Would you get into a relationship, With a soldier going to Iraq?? Options

[*icecreamisyummy*]

So this guy ive been talking to has asked me to be his gf twice now. the first time i said no, because i hadn't seen him in a while. Now he jsut found out he'll be sent back to Iraq in about 2 weeks and asked to be my bf again...but in much serious terms. I really do like him and he really likes me. My best friend is against it and doesnt want me doing it because of the emotional impact it will cause.

now the other problem is, i just got otu of a serious relationship about a month or so ago. me and my ex still hang out* and what not. we both love one another, but we've had our issues and he said theres no chance between us now after what happened this past weekend. in a way i wanna believe him, but idk if he's being serious or not... i mean, he keeps showing up at my house he keeps calling.

so do i get into a relationship with someone who will be able to give me everythign and treat me how i should be treated, after he gets bck from iraq, or do i just sit around waiting for the guy i love to come to his senses?

of course theres more to all this but i dont want to bore you guys.

soldier does know about the whole ex situation. idk the thing with him is... when he gets back, he prettymuch wants to start a family, and thats hard for me to do im only 18....he's 25 ( i have a topic about this on this board) he says he's willing to pa for my college education (he obviosuly has the money) and blah blah blah. idk if i want to settle down with someone i think i like, i mean im sure that bby the tiem he gets back (may-june) ill have stronger feelings, but right now, i dont.

but then there's the whole, if you have the opportunity, why not take it.. well like why would i wanna give that up, you know, someone who actaully does care and the word marriage and kids doesnt scare them off. idk im a bit confused.

Wow, your in a bit of a state =/
I say drop both of them and get a hunky football player.

ACTUALLY, i havent talked to the ex or soldie since tuesday, and hung out with a friend i havent done so. turns out we're both into each other, well at the moment is more physical for me, he's starting to actaully like me like me. he's really cool though, he's not a football player, but he does skate lol. he's a good guy over all.

so i think i might just stick with the skater lol. we'll see what happens in the next week or two. ill keep ya'll posted :-D
