Q&A: Any tips on how to keep dating a guy through college?

Question by Wolfgirl: Any tips on how to keep dating a guy through college?
I have been dating my current boyfriend for over a year and a half, and we are both going to colleges this year, different ones. We are only an hour apart, but I am worried that we wont be able to stay near as close as we have been, and that we will just drift apart. Does anyone have any tips for how to keep this from happening?

Hey honestly this will be an eye opener for him and you. Unfortunately a lot of people change once they hit college.
Not true in all cases but you know there are a lot of pressures. Long distance can work but I think when college is added into the mix it’s even harder.

Try to communicate as much as possible. But also remember school should come first… after all that’s why you’re there. Don’t slack on your education over some drama with the dude or anyone else.
Make it a point to visit each other and spend time in each others new lives.

At the end of the day, we all know how college is. Even if you don’t want to admit to it, people do “Look” get stupid and people do cheat.
That’s why most people break off relationship ties before entering.
