Need Advice

[RFS20]

I was dating this girl for 2 years. We were great together but the last few months were long distance-hour and a half. Its been 2 months since we broke up- mostly because of distance and not making enough time to see her. I cut off contact until a few weeks ago because i didn't want to be desperate and wanted to let her miss me, which she did. She told me this through a few text messages. However, she was still resistant to the idea of seeing each other because she was not emotionally ready and did not want to rush back in- to which i agreed, we should take it slow. Last week I was down in her neighborhood for work and we got dinner, drinks, and spent the night together. Right away we rekindled everything it was clear we really care for each other. Since then everything has been great. Then last night she told me she felt we were going too fast and there was no in-between for us, we cant just see each other and act like friends because of our feelings for one another. She also said she thinks she should just focus on school and work right now. Basically what I am asking is-what should i do now? I support her idea of going to school, I am in grad school/ working full time myself and I understand that our schedules will be constrained, I just believe that if you love someone enough you make it work. In the end it will pay off in the long run and your relationship will be stronger if you can go through something like that. How can I convince her of that? Please tell me what to do.

Also, it should be noted that in a few months our distance will only be 30 min. from each other. She will be in Manhattan and I will be in the Bronx.

I appreciate all the advice i can get.

Yes, it is true if you two people love each other enough they can make anything work. The problem is, she must want to make it work just as bad as you do. She doesn't. She wants to focus on school and her future, sounds like she has her priorities straight. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like you're part of them.

Honestly, all you can do is let her go. If she comes back to you, I guess it was meant to be. That is, if you still have feelings for her after all this is over. If not, oh well. You'll find someone new.
