Hi.

I'm going to be starting college in a couple of days. And I recently got involved in an LDR.

Just for some background info: Me and this guy were friends for two years. During those two years, I was absolutely head over heels for him. I tried other guys, but I just couldn't get him out of my mind.

Over the summer he finally admitted how he felt (I think because I finally turned 18, haha..he's a few years older.) and we've been dating since. But now that I'm going into college, some people seem concerned that I'll miss out on the social scene because of this.

I don't know, maybe I'm naive, but I was kind of thinking that since it's an LDR, it could be better. I won't be with him all the time. Since he's so far away, I'll be able to concentrate on my studies, friends, parties, normal college stuff. But the one thing I won't do is the random hookups/dating stuff. I waited 2 years, I don't want to lose him because of college.

He means so much to me and everyone seems to think that the minute I meet a new guy, I'll ditch him.

He graduated from Uni last year so I don't have to worry as much about him meeting/sleeping with tons of random girls. It's more like the ball's in my court. He's worried I'm going to meet another guy.

I just think if we grow apart gradually, then so be it. But for now, I'm happy with him, and that won't change overnight just because I go to college.

Thought?

LiLKiss agony auntok hun im in similar relationship.. i know this guy for lil over 2 yrs and we been dating on and off. he leaves for collage every summer and it is deam hard. what you need to do is make sure that he know how much he means to you and when you away try to stay in contact. me n your boyfriend are in similar situation and i just hope he wont get too much worried and jelous and brake up because that is what i did for 2 yrs. we get back for the summer and i brake up soon after he leaves. now we trying to have not so serious rlationship and ill see if it will work. also if he brakes up with you it doesnt mean he dosnt love or care about you dont worry so much, you are still young and there is planty fish in the sea.
