My Dilemma: Long Distance Vs. Short Distance Relationship. Which To Choose?

There is a girl who I have loved since childhood. But she moved away, far away. Although we have been in touch, never in a relationship have we been. She is coming back to my town for christmas, only to go away again to college. I am going away to college as well. Now should I start a long distance relationship with a girl I have much in common, or a close distance one when I go to my college. I can always see her after we both graduate.. unless she finds someone else… What do you think is the best option?

Is Long Distance Relationships Working Too Well For Me?

my and bf has been in a long distance relationship for going on 2 years now. im in college and he working making a living. we text and talk on the phone every day like we are phyically together. we see each other about two weeks. i love that about us. we are still in love and we each have our own space. i hate being around the smother and being around that same person too long.
my question is it a bad thing that i reather have a long distance relationship then have a normal close distance relationship?
