I'm in love and I'm moving.?

Question

Here's the story, I'm almost 18 (I am young, I know). I'm in my last year of highschool and next year I go off to university. I love my girlfriend very much (who is a year behind, 17 as well), yet am constantly troubled by the idea or thought that maybe this is just youthful naivety... I desperately want us to be together for as long as possible, and has moved beyond that initial lusty feeling of sexual attraction to the comfort of just "being" in her prescence. It's a feeling of safety, of companionship. I really, can only call it love.

I guess what I'm wondering is, is it naive to be so optimistic at my age, am I keeping her from experiencing things because of the relationship? I just want her to be happy, (hopefully with me). I know, I'm a chronic worrier, so this is probably such a goofy question to ask.

Thanks...

Answer 1

You said you are moving, right?
If you can see each other about twice a month, and your relationship stays solid, then you have nothing to worry about.
If your worry are real, they will be realized while you are in university.
The best you can do is to treat her the best you can and see if you are still together after you graduate. If by then she is still there with you, then you are a very lucky guy and should devote the rest of your life to making her happy.
