Basically when deciding this, you have to think about whether the person is a giver or a taker? Are you a giver or a taker? I would never recommend trying again with a taker. Ultimately, the best relationships work with 2 givers... (although I'm like half and half :) )

Dude, don't start college with a girlfriend!!! Especially if you're going to the same school!!! I made that mistake myself, and I will always regret it...

Start college clean my friend, and single! You will thank me later :)

Well, best of luck to you. Seems you're pretty sure about this; much more then I can say about the last time I did this.

If you feel that either of you are going to do some "exploring" which is an entirely normal reaction to the freedoms of college then getting back together may not be the smartest thing...

I remind you of the bard's great sonnet....

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
Oh no! It is an ever fixèd mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken.
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come.
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

If you go to college with her as your girlfriend, you will resent her for years to come for the stunting in emotional and social growth she will cause in the most formative years of your adult life.

djheater -- that is my girls favorite sonnet! She was mighty impressed when I told her a bark was a ship.

Bob: entering college is great. If you 2 are going to the same school, then you shuold have more fun.

I've done it a couple of times, with long-term g/fs... sort of bad experiences both times. If either of you has had sex with other people during the interim, there will most likely be lots of emotional pain in store for you.

so true, so true. don't bother trying to get back with your ex. 99% of the time, it will never be the same again. i miss my ex, but f@ck it, the moments past and it's time to get on with your life. if you happen to be apart of that 1%, congratulations to you, otherwise you should focus your time and effort elsewhere. Time spent reminiscing is time you'll never get back. :eek:

girls are evil.
guys are jerks.


<--- still a little bitter.
