Hi,
So i'm not entirely sure if this is fitting as it's my first post here.
I began dating a girl in May, she's from Colombia but resides in Germany. We first met in April when I flew to see an old friend, my old pal introduced me to her best friend there, we got along fantastically, culminating in a food fight at a meal the three of us were having.
When I landed back in England we began chatting, hours on end, she said she'd like to come over to see Manchester as it's where our mutual friend is also from. I was delighted to meet her at the airport when she got here in May, over the following week we got to know each other a hell of a lot, we started dating the day before she left.
I visited with friends to tour Europe less than three weeks later and the two of us hung out all of the time.
It is now July and it's been around 6 weeks since I last saw her, we message each other every day when we're not both working and video call too but it's just not the same.
She told me a couple of weeks ago how she disliked the distance and it was getting her down, I missed her terribly but I feel that it is only now its starting to affect me. it's only 6 weeks, i'm aware there are plenty of people here who've had to be away much much longer, but there's such a myriad of emotions its hard to pin the ones that matter down.
I love talking to her but at the same time hate is as when we stop to work/sleep it feels so detached again, like they're there one minute and gone the next.
I feel jealous of all the people who get to spend more time with her, people who go out for drinks and to the movies with her, I feel that as we're together they're the basic things we should be able to do together and it's impossible because of the distance. Most of her friends are guys too so i'm extra jealous here, (not at all implying she might be messing around, just wish i was there to have a laugh with her too..)
I know i'm whining a little here, just wondering how people have coped with this feeling if they have felt it too.
Thanks
