Distance makes the wang wander, never mind the heart. I can't remember how many relationships I saw crumble as a result of distance over my first few weeks at school.

And no, not all of them were my fault.

Just four or five.

My girlfriend and I have been apart for 3 years, with about 2 visits per month. We're now engaged, and I'm going to be moving to her city soon. It all depends on if you really love the person or not. If you do, then nothing will deter you from that love. If fate means for you to be together, you will be. It's all a matter of finding the right one.

You don't know what's out there until you've experienced college for a while... and that alone is why HS relationships don't last all the way through college *most* of the time, despite the efforts and promises. It may not be the wang wandering but you could find someone you can get along with even better. All I'm saying is don't close yourself off so early in your life. It's not fair.

With that said, I hope you're right about her staying faithful as well.

Pretty much exactly what I stated above. Good for you two - glad to hear you're making things work.

So ... can I plan your bachelor party? :evil:

Cheat on her.
No, that's not something I could do

Nor would I want to
Hey, its not your fault that she can't come to see you.
No she can, and will, there is too much work on both our parts right now (both 1st year)
I'm giving you a heads up. Distance makes the heart wander.
Yup...and college makes a lot of girls who normally wouldn't get hit on into superstars

Just another heads up ;)
With that said, I hope you're right about her staying faithful as well.
Like I said...girls get *a lot* more attention in college because guys drink *a lot* more

Attention most likely won't make a girlfriend cheat but they will make her question your relationship...sorry, saw it happen to too many friends...

For some reason, I'm hesitant to say yes...I can't imagine why. :p

Well I am no Dr. Phil, but the two times I have seen more break ups in my life are peoples first 6 months in college and their first 6 months living together.

Seems like September to Turkey Day is enough time for people to wonder about their relationship. The couple gets together for 4 or 5 days and things seem a bit different. Back to school the mind wanders, then by Christmas break one or both are ready to call it off.

The other is when couples see each other all the time, but still have that time away at night or on weekends or when ever. Then they move in together and everything seems different.

Well that's what I have seen and like everything else there are those 8th grade romances that turn into 60 year anniversary's, but the 50% divorce rate seems like a lot safer bet, especially since your just dating.
