I have already made up my mind that I don't want to be with anyone but her, and it's not that I think she will go out with someone else, but being in separate schools I can't help but fear that she may get feelings for someone else and it will weaken our relationship. The best thing I heard is that if it will work out then it will work out, and that was from her parents. What should I do? Reply to this Question

 So you are going away to college and your girlfriend is just starting her high school years? She will miss out on dates to the dances, parties, all the football games? You guys will both be missing out on all the fun that goes on in high school AND college. I think that's sad.

I hate to say this but I think it is inevitable that you will grow apart. There is a huge gap between a high school freshman and a college freshman, not just age wise, but lifestyle wise. You are going to meet so many new people and do so many new things that your girlfriend will not be doing in high school. She will inevitably feel jealous she can no longer share your lifestyle. You will be able to go out and be social any night of the week while she is at home, doing homework. I don't think you should limit yourself to one person when you are about to begin an amazing experience. You should be free to enjoy it to the fullest, because as soon as college starts the amount of things you and your girlfriend have in common will dwindle. Good luck though
