Okay, so it started way back when we were 5 years old, ever since we locked eyes I have been in love! We have been "dating" off and on since kindergarten all the way through 8th grade, then once 9th grade came around he switched schools and we went our separate ways, but our paths would sometimes meet during school games against each other but we would never talk because we had a completely different group of friends.

Then my senior year of school we would "hook up" occasionally. Now we are both in college going to different schools of course both out of state. He is 600 miles away going for dentistry and me 600 miles away going for nursing. The very last time we talked was December of 2010, we were both home for Christmas break and he wanted to "hang out" but I declined because of my still boyfriend of 2 years.

The problem is I am still so deeply in love with him, I dream about him literally every night and I can't get him off my mind! What should I do? Because my heart is telling me he is my "soul mate" and my mind is telling me you have a boyfriend you can't just end things for some guy! Or maybe it is the opposite, I really don't know!

Please tell me what you think about this! Are we meant to be? HELP!

You have a boyfriend, and that's the situation you deal with first, before you take a risk and explore and experiment with some one else. The only way this is resolved is if you are single.

Or nothing good can happen. I mean what guy gets serious about a female that's taken already? That's cheating isn't it? And you guys are so far apart.

Do you think me and my childhood sweetheart could actually work out? Like are we possibly meant to be? I feel like maybe there are reason why we haven't lasted for so long. Maybe we are meant to be together but after we are ready to settle down and be finished with school and just be stable. You know?

That doesn't sound like that's going to happen anytime soon so why even dwell so much on it? None of us knows what's meant to be or what the future holds, but its not wise to have high hopes tied to some one like that.

I mean enjoy exploring the unknown and see what happens because no doubt you both will grow and change a lot in the next few years. Don't just wait for that kind of dream to come true, and miss the only chance at TODAY.

Let tomorrow, the future, take care of itself for now.
