Well to start off i'm 17/M and my girlfriend is 16/F
About 6 months ago we met online and we liked each other from the start. Around four months later we figured out a way to meet..Which was really hard because I live in Virginia and she lives in Connecticut. So we met at a hockey game for her birthday..Well we really loved each other in person so we decided to go out and figure out a way to make this work for us. Around a month later, during Christmas break, my dad let me take a train to CT to spend a few days with her. Her family liked me and we had the best time ever. The problem is..I had hopes of going to college in CT so I could be closer to her and the distance would no longer be a problem. Well my dad says he wants me to go to a community college down here for a year or two then transfer to a 4-year college, and he said that is the only way he would help me pay for it. Well I would do anything to be closer to her and go to college in CT which is a real good school for what i want to do anyway (Forensic Science) but my dad said i would have to pay for room-and-board, the out of state tuition, and food, and all the other expenses i would have. I'm not sure how i would be able to do all that on my own..but i would do anything for this girl because i love her so much. And she says she doesn't think she would be able to handle a long distance relationship for another year. Please help me..I don't know what to do and i can't lose her, we're so perfect together and I've never loved anyone like i love her.
try explaining to your dad how much you love her and need her in your life, and try compromising with him, or something like that and if that doesn't work try explain to your girlfriend the hard situation that your in, and how much you love her.

considering you're 17 i wouldn't rush out onto CT. you're pretty young. stick to your dad's plan but you have to explain to her that as much as you love her, it would be such an fiancial strain on you and that although one more year apart from her hurts you like words can never tell, this is something you have to do so you can be with her. it's best to avoid going to debt as much as you can. fiancial stress would also do damage to your relationship. tell your girlfriend that it's tearing you apart but this is the best you can do and that no matter where you are in the world your passion for her shouldn't be pushed aside because it's a little harder. yes it will be hard, but what you have together is so worth it. explain to her that and don't leave an ounce of emotion out of it.
hopefully she'll understand and agree that you both will need to work extra hard to be together miles apart. i think if she loves you like she says she does, she will totally get it and go with it and if not i'm so sorry but it's not gonna be the end of the world.
