Define Long Distance. Shes Scared Of A Ld Relationship.?

Ok, first off, please define what type of drive distance you think qualifies as a long distance relationship. (hours, not miles please)
This girl and I have been friends for a long time, and are infact best of friends now. We tell eachother everything, and are open about the fact that we both like eachother, but we dont talk about that fact often. She gets all quiet and says long distance relationships dont work.
Then, yesterday over aim she vented about everything going wrong at the moment and then went on to say that she would absoloutley love to date me, but she doesnt thing long distance ever works out. She has MAJOR trust issues, even with me to an extent. She said that if we ever ended up at the same college, she would date me in a heartbeat, but, again, she isnt sure if I could be faitlful, and she said she doesnt know if she could. She also stated that she doesnt want to risk our friendship. ***more details in a second***

I’m Gonna Start A Long Distance Relationship In January?

My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 months now, but we were really close friends/had strong feelings for each other for about a year before that. We’re both 18 and I’m going to Community College on a scholarship. He doesn’t have a scholarship or the money to go to school. His father joined the military and his family will be moving with him on base in 10 months, but he doesn’t want to go with them.
He has looked into a private University that will pay for four years of college so long as he joins the army on the third year. He will graduate as an officer. He wants to marry me as soon as he does, and he wants me to move on base with him. He says that Officers don’t usually go into war, which is what scares me the most about him joining.
Now, this all sounds amazing, and I love him so much that I’d marry him in a heartbeat. I feel like we’ve been dating for much longer then we have been, but the only problem is that his school is at least one hour away, and we’d only be able to see each other once a week or at least every two weeks. That’s still not too awful, but I was in a long Distance relationship before with a guy who wanted to marry me (he was much older then me, I was younger and really naive) and it failed miserably just three months after we started it (we had been together for almost two years before he moved).
So it seems like im just being young and stupid again. Do we really have a chance? Do you think a guy would wait 4 years to marry a woman? He says he wants to take care of me and that’s why he’s going to do it.
I love him, and I’m afraid of all this change. I really want us to work out. Any suggestions on how to keep a long distance relationship alive??
