Girlfriend and College... and another girl?

Well, I just recently celebrated my 1 year anniversary with my girlfriend. She's my first serious girlfriend, and I love her. But we are both high school seniors, we are both going to college next year, and I'm kinda in a unique situation.

First off, there's a chance I might go to two colleges, one of which I will be with her(college 1), the other I will be only a few hours away (college 2), now here's the benefits of each.

College 1; Much cheaper, I could probably come out without any student loans. It's a great atmosphere I'm sure I could fall in love with as much as the other if I gave it time

College 2; the most unbelievable campus I've been on. I fell in love with it and I have wanted to go there for months. She will be there, and there's a good chance we could stay together if we go here. I will have student loans, but not an excessive amount, I'd probably come out with about the average (20,000).


Now to throw in another twist, i've been spending time with another girl, and I have been flirting with her, and I think I have a crush on her. Which is weird because I've never had this happen throughout my relationship with another girl. They both are very similar with personality, but this one is the grade below me, more physically attractive, and seems to have less personal problems.


I don't know what to do. I would never cheat, but I have been thinking about trying to take a break if it turns out I will go to the other college than my girlfriend. She wants to try long distance but I don't know if I can do it. I kinda want to be able to be single, but then again I dont because I love our relationship and our physical relationship and everything. I don't know what to do.

What do you guys think I should do...?

 

I'd set your priorities. I, personally, would think more about what's important for my education and my finances over my love life.

 

Sanct is right. Go to college 2, becasue it is obviously going to give you a better shot at education, AKA a better shot at actually staying together. A few hours drive isn't all that horribly bad, and with Skype/phones and all that I seriously doubt any real issues would occur. If you really get in a tough situation, ditch her and go with the other girl.

 

Just because college 2 is more expensive doesn't mean it guarantees a better education than college 1. I'm assuming college 1 is a community college, and, I can tell you from experience, you can get a great education from one. Not to mention my community college was a tenth of the price of the school I'm going to now.

I'd definitely think more about your financial well-being than your girlfriend. Getting stuck with thousands of dollars worth of student loans is definitely not a fun experience.

 

You should do that Sanct. said.
I think later in life after all this school stuff and you've settled down you will have multiple opportunities to meet new people

 

Sanctuary is right, don't let a girl decide what your route after high school will be. To be honest, a girl will tie you down in college with all the attention she will be needing. You will meet alot of people in your college life so don't sweat it.

 

dude wtf is wrong with you

fuck the other bitch

go be with your girlfriend at the college you like.

what the hell

 

Crushes like that come and go throughout relationships. I remember having one or two on other girls when I was with my ex-gf, but I never did anything about it. Sometimes I thought I was an idiot for not pursuing it but now I know that it was very smart of me.

The idiotic thing was for me to even get that close other women at all. Naturally, things were rocky at times in my last relationship and sometimes I would wonder what it would be like to be with somebody else again. In the end though, I lost my girlfriend and that period of my life was hell for me.

The point I am trying to make is that even these new people you meet sometimes seem great and interesting to you, you have to tread very carefully around them. If you really do love your current girlfriend, and you really value the time you guys spend together and the things you do together, WHY would you even risk that one little bit?

 

I won't give my perspective on you and your girlfriend. But, I HIGHLY suggest you go to college number 1. I personally go to a community college, and I am spending HALF the amount I would be spending if I went to a major university. I say this because your first year of college is a bunch of bologna. You have to take dumb english classes, dumb math classes, etc. All of which normally do not contribute to what you want to study, except getting your credits. Just my 2 cents. Also, props for not wanting to cheat on your girlfriend .

 

Definitely do not cheat. If you like the physical relationship, try to get with the new girl more and find out if she would like a physical relationship also

 

Yeah, good luck with whatever you doo..

From experience, going from highschool to the same college as your lover can be rough..

My gf told me she felt like she was missing out on the college experience by being with me, which basically means I was keeping her on a leash and preventing her from filling herself up with cock whenever she had the chance.
