<p>Has anyone had a long distance relationship, where say for example, they went to a community college and the other person went to a uc? How did things work out and what did you guys do to make it work out, if it even does work out in the first place?</p>
<p>Note: I'm asking this, because I fear my relationship will crumble with the person i'm with, and they'll be attracted to or drawn towards those at a uc.</p>
<p>Any advice, help, or comments is welcomed</p>
<p>I know someone from UCLA going out with someone in Berkeley.</p>
<p>Except they broke up after a couple of months ;)</p>
<p>Most relationships break up after high school.</p>
<p>most do crumble but not all, i've seen some moderately long distance (like elsewhere in so cal) so you can visit on weekends. there's no set formula or rule, it all depends on your relationship and how you committed both of you are.</p>

<p>i have a friend at ucsd and her bf is at community college (an hour apart) they have gotten closer than ever.
i have also seen relationships crumble. it all depends.</p>
<p>i know someone in UCSD who's dating someone at Cal...it's been almost two years now, possibly more.</p>
<p>i got a bud who goes here and got his girl back in new jersey</p>
<p>i know a chick who goes here and still talks to his boy back in cal</p>
<p>my friend from high school still does hot phone sex with her bf and he's still in the dirty dirty (that would be the south in case u didnt catch that). and she goes to SC</p>
<p>HOWEVER, i also know ppl who broke up two weeks into college.</p>
<p>Honestly, I think it really depends on you and your significant other. </p>
<p>You shouldn't always base your relationships on the relationships of others. Though it is true that many do not last, there are always those that pull through. </p>
<p>What happens, happens. One of the worst things to do is force something that isn't there rather than letting things happen the way they should. So though it may be difficult, try not to worry too much. You've got a lot of years ahead of you. =)</p>
<p>Countless threads in College Life about the topic. It's just not the LDR-status per se but the realization that you're in different stages in your lives, that the maturation process comes into play, and simply that you develop different priorities.</p>
<p>you can't possibly even know what you're going to want in 6 months. heck, maybe YOU will be the one wanting to discontinue the relationship for whatever reason.</p>
<p>just let your life play out the way it goes. or go visit the westwood psychic ;)</p>

<p>Hello,
I would like to share my story to cheer you guys up. Two abnd half years ago I was an exchange student in Virginia. I am from the Czech Republic, Europe. I met a girl exactly on december 24th 2005 over myspace.com. She was chzech citizen living in San Diego. She got accepted to UCLA in a class of 2010. I had to finish my high school in Czech Rep. (we have 13 grades plus I had to repaet the one I spent in the USA). I wanted to get into college nearher in two years(today). When I came back to the Czech republic and was the best in my grade, helped children to get education (educateworld.cz</a> / o projektu) and I got into UCLA this fall. After two years of flying to California (she visited me in Czech as well) our dream became true. I admit it was hard to see each other every two- three months, and you will need a lot strenght. But it is doable and the rewards are just great. I never forget the time I found out I got into UCLA and all I have worked for last two years was there..... My dream became true... Yours can too... it is solely up to you and your gf.</p>

<p>Wow that's a great story Jakub. I'm really happy to hear about a successful long distance relationship :)</p>
<p>99.9999999% of HS sweethearts break up within months of college. I literally know only one couple who stood together and was married out of EVERY person I knew.</p>
<p>I think it does depend on the relationship and those involved in the relationship in order to determine whether or not they'll stick it through a loing distance relationship. For me, my highschool boyfriend and I definitely didn't even make it past me going to UCLA's orientation in fact, the day I got home from orientation we broke up. For us, our break up was mostly attributed to the fact that we both weren't entirely into it, regardless of the fact that he still had another year of HS left and had no intention of continuing on to college after graduation. But, at the same time, I do know a few couples from high school that are still together but at different colleges (he's at Cal, while she's at CSUN.) And they've been doing that for four years!! </p>
<p>I do understand that fear and uncertainty about LDRs though. Come this June, I'll actually be back in a similar, if not the same, position as I was at the end of high school. I'm leaving for grad school and my current b/f is staying here in Westwood for his job. But, I think honestly, if you really want things to work out, it all depends on level of commitment to your relationship. If you want it to make it work, it will. If you don't want to make it work, it won't.</p>
<p>I believe in long term relationships, cuz i'm in one.
By bf goes to cal and i'm 2 hrs away from him; we're so busy we only see each other once in 2 months. but getting stronger.;] </p>
<p>My friend's bro married his high school sweetheart just now. Her bro went to cal and she went to ucsd. </p>
<p>It takes a lot of commitment to be in a long distance relationship, and if that person is meant for you, he/she will NOT cheat. Just talk everyday on phone/ skype, anything to keep in contact with each other.</p>
<p>^ agreed. I hope everything works out for you both!</p>
<p>Silly, I think we know the same person.</p>
<p>ive had friends who broke up right away.
my two best friends are still with their hs boyfriends and going strong after nearly one school year apart.
my sister and her boyfriend stayed together 2 years in a longdistance relationship.</p>
<p>it all depends(!!!) on the specific couple.</p>
