Don't worry. It's not gonna get serious in 2 weeks. Don't turn down something that could be great just so you go to uni single. See how things go, there's always ways of getting out. Have fun!

ya know? I'm in the same boat ........ kinda.

I'm off to Uni soon and recently I met this really nice girl who I seem to acctually like (after 2 years of being single and really picky). So its just such a downer for her to come along so late.

I'd like to stay positive in the hopes that I meet some one at Uni, but I honestly dont think a girl like this comes along often. Woe is me ..

My advice to you .. 'friends with benefits' :biggrin:
A friend of mine started going out with his girlfriend 3 weeks before he started uni. she took a gap year out in africa so they barely saw each other for a year.
It was their 4 year anniversary the other week, and they are still as great together as ever.

I'm in exactly the same situation as you. We just spent a good night out together and I'm so sad that We'll be miles apart in three weeks. I just dont want to think about it :-(

Atleast I have no choice :frown:

My gf lives in Sweden and can't possibly take the flight here once/twice a month as her parents won't allow her. And me going there once a month just doesn't cut it. And we got together 2 weeks ago, sigh...
Eep, im in the same situation..
Known this guy for a long time but he said i wasnt allowed to go to uni without saying goodbye, so we met up a couple of days back and well yeah.
But im moving to the opposite end of the country this weekend, and the travels pretty expensive. That and im going to be on a v intensive course..
Bad timing or what?
The situation being as it is, i cant really see it lasting..What a bad mind set to be in when entering a relationship! Bah

Have a chat with him and be unfront about it and say you didn't expect to go to uni in a relationship but now you aren't sure. Get to know him as much as you can and maybe see how it goes for a few weeks into uni. Relationships at uni work for some but not for others, if you want it to work you'd have to work fairly hard at it and this might not be your idea of fun at uni if you expected to go there free and single.

Quite the contrary, here: I am palpably at-ease with the prospect of being, in geographical terms, farther away from her than ever before.

Is having fun really so important you'd rather not get to know this guy and see if he's for you? You don't have to date him yet - just get to know him. Then mid-way through uni see how it's all going and see what happens. It's what I'm doing with a guy I met off of TSR - we get on well and we're gonna see how it goes, but we're not going out. For the moment I don't fancy the guy anyway. That way, we're both free to pursue someone else, at the same time as seeing if a relationship between us might be right.

Talk to him. And no don't "just have fun" with him - a relationship, a real one at least, is way more than that. And while people say in 2 weeks it's not gonna get serious - you simply never know and I advice you not to mess around with his heart and head if you're not gonna date him, or see him as a potential date. Make the situation clear to him - that's the main thing.

I was in the same boat a week ago, thought i kinda like da guy and was worried about getting 2 attached with him - but guess what?! i find out he actually wants to try and get with my mate behind my back cos i havent had sex with him yet!!!
Seriously!! So all im saying is dont pin all your hopes on the one guy... if things work out then good but if they dont at least you can say youve tried.

Also, you say its really bad meeting someone 2 weeks b4 uni, but its worse if youve been with someone for ages and then u have 2 go to uni.
Because you wont be used to being apart from them, and cos you would probably know him really well then it makes it ten times worse.

I know it must seem like the end of the world right now, but its not like he cant come and visit you at uni, and maybe you could have a casual kinda relationship when u meet up in the holidays etc?
that way you get the best of both worlds - being free at uni and still having some1 you like to come home to :p:
Good luck either way, and remember theres plenty of guys at uni so it wont be the end of the world!

First things first..don't panic! I was in exactly the same poistion last year with my bf, we started going out and about 2 days later he went to uni! But a year on and well still going strong. At time he may need some space (i speak mainly of freshers weeks etc..he needs to meet people!), but that doesn't mean you'll never see him. i saw mine every week, more so when he was at homke at the weekends.

If you want a relationship, have a relationship. Its all up to you :smile:
Well things like this would always happen but talk about Ironic
