    My boyfriend and I have have been dating for 5 months in two days. We are starting our senior year in a couple weeks. We have discussed what our future will look like after high school. We both want to stay together but are unsure how we can do that with college approaching and if we will have time for each other or if we will stay together after college. We have known each other for 6 years and I love him a whole lot and want this to work out. I want to know how we can make it work and keep the relationship going? I know we are young but I just want to know how we can deal with it so he’s not stressing about it and making me stress about it. Thank you!

    These are really good questions. It’s tough when you’re dating someone in high school and then the prospect of colleges in different states, looms. There’s a lot of anxiety about your own life and your life with him, as well. The thing is, for now, you have to wait and see where you’re both going to wind up. You may be in the same college. You may be in different colleges in the same state. Or you may be on different sides of the world. But right now, you just don’t know. I understand that you want security and it’s hard not to have it with so much up in the air, but you really have no choice but to wait and see. When you do find out where you’re applying, where you get in and where you’re both going, THEN you can discuss whether or not you want to keep dating and how often you want to see each other. I know waiting and uncertainty are a challenge, but that’s what you have to accept for now. So enjoy the relationship, but also foster your friendships with your friends, so you have a broad support system and you’re not too reliant on just him. It’ll help alleviate your anxiety because you’ll be focusing more broadly.

    I hope that helps!
