My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and we'll be starting college next fall. I know its a long way off but im just curious what people's opinions are... especially people who have experience with it. We love each other so much and even though im young I really want to give this relationship all i've got... but I have a hard time trusting guys.
Can couples stay together after highschool into college??

Of course, I know many of people that have started relationship in high school and have made it through and are still togther, and some are even married, it really all depends on the relationship itself, both sides have to be giving the same amount into the relationship in order for it to keep going. Also for a relationship to last you need to make sure, you have a great amount of trust and respect for one another, my advice is don't rush it take it slow, and you should talk about it before you go to college, and manage to stick with it as long as you can, but if you suddenly become unhappy, and the relationship is on the rocks, know it's not the end of the world and probably wasn't meant to be. But if your love is strong enough on both sides, you should manage to keep a strong healthy relationship that will make it throughout college.
Good luck :)♥

Absolutely, though it is difficult! My fiance and I started dating at the end of my senior/his junior year of high school. (He was old enough to be in my grade, but did 2 years of kindergarten because he was smaller than the other kids.) I honestly did not expect it to last too far past the end of the summer, since I was going to college about an hour away and he was still in high school.
It has been 3.5 years now. I am getting ready to graduate, and he has a computer career. We are currently living 2 hours apart during the school year (we live together over the summers). We have been engaged for over a year, and are getting married in the summer.
The best advice I can give you is to make time to talk every single day. I don't think a day has gone by over the past 3.5 years that we haven't talked. Talk about your fears, your joys, your stresses, and your successes. Make sure you are on the same page with your relationship.

you can but there are many things to consider. Will you be going to the same college and what are you taking up? A study I saw once found that in the fields of Law and Medicine, the failure rate of relationships and marriage was over 80% because of the change people go through from student to someone working in their chosen field. If you both are determined to make a relationship work, talk to each other and support each other, it can work but if it is a good relationship you can wait until after college for things such as marriage and babies to see how, and perhaps even who, you are then. Good Luck to you!!

Depends. Different colleges or not? It all depends on trust, really. I can't trust guys easily. Plus, I like to see my guy ALL the time so being apart doesn't work for me. However I know people who have made it work... My sister is engaged to a Marine so she won't see him until next year but they trust each other. I think by the time you get to college, you'll just know whether it'll work or not but you'll both have to be willing to give it a shot. Good luck!

this is going to be hard for you to hear but no. many people i know try and work it out right out of highschool but reality is that people change and grow apart. college is such a big transition that could put a wedge betweeen the both of you. i mean you could try and work it out but the reality of it is that you should prepare yourself for what might happen. good luck with everything!

Definatly if you go to the same college. Buts things could change if you go to different colleges. Long distance relationships are never easy.

it's possible but the chance are really small. remember that guys get attracted to girls really easily. but if you guys are going to the same college then it might better.just don't get into his nerve by being with him everysingle minutes. it's possible if you bf is faithful to you.
hope this help

Don't date in college, focus on your studies.
