My best friend has liked me for a few years. We've been close to dating before, but I got scared and thought I still had feelings for my ex and called things off. I've liked him again for a while now, so I'm considering trying it again. The thing is, I'm leaving for college next year. Seeing him won't be an issue because he will be at the same college, but is it a bad idea to start a relationship before college? I'm not going to spend all my time with him...I'm going to make sure that I make my own friends and have my own life, but does anyone have an experience with this, or even just any opinion? That would be great.
BlackAngel answered Saturday May 31 2008, 1:49 pm: Having just finished a year of college and watched what you're talking about happen, here's my advice. Don't go into the year in a relationship. I've watched a fair number of couples break up because they met someone else or felt too tied down and unable to branch out. If you and your friend decide midway through the year, after you've established your friends etc, that you still like each other and want to give a relationship a shot, then go for it. I'd give it through the first semester before jumping into anything though. [ BlackAngel's advice column | Ask BlackAngel A Question ]
