overseas relationship?
2 people met on an overseas conference and went out for a couple of days. The female is 23 years and the male is 20. Both are from different european countries. The female has finished her studies, has a steady job with a good status, and wants to continue their relationship. THe male is still studying with 2 and a half years left to go. Although he likes her, he doesnt know what he wants. He is unsure about how serious this relationship should be. She is willing to come for a holiday in his country. He is worried that the relationship might affect him emotionally as he doubts that it can be real. Such relationships only happen in movies. He is also worried that it may affect his academic studies. He is very interested in her but doesnt know to what level of seriousness he should take this. Should the relationship be delayed till he finishes his studies so his life is more steady and sure. Frankly, I'm not sure what I should tell him. Could anyone suggest anything?

- tricky, tricky, sounds like the girl is much more into it then the guy is. Long distance relationships are hard, you need alot of patience and trust, it doesn't sound like the guy has the maturity to handle it at this stage of his life.
- The fact that is not done his studying is not what I would worry about but the fact that they live in different countries is the problem. That's what needs to be fixed. If that can be then a relationship can happen.
- maybe he should give it a try... or talk with his parents/counsellors see what they think..
