re: High school couples dumping each other before college?

We had a "don't ask, don't tell" policy about our free time... Kinda the best of both worlds. Ended up going different directions after 5 years but still friends to this day.

Whatever works for you...but this is not what I envision when I talk about a relationship...and I sincerely hope that my children do not either.

I went to this dorm "mixer" my first week at LSU. A friend and I wound up meeting these two girls from Miller dorm. I wound up talking to one of them for most of the night. She gave me this sob story about her and her high school boyfriend of four years had decided to go to different colleges, but remain dating. A week or so before they officially left, he had told her that he thought it would be better if they didn't "officially" stay a couple (although he did want to possibly hook up on weekends), because he wanted them both to "grow" while in college. She was convinced that he had met another girl when he had gone up a few weeks earlier for some sort of orientation/testing weekend.

Let's just say I gave her a shoulder to cry on and she gave me a blow job. All in all, a pretty fair swap.

It is all about timing. You met the "one" when it was all perfect for both of you. Congrats and I mean that.

My timing just sucks...

My college girlfriend went to college still having her high school boyfriend... I met her at a bar my first night of my sophomore year...needless to say she broke up with him a week or two later and we dated for 2 years.

They will be looking and all bets are off when alcohol is involved and they are free from the nest
