Re: dilemma!
salz, sometimes when we are "in love" we only listen to our emotions and get carried away. Soon, the practicality of the relationship comes forward and all of a sudden it gets really hard.
Like some others pointed out, your relationship is not going to be a smooth sailing after some time and you will need an incredible amount of confidence, persistency and consistency to deal with the situation.
Personally, I feel you are getting carried away because you are at the age everyone needs someone and you settle with what you have. Unfortunately, that may not be the best thing for you.
