Advice on long distance relationships? please?

my boyfriend got into this really great college. and i am so so so happy for him. he has worked so hard for it. it is really hard though because its two hours away (ok, not that bad..it could definately be worse), but next year i will be a senior in high school, and the year after that i will be going to college.. most likely somewher further away than two hours from where he is. i have searched for colleges near his but i have found none of interest with my major. it may be a little premature.. but we have talked about it alot, and i think if we can stay together through the next five years i think we want to have a life together. i know it sounds silly for someone in high school to say that, but thats really how we strongly we feel about each other, call me a naive teenager..but what can i say.. but anyways, i just want advice on how we can make it work, because i really want to, and we are both scared that it wont work. so.. help, please?Advice on long distance relationships? please?
Honey...you're a naive teenager. I believe that you two are in love and feel strongly about each other; however, you are young and distance has a way of changing even the strongest relationships. You both are going to be experiencing life and having a whole lot of fun. Absence doesn't always make the heart grow fonder. I wish you both the best of luck.Advice on long distance relationships? please?
Just know it is the woman's job to follow her man wherever he may go. The song is true. Maybe you don't need to go to college and you two can get married and you can live with him. Its less important for women to go to college since they are the ones having the babies and are supposed to stay at home taking care of them.
the way to keep the relationship close is to always be truthful with each other. if either of you is tempted to go out with others, you need to be able to discuss that freely with each other. you are both going to meet people different from any you have met before, and with that comes a reassessment of life goals. maybe it will lead you apart, and maybe it will bring you closer together; but the key to the outcome is to be truthful.
do not change your plans because of where he is going to college.


chances are you will break up by Christmas break of his first year away. if you are meant to be together you will meet up again ...later on, sometime, when you least expect it.





there is a whole world out there waiting for you. so enjoy and dont stress about stuff that is months or years away.
You have alot of yrs to grow up, so i would not be planning my education around him. No offense, but he is in college and most likely will want an older gf soon enough.
No need to read. They don't work. Toomuch work involved to make them last.
it is really hard to make it work





i'm sure it is not impossible
ok, me and my bf did this last year and are goin to this year. i went to a college that is 4 hours away from my town, which where he stayed and went to a college. It was extremely rough. It takes a lot of dedication and commitment to do. The most important factor is communication. you need to communicate at least a couple times a week. Otherwise everything just falls apart. And you both have to be confident about this working. Otherwise you guys will let the insecurity rip you two apart. But it is possible to make it work. Me and my bf did. and we are going on 2 years and 7 months.
have you ever heard of wanting something so bad that you ruin it for that reason? Why do you think that if you have all this love about you and that he is Mr. Right, that things are not going to work out? It is interesting that the ones who say all those things are so concerned about being apart. If it is all you say it is in your love department, then why do you feel it's not going to work? That is such a contradiction of ';facts';, but you young people always seem to have it. Can you please explain it to me?
My advice for you is to apply to every college that you have interest in, no matter where it is and then go to the best one that accepts you. You only have one very short time period in life where you live alone, meaning away from your parents and siblings and away from a husband and kids. Please don't rush this time away. You have some great years ahead.





You can talk to him on the phone every day (I recommend you use the same phone company so you don't have to worry about minutes). You can drive/or fly to see him every month depending on how far away he is. At the same time, you can live your own life. You will be both be able to share with each other all the great things that are happening to you, the good times, the new friends you are meeting. You'll still be close, even though you only talk by phone.





If you guys are supposed to be together, trust me, it'll happen. A few hours apart or even 10-12 hours apart isn't going to change love. If you approach this with the right attitude, your relationship will grow stronger. Good luck.
