Answer 1

it can work out, but it is difficult.

if you are in different schools in different states you will have to make a real effort to stay in each others lives - on an almost daily basis. Luckily , it is cheaper to do that with email than it used to be with daily phone calls.

Answer 2

Long distance relationships are very hard to manage. Take it from me, its no walk in the park. It is very tough and i cannot even begin to tell you what kind of stress and anxiety i have been through trying to put up with this type of relationship. I cannot tell a lie or beat around the bush on this question. I know alot of people can tell you that "if it is true love then it can stand the test of time" or "no amount of space can ever come between that love that you share" (cliche') but i think you will find that space is the hardest obstacle you can ever encounter. In relationships, all the couple wants to do is be together all the time and see each other and talking over the phone every day will not help. Especially when those expensive long-distance phone bills start popping up and when you get another potential relationship with another person who is around you everyday. Another thing is that you both will be starting college in the near future. College is a whole different place from high school. College is opening up a whole new chapter in your life and you will have so many other things going on like school work, college parties, college activities, etc...Eventually you will see that this long-distance relationship that you are trying to hold on to is only holding you back from your new life. My advice would be to keep your options open. You are still young and-no doubt about it-you will meet alot of new people. Stay in school and keep your eyes on the prize, and if the universe brings you and your present love back together, then thats your sign that you two should be together forever. Good luck in the future!

Answer 3

My boyfriend and I are currently in long distance relationship. He lives about 2000 miles away from me. It's been this way for a year and a half and may continue for at least a few more months. So am sort of aware of what you might go through in a few months.

But keep in mind that you 2 will go through one of the biggest changes of your life between graduation day and 2 years after high school so don't force it to work long distance.

Go into a LDR (long distance relationship) with a promise that you 2 will be open and honest with each other about things. That doesn't mean it's ok to cheat on each other, but it does mean that if one person is having questions or doubts, talk it out. In the end, it's better that you are honest than to hang on and then it gets the point where someone cheats.

It's not that bad things hover like a black cloud over LDR's, but they are more difficult to maintain and you have to be smart about it. It will get difficult at times, but it's possible if it's meant to be.

Answer 4

Hmm.. Isn't there any way to go to the same one? If I were you I would try it.. It's for long time and even though you love your gf and she loves you it's gonna be hard.. My boyfriend and I would be in the same place as you but he is trying everything to go with me and I think he made it..i really love him and really appreciate what he does for us.. I think if there is any chance for you guys to study together then let it be it... However if it is not possible then you should talk about how it's going to be .. try to prepare yourselves.. and know that is going to be hard but not impossible.. if your love is strong then consider this as just an obstacle that will strengthen your relationship.. You both should try seeing each other as often as you can and talk everyday on the phone..You make it this time then you have nothing to fear about the future :P see it as a challenge..

Good luck and don't give up..
