    So, as a kid I moved around a lot because my dad was Air Force. I was so heartbroken to leave my friends over and over that at one point I decided to just not let people under my skin. It was just away to keep myself from losing people. Silly now, but at the time it seemed natural.

    At this point I met Matthew in a Senior English class and right-off the bat I fell in love with him. Every bit of him. He was the smart and funny, casual. He was perfect and in hind site I know he liked me. We got along great, he was nice to me and told me how great my papers were. He opened up and I was too afraid to loose him, knowing that my parents divorce meant me moving yet again. My parents were a wreck and made life hell at home. I wasn’t well enough I guess to really make the effort to… make something out of us. Who knows… Maybe I’m making more out of it than I should, but I keep coming back to him in my mind. I just wish I could have given it a shot. I keep imagining how sick I would feel to see him marry someone.

    Now he’s going to a college in Virginia and is going in to the Air force after that. I am going to have to transfer to a University this year and I’ve actually considered the college where he is. Do you think I’ll even have a chance? I don’t know if he even remembers me. I was so distant then. I was thinking about friending him on Facebook but…maybe I was just a class friend who he liked.

    Your history of anxiety around transition is causing you to look for something or someone you think is “safe” and he’s not that that safety net, even though you may think he is. You are your own safety net because you’ve weathered lots of change with discomfort, but success.

    You’re feeling lonely and you want a relationship, so your mind is scanning for anyone who’s a possibility. The problem is, this guy is a distant possibility. While there is always a chance that someone from high school you haven’t kept in touch with, but harbored a crush for, may be available and interested, the odds are slim, and while it’s fine to get in touch with him in a flirtatious and friendly way, it isn’t a good idea to bet your future college choice and next home base on him. So, don’t choose a college just because your crush goes to school nearby. Instead, focus on your future goals — whether they’re educational, career, or relationship, and then be realistic. Pick the best school and city for your goals, and start focusing on having a relationship with someone who is Mr. Right — not necessarily, someone you crushed on a long time ago who hasn’t been in your life since then. He can be one of the people you’re interested in, but don’t put all your eggs in that basket. 😉 .
