Dear Panel,

I desperately need some advice and I hope you are willing to help me.  I have been talking to this girl I met for about 9 months now.  I have been unable to be with her because she has severe family problems. During this period I have fallen for her.  She is the first and only girl I have ever fallen for.  Earlier in the week we had a discussion where she told me she can't see me anytime soon, and she doesn't know when she will be able too.  She left me with about a week to make a tough decision. 

What am I going to do?  I have thought of 3 possible things I could do, but I hate all of them.  They are 1) Move on.  2) Continue being her friend and wait until someday when she can be with me.  3)  Try to have a long-distance relationship until someday we can have a real relationship.  Are there any other things I can do?  What should I do?  Please help I'm hurt and confused.  Thanks.
