<p>For all of those who are leaving for college or have a significant other leaving for college or both, are you keeping with the romantic ideal that distance can never separate you or are you two mutually breaking up?</p>
<p>And while we're on the subject, will where your current sweetie goes influence where you're going to end up?</p>
<p>my boyfriend goes to school in town. it's a good school, but not for me. i hate pensacola, so i'm leaving asap.</p>
<p>we're breaking up. he's already in college and understands that i'll be meeting so many new people, so he doesnt want to hold me back.</p>
<p>we've been dating for 9 1/2 months.</p>
<p>This is a good question. My girlfriend and I are both high school seniors, and I'm going to school in California and she's going to an east coast school. We talked about it and decided that we'll most likely break it off before college...the whole long-distance relationship thing would probably be too much trouble to put up with.</p>
<p>I love how rational "young adults" are.</p>
<p>Long distance relationships are hard.</p>
<p>It does make me wonder though, where are the hopeless romantics?</p>
<p>Meh.
One decided to break up and then has sex with people at college
The other say they will stay together and then has sex with people at college</p>
<p>Either way, it ends up with the walk of shame back to the dorm.</p>
<p>I find this personally funny because I am still a junior. Whateva</p>
<p>Mine refuses to talk about it with me...but I think it'll be over as I'll be anywhere from 10-15 hours away.</p>
<p>Don't know for sure yet but we're actually moving closer to each other when we go to college. (From ~30 minutes to ~15 minutes)</p>
<p>We've talked about it a little bit but generally agreed to try and keep something going. We're likely to be quite far apart, I'll be in North Carolina and he could be any number of places, the closest of which being Virginia. Hopefully we can make it work. If not, then I guess it wasn't meant to be.</p>
<p>most likely breaking it off.
even though we'll only be 1 hr away
and we're 45 now.
I just don't see him taking the train to see me
it would be totally one sided</p>
<p>Hmm, my boyfriend already goes to college, in the city. He told me that he sacrificed all his other college acceptances just so he could stay at school here so we could get closer. Most of the schools I applied to are in the city, and there's a huge possibility that I'll stay here too anyways.
So, we're most likely staying together.</p>
<p>My boyfriend is at my top choice college, quite conveniently. So instead of being five hours from him as I am now, I will be, at most, ten minutes from him. And no, my college decision was not affected by him.</p>

That's definitely a bad reason to make such a decision.</p>
<p>Well, since I started this thread, I might as well contribute.</p>
<p>My boyfriend and I just recently ended because of distance. We tried and it was just incredibly too hard. No regrets though.</p>
<p>Don't you find it interesting that with the exception of Jimmyeatworld and maybe austin and whoever else I missed, it seems like only girls are replying to this thread? haha</p>
<p>i'm a high school senior, and i'm really close to starting a relationship with this guy in my school that i've been talking to for a while, but i'm afraid that it might turn into a serious relationship, and i'd just have to break it off in half a hear anyway when i move to college. so i don't know if it's worth it because i don't want either of us to be heartbroken. maybe we'll just be really close friends without becoming boyfriend/girlfriend?</p>
<p>By "close friends," do you mean "friends with benefits?"</p>
<p>Well, just coming out of a long distance relationship, I'd advise against getting attached on a romantic level. However, ultimately, it's all about you and what you're go through and sacrafice.</p>
<p>Good luck Squiggle88!</p>
<p>Well this semester i have had some friends with benefits but nothing serious enough to develop. Im waiting to find my true love(is there such a thing?) in college I suppose, until then making out with a girl every weekend with no strings attached is fine for me.</p>
<p>P.I.M.P.</p>
<p>I kid. True love could be under your noseliterally. Any one of those girls you're making out with could be "the one," if you believe in fate, of course.</p>
<p>thanks, sneezy. i was thinking on a regular "close friends" level just because the less there is to miss about him the better i think</p>

<p>Well, it seems to have worked out for us. We have gotten closer and love each other a lot. So, even though it was a big risk and chance that he took, it is working for us.</p>
<p>My boyfriend started his freshman year in college this year. We're used to being apart - he lives in Cinci, I live in Dayton, so we've always been about 45 minutes apart. Now, he's at the uni in cinci, so we're an hour. In high school, he always came up to see me since he had his license. Now, I drive down to see him. </p>
<p>We're staying together. If I get into my first choice, I'll be in Washington, D.C. - pretty far away. If I don't get in, then I'm going to uni in Dayton, so we'll still be pretty close, it'll just add another 15 minutes to the drive. It won't be bad since I can easily get my car at my parents to see him, and he'll be a sophomore and can have his car next year, too. </p>
<p>We're staying together regardless. We've been through far too much together, plus we're both too stubborn to call it quits. :P Two years on March 31, woot!</p>
