Q: Are the feelings real?

okay so, I met my girlfriend on holiday (vacation), our parents bumped into eachother and were glad to see another british family, thats how i met her, after 2 days of just swimming around the pool and snorkling in the sea i made my move and slowly we got closer and closer, we spent around 14 hours a day together for 12 days and not once did we have an argument or get bored of eachother, the day came when we had to depart and go our separate ways, we were on the same plane going back to england and my brother swapped seats with her so we could be together, we just cuddled most of the way home cos we didnt want to leave eachother, we got off of the plane and after an hour of getting luggage and whatever we both went home, she lives 4 hours drive away from me so it was a very difficult situation, i got home from the airport and couldnt stop thinking about her, i missed her so damn much and wanted her to be in my arms all the time, we talked on the phone and over msn and i feel like im burning up inside, after 3 days of not seeing eachother we arranged that i go to see her and stay there for 4 days, we got back from holiday on the saturday and i left to go see her the following wednesday, eventually got there after some hours of travelling and i felt like i could fly when i saw her, this time we spent about 22 hours together a day cos i slept in her bed (her mum didnt allow it but i sneaked in anyway), after 3 days i wanted to tell her how i thought i feel, lying in bed with her i wanted to tell her and she knew i was acting weird, after about a few times i said "i think i am....." then i'd just not say anything, but after 2 hours i eventually said "i think i am falling for you" and she said she feels the same for me as well and we had a long affectionate cuddle, the day i went home she went with me to the train station and we were just standing there not saying anything, cos we pretty much knew if we tried to talk our voice would crackle and would cry lol, my train came up on the board and gave her 1 last kiss and walked away, i hate the look on her face when i was leaving, it was a sad puppy-eye look and it killed me inside, as i was walking away i could have EASILY cried but i managed to hold it back, im not sure if she cried cos i had got on the train, she immediately texted me saying she misses me already etc etc, now i miss her even more and i cant go over to see her on weekends because i work long hours on saturdays and sundays, i only managed to get a few days off thats how i went to see her, and on top of that i missed 5 shifts being abroad, so i cant ask for any more days off, and i cant see her on week days because we both have college, it goes through my mind if i should quit my job so i can see her every weekend but then i think that if i carry on working and soon im gonna pass my driving test, i have a car but need to buy insurance which is like.... £800, so i can either quit my job and pay £40 for the train there and back, then eventually run out of money, or i can carry on working, missing her, pass my driving test, buy insurance and get there in 2 hours and see her quite often

so i have a few questions on what i should do....
- should i quit my job, go there on weekends and let our love unfold?
- keep my job, be patient, start driving and see her every every 2 or 3 weeks?
- not be patient and just grab my car keys and drive there as often as possible?
- stop thinking that i love her when i am only young and dont know what love actually is?
- take my time with things, dont look too desperate?
- leave her and break both of our hearts?

just some questions that need to be answered, and do you actually think i am in love? cos i have only known her for 1 month now but it feels so reeeeaaaal

thanks in advance for reading, i know its a long story but im very curious to what path i should take!

Keep your job hun...you don't want to give that up should something in your relationship change. Keep close contact, visit when you can...see how it progresses.

keep your job, be patient and just see her every 2-3 weeks if you can..my boyfriend and i had a long distance relationship for 8 months(2 months after we started dating) since i was 5 hours away in college..i only got to see him every 3 weeks when i came home...it worked...it can work if you both want it to work...it will be hard, yes..but if you both want it..then things will be fine

RE: are the feelings real?
I'd say if you really like her and want a long term relationship then i think nid be best for you to continue studying and learning to drive. it seems the hardest decision on your relationship but once your studies have finished and you've learnt to drive then you can see her when you want. It would also help you see whats going to happen in the future, because if she really likes you, then she will accept that driving and education are important for you and wait.
Should you decide to quit your job to see her more often, you may soon find out that its not going to work out, with no girlfriend, no job, no qualifications, no drivers liscence. At least the other option leaves something to fall back onto should it not work out.
Whatever you decide, i wish you all the best
