My boyfriend and I have been dating for just over a year now, about 15 months. I met him 2 years ago through a friend and knew that moment I loved him. We have always been a ways away, we live about 45 minutes away from each other. We have managed to see each other at least once a week during the school year and a few days a week this summer. In less than a month, he will be studying sports management at a private college a half hour away from me. He will also be playing for the school's rugby team. I however, have one more year of highschool and I am not allowed to visit the campus, nevermind sleep over. We are used to the distance, I am just worried that we will just be too busy for each other. We have talked about this before and he has assured me not to worry, and as silly as it seems for a 17 and 18 year old, we do wish to someday get married. We've seen it happen and have hope. I guess I am just wondering how I can make this relationship last? Perhaps find a way to talk to my parents maturely to allow me to at least visit his campus a few times??

AdviceMistress answered Tuesday August 14 2012, 10:58 am: It's not silly what you're thinking. I met my boyfriend when I was 19. This is hard because for us college was hard on our relationship. It can be tough due to the different schedules you both have. I believe in fate and I believe if its meant to be than its meant to be. Do your best to stay in contact with him but don't over step boundaries. Give him a little space to hang out with friends and do the things he wants to do. After all it it college and I'm sure he wants to get the college experience. Trust each other and have open communication about any problems that may arise. Don't worry too much about it! I'm sure everything will be fine. Good luck! [ AdviceMistress's advice column | Ask AdviceMistress A Question ]
