Uhhh...

	I have to put in something here. Ask yourself if you really think you
are going to find the kind of relationship you want from someone who hasn't
even graduated from HS yet? I am not saying that you won't, but the chances of
it happening are rather unlikely simply because the females in HS tend to be
rather superficial in their outlook on the world (this is based on my own
experiences). 

	I have had better experience with females who were closer to my own age
and then if they were in college. I am 20 and a 3rd yr college student. My SO
is also 20 and in her second year. This is a LDR (she is in Minnesota and I am
in Indiana) I haven't been this happy ever and the simple reason is we both
communicate and have a mature sensible outlook on the world which doesn't rely
upon the "Oh, I'm so in love" line. Rather, we find many other things to share
besides our attraction to one another. IT is the other things we share *in
addition* to the feelings we have for one another that keeps this relationship
going. Now, I would find it hard to believe that you could get the same things
with a 16-17 yr old. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I don't see it as
being very likely.
        
	Just my 2 cents worth :-)
