She's moving - any advice would be great

[strumming]

Hi everyone I'm new to this site. I hope I posted this in the right spot, but anyway here is my introduction.

My girlfriend and I have lived a few minutes away for about a year. We are both about the same age and college students. She is transferring to a college that is still in California, but is over 300 miles away. I have my worries about how well this long distance relationship is going to work out because I have been in one that has failed before and know the toll the distance can take on a relationship. I'll be transferring to a closer college next fall at the latest, possibly in the spring.

I've been looking online for advice and continually read about setting ground rules or guidelines. What do you think about setting guidelines? Anybody have experience doing so?

Thanks for the help and advice

Welcome to LFAD! I don't think it's so much setting guidelines unless you guys aren't planning to continue your relationship. You guys just need to make sure you communicate. Let each other know how you feel. Good luck!
