lookin for some advice...

hi guys, i'm new here, and i would appreciate any advice. i'm in kind of a sticky situation. okay...i met this guy (who happens to be my best friend's brother). he lives in maine and i live in virginia. i met him about a month ago, he came down for a week. and a weekend before that. we've talked everyday, atleast once. we're absolutely craaaazy about each other. he has asked me to move up there with him. i really want to, but i don't know what i'm going to do. i've just graduated high school, i have all my family and friends down here, everything i've ever known. also, i am such a head, and he is a prison guard. crazy chit. but anyways...i'm just worried that my family will dissaprove or i might not be making the right descision. he told me that i need to make my own descision, not letting my family tell me what to do and stuff. i know my family and friends love me and care about me sooo much, but i really want to be with him. i'm just not sure what to do. sigh. okay any advice is appreciated
peace guys }{

 

first of all how old are you? second...are you sure he's what he seems to be?
third, if it feels right, i say go for it...if you are over 18 of course.

 

some people say trust your instincts or go with your heart but this is deciding your whole future. now just visit on vacations and stuff get to know each other more. you do not want to move in with someone who is like great before any thing serious then turns to sh*t after a while. my mom has made the mistake 3 times and we are living through this one. the guy was great i mean i even thought he was cool we got along great but then he just changed. there are some times when you can rush into it but my advise is take it a little slow, pray/meditate whatever you do, stay with him on vacations to see how he lives, meet his friends to know what kind of people he hangs out with etc. if he is the one i wish you luck that your family would like him and that he is truly what he seems.
