writes:My boyfriend and I are both juniors in college who have dated for about a year but known each other our whole lives. We go to different colleges, but often hang out on weekends and talk during the week, etc.Recently, my boyfriend has been applying for a summer internship and was extended an great offer from a company in Florida, which is considerably far from around where we live. Last summer, he got an internship in town, so we saw each other quite often. I've been searching for, and unsuccessfully trying to get an internship (my major makes internships rare, if any at all), but instead working in retail in the summers for some extra cash. My boyfriend asked me if I would come with him on his 3-month internship, since I could live with him for free, have a summer in Florida, etc, but I'm scared to agree to go. I'm scared that if I go with him, I will feel useless. My summer job was never anything special, but not working for the entire summer would be a change. I'm not sure I could find anything in the area we would be in. I would also have to leave the day after my Spring Semester finals ended, not giving me much opportunity to say goodbye to anyone. There are also a lot of positives to going, such as spending my boyfriend's last semi-free summer before settling on a full-time position, living in a different area for a while, new experiences and just enjoying life.What do you think? Should I stay or should I go? Reply to this Question

I would go. 100%, no questions asked. You've known this guy forever right? So you trust him? That's an important question. So if he asks you to go then he wants you there and not all guys will do that. He's going to Florida, he could have not asked you to go and done Lord knows what down there. But he asked you to go. He wants you with him. You only live once. Opportunities like this don't come around often. You're in college, go enjoy yourself! And who says you can't find a job in florida? You wont be useless, because if he loves you and wants you there then he won't let you feel this way. And if it doesn't work, there's always home. Go with your gut girl. And let me know what you decide! thinking of you.

 I think it would be a great opportunity to go! I'm sure you can apply for summer jobs in Florida just the same where you could apply for summers jobs where you currently are in.
If are were you I would want to go just for the experience and to have fun!
