My boyfriend & I have been dating for 4 months now & he's going off to college while I'm stuck here in high school. Would things change between him & I? Should I dump him because of the distance we'll be having? (He isn't moving to a different state/country, just not the same school) My parents are hardcore strict! & they never let me out and there's no way of convincing them to let me go out w/ people or my boyfriend (I'm not asking for advice to talk to my parents, they can't understand English anyway lol). So what should I do? Should I continue this relationship and love him for the next 2-3 years? Do you think a COLLEGE student would still love me by then? :) Please help.
I wouldn't break up with him just yet tho because once again you never know how the changes will affect you.
Lastly, you might not realize, but this guy you are dating is growing older, to an age where soon he will be looking to settle down. You are still in the wonderful years of highschool where you are given many opertunities to associate with other guys that you could end up dating. While the difference in age may not hinder the fact that you are dating, be aware that he is becoming a man.
You sound like a wonderful girl! Please do not get discouraged, just understand the difference that college might bring to your world. I wish you the best of all luck with your boyfriend

Don't dump him just yet. See how things go for the first month of his college year. If things aren't going well for either of you, a break would be good. See if things will work out in the future. If neither of you think they will, then it's best you break up & move on.
Honestly though, do what makes you happy & what you think is right. Just consider the things I've said & the make your deicisons or thoughts from there. Good luck. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
