sailor,
I honestly think it depends on how deep your relationship is on an emotional and mental level. I'm not asking if you're in love, but how good is your friendship?
I'm in a long-distance relationship (800-and some miles) with majik_6. We met online (on a body modification website), and we're strictly friends for like 8 months...actually, we barely spoke, but had a mutual friend. We were both dating other people, and then I went away to sleepaway camp. Then, in July, my ex-bf died in a car accident. After I posted that, he started texting my cell, and sent me a letter.
When I came home, we started talking on the phone, pretty much for anywhere between 4 and 10 hours a day, every day. We became really great friends, and then in December, I broke up with my bf at the time. Majik invited me down for New Year's, and everything changed. In February, he proposed. Today, we've been engaged for 4 months, and everything's great.
Keep in mind, he lives in West Virginia, and I live in Quebec, so we have to deal with a lot of the issues that you'd be dealing with.
My advice to you is this: why not try it?
If it fails, you won't have her in your life, but if you don't, you won't have her anyway.
Yes, a year is a long time; yes, you're both young (then again, so are we), but think of it this way: if you can last through this, you're a strong couple who can make it through anything. If the only reason why you'd want to end it is to be able to "sow your wild oats", then you're not in it for the long haul anyway.
If that was truly the case, though, you wouldn't be asking what you should do.
If you need anything, or want to talk some more, feel free to PM or e-mail me.
