Hello AskTRP,

I need a no-nonsense assessment of my plans for the next five months. The situation is as follows:

I'm going to be a freshman in college this coming fall. I met this particular girl in April on my college visit/overnight. We hit it off, hooked up. Good shit.

Fast forward 4 months to now; she met me in NYC on Monday, and I took her to my apartment and smashed for a good couple of hours. We have good chemistry, like we've known each other for years.

I wont see her for another 5 months, however. My school is sending me abroad for the first semester of college (with others from my class). She lives on the opposite side of the country as well.

Obviously I will be gaming overseas. I know I need to stave off any signs of oneitis (I can feel it creeping in already). She has been ideal, thus far. We text and call each other regularly, and I've held a dominant frame with her throughout.

I told her that I would be playing the field while we were apart (didn't want to lie), and she seemed off-put by that for a moment.

My question then, is this: What level of contact is appropriate for us? I want to have a relationship with her when I get back - again, the chemistry is amazing between us (she said it first, too). I don't want to fold, though, because that WILL fuck me over in the long term.

What do y'all think?
