Basically I just need to get my ideas out and have someone comment on if they think she's serious about me based on how she's acting now. She's my bestfriend, but hell if she doesn't confuse me a lot. And I hate to say it because I have NO reason to think this way...but the thought has crossed my mind that she is only like this because of the uniform. I've heard stories of women trying to seduce Marines straight from Twentynine palms, but I'm on the fence as to whether or not that is happening.

Here are my reasons for thinking she knows what she's thinking.

We were friends before we dating.

I have no reason to not trust her, we've always been honest with each
other and have very good communication.

She tells me that ever since we started dating she's completely lost interest in guys, and I feel the same way about girls I see so I know what she means.

When I met her she was hell bent on being abstinent. She even broke up with a guy because he told her he bought condoms. She was abstinent for 18 years until one night she decided I was the one she wanted to lose it to. (and I must say, I made her go Oorah!)

I can tell she generally cares about me. From 5 hours away, she found a way to take care of me while I was down with the flu. She had her sister bring me books and movies and soup. Never had anyone do that for me before.

Now for why I'm worried.

I keep hearing about "Dear Johnny" letters from buddies stationed overseas. Letters saying that their girlfriends/fiancees/wives have found a friend or something more.

A year is a long time not to see someone, the 15 weeks of basic were hell enough... i can hardly imagine a year!

Maybe I'm over thinking it a little, but I'm worried. I've got a better girl than I could have hoped for and I don't want to lose her.
