I'm sorry Kelsey, I just read this. I am also young and have been with my bf for almost 2 yrs. The best advice i can give is that when he calls do not always pick up. Guys like to feel like you are a challenge, even if you are going aout they still like to do work to get to you, so don't ALWAYS pick up his phone calls but do pick up sometimes. Even when you want to really bad it's just good not to. I do that to my bf, sometimes even if im not busy i will tell him i am and say i will call you back or call me back i can't talk

I know it's evil but really it works. Guys don't always want you to be available cause then they will take advantage of that. Also tell him you are going out with friends, doing something, going to the movies and you will have him on his toes

And def. do go out more, take the dogs out for long walks, meet more ppl, including guys, you deserve it and you will spend less time worrying about him and when he will call. Long Distance relationships are tough but they can work if you really want it to.
