Q: my boyfriend and i have been together for almost 2 years now.. this year im going to be a senior in high school, and he's going into his sophomore year of college. he plays basketball, so sometimes during the season it is hard for us to be together. we made it through last year, but i just feel like im not really up to make it through this year. he lives like 20 minutes away down in the dorms. i really love him and dont want to break up, but what else can i do? i need attention haha... i feel selfish, but no.. im really just used to having him around whenever i need him. any tips, thoughts, suggestions?
If you love each other, you should both be willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.

When I was in college, my boyfriend (at the time) did something really special for my birthday. He knew that I was too busy studying for mid terms, to go out and celebrate my 19th birthday. So he worked with my roommates to surprise me. While I was studying at the library, he set candles and roses all around the dormroom. He cooked a fantastic dinner, complete with dessert. And even paid for my roommates to go out to dinner and a movie, so we could have the room to ourselves. That was truly the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me. But I also remember all the small things he did, like leaving messages on my answering machine, saying "I just wanted to hear your voice and tell you that I love you." And he would slip little notes in my coat pocket or send flowers for no reason...

I hope this story provides inspiration for you and your relationship.

thankss :)
