    My First Post/ Intro

    Hello, Members of the LFAD Interweb Community. ( Sorry For the spelling, Length, and Grammar in advance. I just Finished 30+ pages of various Reports and my fingers, eyes, and Brain are starting to feel it)

    My SN is pretty long (sorry Its My Forum Name I use almost Everywhere) So you can call Me "JD".
    But first Let me Explain the meaning of my SN.( believe me its Relavant). My Summers Consist of Working at the Oldest Boy Running Scout Camp in the United States as a Counselor and the "ES64" is Because I am Eagle Scout # 64 in My troop. (Simple Enough)

    I have Spent most of my life Resisting Relationships.
    I Resisted them in Middle School because I was always too Busy with Band,Boy Scouts, and Paintball.
    I Resisted In High School because I knew one day we would all Graduate and Move on with our Lives. I even Missed My own Prom.(Regretting That Decision Right Now) and I Resisted Relationships
    My Freshman Year of College because I was in the mind set that I knew EXACTLY what I was going to do upon Graduation. I was Going to Graduate With a Degree in Law Enforcement and Move to D.C. and start My Career in the Federal Government With the DHS. (Can't Hurt to Dream Big)

    This Past Summer I worked at Summer Camp for my second year but doing a different Job. I worked in the High-Adventure part of the Camp so I did Stuff like Leading Canoe Trips on one of the Lakes in the Camp, Working at the Climbing Tower and High Ropes Coarse, and Life guarding Tubing Trips Down the White River ( our version of a Lazy River). And Every Weekend as the Scouts left the Staff I was apart of Would Hang out and get to know each-other better. We Eventually all became really Tight Knit and Family Like. Went to the Movies, Played Pranks on other Camps(within our Camp), Told stories around a camp fire, and Went on Early morning/Late Night adventures to Random places W/In Driving Distance.

    As the Summer Went on I Started feeling attracted to one of the Girls I was working With on staff, But was reluctant to approach her Younger age(17) and the complications of the BSA's youth Protection rules.

    The End of the summer came, Every one was doing their "Good Bye and see ya Next Year" rounds. Right before I got in my car to drive away and head Home. She came up behind me and draged me away and said she Wanted to Talk.
    (THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE)
    Apparently She had the same Feeling for me as I had for her.
    So, We talked for probably 20 or 30 Minuets and decided that even though our Situation Wasent "Ideal" we would give a LDR a try.
    Currently Im in Macomb,Il Working on a Degree and She is In her last Year of High School and in the Late Stages of the Application Process for the U.S. Navel Academy.

    Since the End of Camp I have Seen her twice and We went to a local Climbing gym both Times. Ill be seeing her again in 3 weeks and I'm Really looking forward to that Weekend!


    TL;DR
    Call me "JD" Me an my SO met at a Summer Camp.


    On a Slight Side Note: The only problems I'm having is that b/c this is a LDR (let alone my First relationship) most of our communication is through short calls and periodic txt messages and most of our conversations are the same "How have you been", "good, hbu". I tried the Desert Island Game last week and It seemed to change up the conversation but We have run out of questions for the game and have returned to our old/Bland conversations.

    Do you guys/Gals have any Tips, Tricks, or Suggestions.

      Welcome! I think you will find a lot of tips and tricks and ideas if you poke around this website more! You can try playing games together, you could try having virtual dates (My bf and I are going to start that every second Saturday, I'm quite excited about it!) You can talk about everything and anything. Get to know her goals and her dreams. Learn about her family and her friends. Ask her about her childhood and talk about yours... Do some window shopping together on Ebay and learn each other's tastes, etc. Before you know it you will never run out of things to talk about!! My SO literally have the problem that even after two years, we end up spending too much time talking. Each night we say no more than 2 hours, I have to go to bed early, and we end up talking 4-5 hours... and it is STILL hard to say good night...

        Welcome to LFAD JD! As Vicky said, this forum is VERY good for tips and tricks, it's great for support and advice, and it's also fun just to kick back and learn about other people who are in the same situation that you are. Enjoy it here and if you need a friendly ear, never hesitate to hit me up!
