I'm in love with a girl from a different college...

<p>She's too far away. Forget about her and find another girl. You'll probably be deeply in love with the next attractive girl that gives you some attention.</p>

What other things should I do or not do? By the way, I've actually met her in real life. We went to the mall together but I'm not sure if that counts as a date.

<p>Doesn't sound like it was a date, sounds like you two just hung out.</p>

<p>I'd hold off on a relationship with this gal. LDR are difficult, especially if you don't quite know them before the LDR. It's different with long term high school relationships that continue into college, because the two individuals have already experienced any disagreements or fights and are past their infatuation period. They already understand how compatible they are to each other. However, this girl is so far away that you two won't get the chance to test the relationship by fighting face to face or seeing each other's flaws.</p>

<p>It is possible to have a successful LDR that's long-distance from the start. My girlfriend and I lived 250 miles away from one another when we first started dating, and stayed long-distance until we'd been dating almost a year and a half. We live together now, and things are still really great. It did make a difference that we were able to see one another 1-2 weekends a month, and spend longer chunks of time together on our breaks from work/school, but we were able to get to know one another and test our compatibility pretty well despite the distance.</p>

<p>This situation is sending up all kinds of red flags, though. You're "in love" but you barely know her? You're talking about transferring? No. Stay where you are if you're happy there, and if you're transferring make the decision based on what works for you, not what will facilitate a hypothetical relationship. I'm not saying things will just happen magically if they're "meant to be"--sometimes you have to work hard to create meant to be--but you're not at the point where you should be making major life decisions based on her. So get to know her naturally, see her if/when you can, and see where things go... while thinking carefully about whether a long-distance relationship will give you what you want and is something you want to get into.</p>

<p>well she would date you if this wasn't a troll post</p>

<p>forget it, its hard to accept but this kind of thing doesn't really last. It might go as long as a couple of months to a year but after that you guys will move on. Maybe the girl will move on before you. Dont pick a college in accordance to the college she's going to, that's just throwing your dreams away for a girl that wont last. You'll meet other girls in college, trust me, and the closer they are the better you get to know them, and like them.</p>
