Liza takes on long distance relationships...of sorts.

Long time, no blog, my loves. Sorry about that. Graduate school and the holidays have been eating my life. Luckily Ms. Waters hasn't let this go completely to crap. :)

First of all I should explain that by "of sorts" I am referring to the fact that the long distance of this relationship is temporary. Winter break has forced one of us (me) back across the big Atlantic Ocean for a month.

Secondly I haven't had a chance to introduce a "new" character in the Liza Meadows story. He's not new, per se, being that we have been friends since my first week in the UK, but he has recently been upgraded in status. We started "seeing" each other a little less than 3 weeks before I left for home. Le Boy, as he shall be referred to-- he's French-- is now somewhat officially my boyfriend, as he has decided to use this term and I haven't felt the need to run away from it. 

I didn't think it would be so hard to be away from someone I had only been seeing for about 2.5 weeks. Then I realised that, for at least the last 1.5 months, we have seen each other every single day. It was weird for me not to see him, and skype didn't wholly solve this issue. However, my real problem is the way it's affecting him. He's a lot more upset by our separation. I absolutely miss him, and all the time, but he is legitimately saddened by the situation. I'm not sure how to handle this because I've never had a guy actually act like he was so into me. I feel bad when my response to his emotions (not that he's being crazy emotional or overly-sentimental-- don't think that's he's crying on skype or something) is a smile or something stupid. I've apparently not been overly-receptive to him a few times on skype. He said I seem annoyed that he wants to talk so much, but I don't mean to because I am more certainly not annoyed by him.

He's also missing certain activities involving the two of us-- if you get my drift-- and I don't feel comfortable remedying this via the internet. I've never been able to be sexy on the internet. I'm not entirely sure I can be sexy in person, but he seems to think so. I'm just not good at it online. I could just say "Listen, that's not going to happen. Stop trying." but I don't want to shut him down when we have almost 3 weeks until we see each other. Then again I'm not sure I'll be able to teach myself how to be good at this before those 3 weeks are up. It's a lose-lose situation. 

I just don't know how people do the long distance thing for real. It's been 2 weeks and if this was for more than a month, I would have already called it quits. It's just too hard.
