BondGirl72 agony auntIt could work out if you both want it and are committed to working at it. He is the one I would worry about as he is the one going to be in a new environment and meeting new people. But, if you both want to stay in the relationship, then all you can do it try it out. If it doesn't work, you will know it soon enough and can deal with it at that time. I think it will be stressful enough with him leaving, so you will both need each other for emotional support. I wouldn't break up until someone wants to or meets someone else, then I would be completely honest about what I wanted. There are all sorts of ways to stay in touch now, and maybe you could even visit him.

Im in the same situation as you but we're going to the same college and shes already told me that better to be friends :(. My advice to you is that if you really love him dont let him go and try to keep in contact most of the time

My boyfriend went off to college this year as well and he's fairly nearby but seeing each other is going to be difficult. I'd say talk to him about it. The two of you need to be on the same page. If both of you are willing to work at this then it will be worth it in the end. It's not bad to stay with him. Also if the two of you do stay together, little surprises might help distract from how much you miss each other. For instance, if you help him move in to his dorm, put a little note somewhere where he'll find it later on. Little things like that will make the distance seem shorter. Hope this helps!
