Hi doodlebug; infact yourself and the other opinions here just might be the thing I need to help me. I'm in Kent and my boyf whom I met on a plane coming back from Italy(!)lives in Suffolk. We've known each other for 2 years come October. We went out in October 2002 - but I ended it 6 months later as the distance was too much (it's only 2 hours drive for him, but it's long enough when you feel the way I do). We chatted on the ohone and did not meet again until April this year. We felt really close and went the furthest we had ever gone before. Now 3 months later I feel the same worry and panick I had before. He says he feels much more for me this time than a year and a half ago, but regards to laurentwinks questions - my answers to the last two are yes. I hate to say it (I meant No.3), but I get so jealous when he mentions his other friends (most of them sre female). The reason why I worry is because I feel that while I am here, they may try stabbing their claws into him. I've never been to Suffolk - next August Bank Holiday - but I do worry about him loosing his feelings and moving on. I feel so much for him, and so this is the only reason i can give for my anxieties...what does everyone else think??
