I’m going to be a senior in high school, my girlfriend is going to college. Will things be okay with us?
It is possible, but less than likely. I remember my first and second year at college. It is slightly embarrassing first of all when you are at college and admit your boyfriend is in high school. There will be snickers and jokes. Then there is the fact that she is practically living with college guys. You say she can be bad and at college there infinite opportunists to be bad. Also the players always work the long con and the short con. Meaning they know who they can get in a weekend or two and those that take a semester or two. They employ different tactics for each so she will be a target for one or the other. The key is honesty and communication without being possessive. Just know when to cut your losses, but don’t give up yet. I remember a very attractive super intelligent girl who had a high school boyfriend and then he joined the Marines so they were still apart and they eventually got married. I knew about ten more that the relationship was done by Christmas.
I'm a senior in high school. My girlfriend just told me our relationship has an expiration date. What should I do?
She’s probably referring to when the two of you go to college, or the military, or find a job, or an apprenticeship, or trade school, or whatever it is that causes you to part ways. Loads of teenage relationships just can’t function long-distance, so many high school sweethearts split up after graduation. Not to be unpleasant, but you should have been at least vaguely aware of this when this relationship started; that this probably wouldn’t have been forever.That being said, any partner who tells you your relationship with them has an expiration date is being an asshole. You are not a carton of yogurt. This statement is her showing how much she thinks of you, which is apparently very little.I would advise you to be proactive and think about moving on.
I'm a senior in highschool joining the army and my girlfriend of one year is a junior, should I break up with her?
This is totally the wrong place to seek advice.By the time you leave boot camp, you are going to to be so different than you are now. Your life experiences are about to double. She will still be living at home having someone else taking care of her.What are her long term plans?I’d never recommend any commitment until all parties have had a chance to live life on their own for a while. On their own terms. Deal with responsibilities, learn self-sufficiency.You didn’t say marriage, but I’m going to bring it up. When a girl goes from daddy taking care of her straight into marriage, then the new husband replaces daddy, and it’s now his job to take care of her. That doubles the man’s burden. Not saying she wouldn’t grow into her role, but it’s not easy.You don’t have to break up with her, but don’t rush either.And before you get married, (to anyone) put the starry dreamy thoughts away for just a little bit, and discuss, realistically, what your goals will be. Especially financial. That’s the biggest challenge of any couple. Marriage is like Thanksgiving. Sometimes your eyes are bigger than your stomach. Live within your means, and save something every month.I have had a good career, I make good money. I drink water when I go out to eat because I’m not paying some restaurant $2.50 for 12 ounces of soda. That money can be better utilized elsewhere. Get into those kinds of habits. Make sure your spouse, who ever she is, has those same kinds of goals.

Is it wrong of me to pursue my military dream and leave my girlfriend behind?
As for the ROTC suggestions, the CG doesn't participate in ROTC so that truly wouldn't be an option for this particular branch. As far as going to college and then to OCS for the CG, less than 5% of all CG officers get picked up "off the street". That means almost all of CG officers are either Academy graduates or are enlisted that have worked their way up and achieved the chance to go to OCS. I can understand her feelings, she is young, so are you. But you can't join the military when you are old. This is not meant as smart *** or rude... You need to make a career for YOU! If she chooses to wait for you, and you wait for her, that is something that needs to be decided down the road. The CG is an excellent career. I was that young girl once... I encouraged my fiancee to join the CG. We were apart for a little over a year, I was in NJ, he was in Alaska. I was convinced unlike the old saying "Absence makes the heart go wander." I was wrong. He waited for me because he loved me. I waited for him because I loved him. When the time was right, we married and I moved to Alaska. We have lived all over the US and it has been a pretty wonderful experience for about 90% of it. There are always downsides, nothing is 100% perfect. It was so good we encouraged our son when he wanted to enlist. My ex-husband is still active duty, he is one of those that enlisted and eventually went to OCS. He is currently a Commander who will be celebrating 26 years active duty this year, getting his first spot as a CO, he just returned from a year in Iraq and he will be making Captain soon. My son has been in 2 years, is getting ready to go to his A School for his specialty and is looking at a lifetime career for himself as well. I know it is hard when you are young to see past the next couple of months... but don't let something like an excellent career and some great adventures pass you by so as not to upset a girl. A girl that if you let yourself miss the chance, you may regret. Also, you may not be there for every Saturday night for a hot date but you don't have to leave anyone behind... there is text messaging, email, webcam & chat, if you are on the same phone carrier you can probably talk for hours & hours never using any minutes. The distance only has to be physical, mental you can still be with each other just as much as always. Best of luck... it really is an excellent life!!
Why should I date in high school if I’m just going to have to break up with them (GF) at the end of my high school career?
Why do you have to break up? It’s not like there’s an expiration date on your relationship.If there was a reason to eventually break up, my answer would be baseball. No one ever hit a homerun the first time they went to bat. They had to practice. They had to strike out. They had to get dirty and hurt. Dating in high school might seem pointless, but dating in general is about practice. You put yourself out there and have to start thinking about someone else’s life, rather than just your own. Maybe you strike out (you were dating the wrong person or you did something wrong). Maybe you get hurt (they do something to you or you are hurt by a breakup). But the more you practice, the better you get, and eventually you will find someone you won’t break up with (or you won’t, because you quit).
My girlfriend's mom doesn't like me?
I've been with my gf for awhile now, and her and I want to get engaged before I leave for basic training on the 12th of August. Next year will be her senior year, and we love one another very much. The mom is nice to me, but I feel my gf and I have been together long enough for the mom be happy with an engagement. Today, the mom and I were talking about rings, and I said I was gonna give my gf a ring before I left. The mom said "not THE ring is it? Because that can't happen till after college and after you're out of the Army." Thing is, is after hs, my gf doesn't wanna go to college around here, I can put her through online college via my GI bill. Also, I plan to either retire from the Army, or die in it. So I'm not just gonna "get out." What should I do, I already have a ring? :-(
