<p>Well, here's the skinny: I'm going to Penn no matter what in the fall, with no relationship. HOWEVER, I am in love with this girl and we should be together, but it would only last during the time I am still here in Texas. She says she would be fine with cutting it off but I don't want her to hurt too bad, although this is half her choice.</p>
<p>Would it make me an ass to just make the best of a relationship while I am here and leave for college in a clean slate? Or should I not bother?</p>
<p>It really depends. She's lying when she says it's fine, but who knows? You could go out and realize that you're really not right for each other. But if you break it off now, you'll always wonder what could've happened. </p>
<p>I know this no help, but good luck either way.</p>
<p>That's similar to what I'm doing. My boyfriend and I are set to break up at the end of this coming summer (going to different colleges), but that hasn't stopped us from having a fulfilling relationship through the rest of the year. I say that if you really care about this girl, and she is okay with the timing issue, go for it!</p>
<p>And Nick, we would be 1500 miles away in totally new settings, and I feel we both deserve the college life on a clean slate with no worries. Long distance relationships don't work and I know they wouldn't for us, so why take on that stress? I am mature enough to accept an ending and the obstacles that block a long, long relationship.</p>
<p>Lol I know they can work too, I have pals in long distance ones, but I mean this is a massive change for both of us, but who knows what tune I will be singing come fall.</p>
<p>ROFL, if you have to ask these kind of questions on the forum. I mean, not yourself, your pastor, your close friends or other close people. But no, if you have to ask these kind of questions before thousands of people you don't even know then you should break-up because your relationship isn't worth crap:)</p>
<p>Go for it, and if you don't feel that a long-distance relationship would work, just break it off and try the cheesy "let's just be friends" thing.</p>
<p>One of my friends had a really really good high school relationship and he kept his girlfriend... She was across the WORLD during their freshman year and now he's a sophomore and they're still dating. So it can work out.</p>
