Dear Kristin, firstly, always remember that your parents love you, and only want the best for you. While you may easily be able to sustain a long distance relationship, in my experience, men very often cannot. If you are both equally wanting to commit to this relationship, one of you will need to move. If this guy really loves you as much as you love him, let him prove it by moving to be closer to you. Relationships are give and take, do not let the scales tip one way. Good luck sweetheart.
