High school and College Students Dating Each Other
Hey, so i'm going to be a senior in high school next year, and I like this guy who will be a freshman in college next year. i don't think we should go out, but he doesn't think it would matter. Is this a bad idea? I mean he'll be two hours away, and it won't be easy to be in such different stages in our lives. I mean, we aren't going out yet, but there has been talk about it. We are both attracted to each other, but I just don't think it's a great idea...

Alright, so i'm in college. I'm not some weird old person or a weird young chick haha.
Dating someone that is a year older than you is not a crime. yes, he will be college and yes, it is a HUGE difference from high school, but if you two like each other and WANT to do long distance dating - then do it. if not, i would hold off a year and if he likes you as much as it sounds - you shouldn't be worried because he will be willing to wait. if he doesn't want to wait and you don't feel comfortable with long distance, he's not worth it.
So the whole high school and college thing - no biggie. you have to learn to trust. the whole long distance thing is extremely hard.

You are right, It probably isn't a good idea. Of course he is going to insist otherwise because sometimes people don't like to see the reality of a situation.
College and High school are almost two completely different worlds. College is more freedom and while he is no longer in high school he is almost on a completely different stage in his life. After high school comes reality. There is no more waking up going to high school and coming home. It becomes getting up, Going to College, Studying and possibly working.
Also, Long distant relationships are very hard to up keep. You need to be able to completely trust one another and sometimes the pressure of being apart begins to take it's toll on a relationship. College is stressful and he may not realize it yet but all too often relationships tend to get in the way of college studying.
Are you able to handle the pressure of being apart for long periods of time?
Will you be able to handle knowing he is away at college two hours away? What about traveling and expenses of traveling? These are reality of your question.
I think it may be best if you both remain friends or go your separate way. It is more stressful to hold onto a relationship then to find a new one.
