you two are still dating, you'll have to work hard to make it work. And I hope it will, but it may not be great once she leaves. She will also have her own life, so she may not have allot of time to talk to you.
I still wish you guys the best though! Hope it works out

I could sit here and write a novel for you about long distance relationships, because I've been in one for four years, and we are going to meet sometime this year actually, hopefully.

It requires an extremely amount of dedication, effort, and cooperation between both people in the relationship. Many distance dating relationships fail, and are mostly seen as bad ideas because of this very reason, that people just can't handle the amount of effort and commitment that is required. Distance relationships are harder than normal relationships, and it involves staying in touch with each other, trying to understand each other through simply words most of the time, and having excellent communication skills.

Not only that but keeping interest in each other is important too, what are you guys going to do while distance dating? There's a lot to think about before jumping into a distance relationship.
