Btw you can't generalise everyone and get one particular impression, all girls are different!
This is an issue that's been on my quite a lot recently, as my current bf told me a week ago that he's going to dump me when he graduates, which is summer 2007. He lives in Derby and I live in London, so I've always known it would be difficult from a practical point of view to continue the relationship after uni, but I was at least willing to try. Now I feel angry that he's dared to make this decision for both of us and only deigned to tell me 8 months into the relationship. I also don't know whether to break up with him, as if he feels this way then the relationship is a deadend and I can already feel myself emotionally detaching from him, as I know anything I feel will be futile in the long term.

I dont know...its quite weird he just goes up to you and says 'im gonna be dumping you soon...' well...I guess that you can never stay in only one place so I guess you need to keep in mind that whatever relationship you invest on it will probably end relativeley soon ... this dosn't mean you only live on one night stands...that would be horrible.

My boyfriend's applied to the same Uni as me, now we're just waiting for his reply to say whether or not he's been accepted. But whatever happens, I'm determined to stay with him. I can't imagine not being with him.

My boyfriend and I are at the same uni and we've been together 2 1/4 years.....no reason why it shouldn't work. I also know many couples who have met whilst being here.

yeah it was a question more of are girls looking for longterm relationships whilst at uni,
I met mine when I was in my first year and he was in his final year, he graduated and moved about an hour away and I still had 2 years left. We're still together, and when I graduate in 5 months time (can't wait!) I'll be moving in with him. It can work, although I was dubious when it came to moving apart because we'd only been together 9 months, we decided to give it a go and I'm so glad we did.

I think long term relationships are totally possible - and dersirable! but i think different people are up for different things - some might be at uni with the intention for "messing about" but im more interested in something long term... just gotta find the right person who feels the same!

Question mainly for the women,

Do girls consider starting a long term relationship during uni a waste of time.
Because you wil eventually move away and it may not last. Are girls on a night out just up for 1 night stands?


I have a boyfriend here. Hes fabulous and our relationship is not a waste of time. Hopefully it will last through uni (we are already flatmates) and for the rest of our lives. I am originally from the Isle of Wight and he is from Somerset but we want to be together so we will :biggrin: Obviously the practicalities will need some reviewing but its a tiny detail.
