I am a Puerto Rican in love with a girl from Kentucky. I'm a senior in high school. She graduated this year and is going to college in Philly. She was drum major her senior year, and now I am drum major. I was always there for her, as she was for me. When her white boyfriend got a little abusive with her on our band's trip to Disneyland, I was the one to separate the two of them so no one would get hurt. I'm in the Army Reserve and I'm a professional musician. But I just can't get past being her friend. I want to be much more. I just don't know how to go about the whole thing. Any advice would be appreciated.

If you really care for this girl then take the chance and let her know. I'd write a really nice letter and tell her just how you feel and where you'd like to see the relationship go in the future.
Yes you are taking a chance and she may not see you as boyfriend material but you never know unless you take that chance and either way you will know how she feels and can move on with your life either being in a relationship or knowing you'll have to find someone else to be that special person. You sound like a really great guy and I know it seems like the good guys always finish last when it comes to getting the girl but don't give up, it just takes some of us women awhile to get past the attratcion to the 'bad boys'

Thanks. Like I said, I really do love her. She's going to college in Philly. It's a 45-minute drive from our town. I think it should be easier for us to have a relationship now that she's not subject to her parents and under their roof.

Does that last comment about her parents indicate that they may have some reservations about you two being a couple? If so what would their concerns be?
Things are going to change really fast for this girl now that she is out of her parents home and on her own in the college setting. I hope she has a good level head on her shoulders as many kids tend to go a bit wild that first year or two away from home. Still write to her, of course you could call but it is easier to take your time and get what you want to say right when your writing and there is less embarrassment if things do not go the way you want in your heart. good luck

I don't know her parents too well, but well enough. It seems to me like the men of the family are the ones who hold the animosity. But they are a very conservative Christian family. She's not the type to go wild. Trust and believe I will visit her often and write as well.
