<p>Alright, so I got this crush on one of my friends. We go to different schools, but went to middle school together. I go to an all-boys Catholic school and she goes to the local public school. I don't get to see her very often and just saw her recently and was BLOWN AWAY. I know she's single, but I'm not sure if she likes me, but I'm taking a shot anyway. The thing is we are both going to be seniors and it is VERY unlikely that we will be going to the same college. I don't want to go out with her, just to become extremely attached to her and then have to leave her. I've heard that long distance relationships rarely work with two college students. I really like her, but I don't want to have to leave her if I end up really liking her. I guess this is one of those is it better to be loved and lose it than to never be loved at all? lol, just looking for some advice. TY.</p>
<p>I'd say just go for it. A year is a pretty long time and people tend to change/grow up a lot during senior yr so you two could go out for a while, break up, etc</p>
<p>It's better to just try it and see what happens than not trying and never knowing. If you two stay together for the year then you can decide whether the long distance thing is worth it</p>
<p>What are the chances that a high school relationship will survive a year anyway? It's good that you're not going into this thinking you'll end up marrying your high school sweetheart. Go for it, have fun, and when you break up, make sure there are no hard feelings.</p>
<p>That was my mentality when I started dating my boyfriend a few months ago. I'd say it's a good one.</p>
<p>My girlfriend lives in florida i live in maryland..we have been together for a year tomorrow. How we've survived? crazy but i guess its love. The longest i didnt see her was for 7 months (august to february)..we will be going to Penn together :)
We survived our senior year apart and still survive being 1300 miles apart. It can be done but it is rare</p>
<p>Holy crap, haithman. That's impressive. I hope things go well for you.</p>
<p>lol thanks alot. it has been the most amazing year of my life and the hardest thing that i have EVER done. but i hope it goes well and hopefully the next 4 years are even better! :)</p>
<p>I say you give up on that nonsense crap. Just work hard, get an education higher than just 4 year bachelor's, and make big money and then invest it and make more money. Then, worry about who you want to marry and such. Of course, I'm in no position of authority as I'm younger than you LOL but I think this is a smarter way to do things.</p>
<p>"In this country, first you get the money, then you get the power, THEN you get the woman."</p>
<p>go for the girl. there's no point being miserable because you're always wondering what could have happened. just ask her out! if she says no, oh well, you tried. i have been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years and i wouldn't change a thing :)</p>
<p>Thanks, everybody. Yea, I'm definitely gonna ask her out, I just have to work out a time to see her. I kind of cheated though by using her 2 cousins (6th and 5th grade boys). I was hella nice to them at this bball camp, and they asked me if I thought their cousin was hot. I was like "hell yea." They were like "oooooooo, we're gonna tell her." So they told her in the car, while she drove them home. </p>
<p>As for bloodandiron and gstein, I'm not looking for a "trophy-wife," nor a ton of power. That's why I like this girl so much, she's really down to earth, super-cute (but not a bombshell), everything just feels just right. I'd rather be with a cute down-to-earth girl making $60,000/yr, than be with some high-maintainence model, making $500,000/yr. I want a normal life, not a life driven by money. SOOO many other things make me SOOO much happier.</p>
<p>I was just joking around in response to blood's post. Incase you didn't know why I had quotations around the sentence, that's what Scarface's advice was on women. It wasn't meant to be the least bit serious.</p>

<p>Oh my bad.</p>
<p>Good luck and tell us how it goes.</p>
<p>I'm not saying you should make a ton of money, I'm saying you should either educate yourself if you're prudent or do whatever the **** you want if you're wild while you still have the freedom, and then choose a soulmate later if it's to your liking.</p>
<p>I hate when guys get that mindset at the beginning of senior year, because then those of us who broke up with someone mid-junior year don't have anyone asking us out when we're ready to go out and have fun again</p>
<p>bloodandiron i hear what your saying but i wouldnt say that it's "nonsense crap"..thats a bit hard. It is hard, i know, but it is possible and in the end if you are meant to be then you will be.</p>
<p>why not just go for it? sure, it might not last, but a year of happiness is good too! you dont seem to be harboring any illusions about the thing, so go ahead. just dont do anything drastic.</p>
<p>hmm... well i was a junior and my exbf a senior.. we dated for one year and about 3 months. he wanted me to go to the school he's going to next year (since he's going this fall)... and i didn't want to... well, that was the end of our relationship. i dunno, we weren't really "long distance" but we were going to be. and well, it never got there so i suppose that's better.</p>
<p>x3rose, you don't want a guy who's going to tell you how to live your life anyway.</p>

So ask them out. Duh.</p>
<p>lol, i know. that's why i broke up w/ him. there are much better guys out there anyways. he's like "i want a housewife". and his best friend who knows me somewhat well said, "that isn't gonna happen." there is no way i'm going to college and then becoming a housewife. i may as well drop out of high school now.</p>
