Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests dating somebody 3 hours away

Well, I considered them missed opportunities cause I didn't cheat on her.... but she cheated on me. It was much better being single in college anyway. Unless your girlfriend is actually at that college (or at least at one up the road).

And yeah, whats up with the 23 - 16 thing? Is that even legal?

after talking to some friends, i'm still gonna go away. although i'd be able to be with melissa more if i stayed around, ysu isn't where i want to be, and i'd hate every minute of going there. i think i'm gonna go to osu, and hope for the best. like you guys said, if it's real, love will find a way and the relationship will work itself out. just can't worry too much, because there's not a whole lot i can do right now except for enjoy the time i have left with her. and to cappuccino911 - dude, you're an ******* and i would be ashamed of myself if i ever thought that way. my girlfriend isn't some ****toy. i don't go and spend time with her to get some ass. those aren't my intentions, or hers. i feel sorry for whatever relationship(s) you've been a part of. i'm not in this to get a piece, i enjoy being with her.

I have had no personal experience with the long-range thing. I can give you some of my thoughts considering 2 of my 3 best friends dealt with a 5+ hour distance between them and their gfs.

First I will say good luck. You probably won't need it, but you will notice that the high school years are the most evolutionary in social lives. College is the place where you learn to break the parental bond and learn to talk to strangers and mingle with people you've never met before. High school is a place where you depend strongly upon having a clicque (click) of people with commonalities. Both of you will no dobut struggle with each other and with your schooling and your social lives.

The long distance thing shouldn't break you two apart if you were meant to be together. You should never be the one to cheat (so you should never convince yourself that she is cheating on you). I would leave her before I would cheat. You should tell her what you believe (if you haven't already) and trust that she trusts you.

You might find that you car talking to her more than 3 times a week (my two buddies are on the ball and chain and 80% of their calls are from their gfs - we are talking 3 times a DAY). IM and ICQ will be cheap and you may never know how effective these could be. The first problem my buddies saw was the phone bill after the 1st month apart. $300 kind of makes the parents want to hang the phone up for you in the middle of the conversation. They both have cell phones with plans that allow for tons of talk time and that don't charge long distance. Hopefully you will be able to find one of these should you decide you need it.

You will both be stressed. Freshman year of college is when you become disoriented and have to find your balance and stand on your own feet. It will especially be tough for you, but your willpower, communication, and creativity will be the things you need to make a go at a relationship (as with any good relationship).

Just make sure you show the effort and the fidelity and she will reciprocate (hopefully).

Good Luck

BTW both of my friends are happily still together (one pair for 3 years and the other for 18 months of mostly long-distance) and they have all gone through at least the first "fight" and have managed to overcome it.

Having sex with anyone under the age of 17 is statuatory rape, at least in Indiana. Up to 4 yrs. Better know her parents very well!

:rolleyes:

does this automatically mean they're having sex cause they're in a relationship?

believe it or not, two people can date and not bang.

How bout this thought...... HE is 23! What 23 year old aint bangin a girl (unless for religious reasons). A note, though, he may not be bangin her..........

A monogamous relationship means that two people are not having sex with anyone else, to be in a monogamous relationship you must be having sex.

Weird isn't it!

Sorry but $50 says you find a college girl. Im just playin the odds [img]http://forum.dtmpower.net/avatar.php?userid=1647&dateline=1014229837[/img]
All im saying is 18yrs old going to college and the women that will be there... thats right no more 16yr old bods. But i wish you two the best of luck, as long as your both honest with each other.

All it takes is one "What was i thinking?" to lead you to the next.

Many of you are just giving him an excuse to rationalize it if he ever did cheat...you should be telling that to his girlfriend, not him.

And all there venereal diseases...yah!

I dont know about where you live, but this was usually the guy that couldnt get anyone there own age, but was the cool guy with the High School Kids. ha ha

Well sway, if they are as mature and serious as he says it likely that they could be having sex. 15-16 yr olds do have sex, but usually with other high school kids, which is bad, but at least no one goes to jail if mom & dad find out.
