Ms. Sassy,
I'm afraid I've run into a problem in my love life. I've been dating the most wonderful guy on and off for almost two years now. But now that I'm away at college two hours away, I don't get to see him as often as I'd like, and that's starting to pose a slight problem. You see, I am what my friends like to call a 'contact whore,' meaning that I thrive on physical contact. It's always been relaxing and enjoyable to me to just go up to one of my friends and play with their hair, sit in their lap, or get a hug: sometimes all three. Now that I'm up here away from everyone who would do that normally, I'm starting to feel deprived.
And that's where the new guy comes in. I've met someone up here. He's sweet, he's nice, he's funny, he loves swing-dancing, and he gives the greatest hugs. So herein lies my problem. I'm starting to fall for him, and it's really not good. I still have my guy from back home, but the longer I'm away, the less attached I feel. And now that I know that I'm not going to see my guy for over a month is really starting to kill, because once I find something to fill a void, I tend to stick to it. Like the new guy up here. I like him, and I think he likes me, but I still like my guy from home. I just don't know what to do. -Confused

Confused,
A "contact whore?" That is some new terminology for me. I have never heard of that before but now that I know the term I can definitely say that I knew a couple growing up. Although, it seems to me that you're more of an "attention whore." You do whatever to make sure someone is giving you attention, hence all the "contact."
Now that that has been established, back to the problem at hand. You have a guy back home but due to all your shameless flirting have found yourself falling for a guy at school. You're young, you're in college stop tying yourself down to one guy. You're too young to have figured this out yet but long distance relationships don't last. Break things off with your guy from back home. Don't mention the new guy who has your eye, simply let him know that you think you guys should cool things off for awhile because the distance is taking its toll on you. Then you'll be free to explore things with the newbie, guilt free. Voilà! Ms. Sassy has solved your problems.
