My son is a college freshman - no steady GF for him to worry about, but his close friends are split on whether they broke up with their HS GFs.
Two are giving it the long distance thing a go, and two broke up right after HS. FWIW, my wife and I started dating in at the end of her senior year, my junior year of HS. Made it through her freshman year of college and I ended up at the same college. We were both involved in the Greek system and had a ton of fun during college. So, together since 1992, married since 2000. |
This is the exception rather than the rule. More often than not, freshman girls forget their high school boyfriend's name within about five seconds of stepping inside a top-tier house for the first time. This is yet another reason why as a guy it's dumb to have a girlfriend on another campus. |
You’ve got to drop “top-tier” from your vocabulary. Normal people don’t talk or think like that. |
| Married mine, so I guess sometime after 41 and three kids? |
I’m guessing this is the same poster who keeps referring to frat boys as “gods” on campus. He clearly peaked sophomore year of college and has had no intellectual or emotional development since then. |
It’s weird that this guy is posting to a moms’ forum during the day Friday, he should be out stocking up on solo cups and beer for his top-tier house for the epic party tonight where all the girls will be in awe of him and his top-tier brothers, who will all get networking-based finance jobs in a few years. |
| Wednesday before thanksgiving at a bar when one of them sees the others phone and starts with wtf is this... |
| Ds and his gf made it through long distance freshman year then broke up right before sophomore year. Hard to see it happen but ds is much happier without that stress. |
| I thought top-tier houses called themselves “touses” these days. |
I think it’s the “chasing chicks” moron. |
Aww, I hope we have the same kids 😉 My girl had a lovely senior year with her boyfriend. Broke up when they left for all the right reasons, the reality is they are very far apart and it’s a long haul until they won’t be. But on the other hand, they make each other happy and are healthy and supportive. I do hope they give it a go sooner or later. |
| Still together, junior year. Making plans for after college. According to DS they are on FaceTime 24/7. |
Yep. Lots of FaceTime. |
DP: I think college is a time to explore and make new friends. If you have an at home/not at your university LD relationship, it hinders that. You will likely spend time traveling to see them, when you otherwise would be on campus socializing/studying. So my approach is, if it was meant to be, you will still come back together after college or at some later point. Fact is, most relationships do not last (yes I know some do), but most LD relationships at age 18 do not. |
I think that's the person who likes to talk about "foyine" girls. "Top-tier" men are actually more appealing when not drunk and in an environment where you can hear what they are saying. But the PP doesn't understand that. |
