Hi everyone, I'm brand new to the forum.
But I wanted to share my story with you all.
My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost a year now, and we will soon be going off to college in the fall. We do not attend the same school, he goes to an inner city catholic private school and I go to a suburban school almost 40 miles away. So I see him about once a month, possibly twice. We met last year at an engineering summer program, and we fell in love.
Now we will be going to different colleges, and he is an engineering major so he will be doing a lot of studying and preparing for his education. I will be almost 300 miles away from him, me in central ny state, and he in massachusetts. We have made it strong for this past year, we still have the same fire and love for each other that we had when we first met. Nothing has changed.
We are both extremely open with each other, tell each other everything, and he also my best friend. At first I thought that this was just puppy love, but now I can even see that older adults see us as a great match and have asked us how we are going to stay together in college. I really want to stay together. We are planning on getting married (God willing).
There are always the people that put me down saying that "I'm crazy" going into college with a boyfriend, but I don't see the need to break up this perfectly fine relationship just because of distance. People always tell me that I will "find someone else" in college. But I'm not looking for someone else right now, because I am happy with the man I have.
I guess I would like to know if anyone has been through this long distance college relationship thing and just give me pointers. This relationship is very important to me, and I would like to know what to expect!
