For serious, relationships never really work out in high school like you want them to. I had to write an essay for an english exam two weeks ago about true love and romantic love in relation to the characters in A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Taming of the Shrew. True love is about wanting the other person's good, whilst romantic love is about wanting the other person. Petruchio and Kate are the best example of true love and Lysander and Hermia are the best example of romantic love. All high school relationships consist of is going to dances, sneaking out after your parents are asleep to go to a party, and making out for hours. I laugh at the many I see saying that one day they'll get married. It's really hard when you see a relationship that won't last at all, especially if it happens to be your best friend or someone close to you.
The whole point of this is that, at your age, relationships are inherantly hollow and doomed to fail from the beginning, though it does help if both of you are on the same intellectual level, like I and my girlfriend, whom still lives in Virginia. I call her about every month, but it really isn't that serious. She's just one of my friends I really like to keep in contact with since I've moved.
Just be friends, really. If you can be friends with someone without having to date them, that's a really good sign.
