Ok so my girlfriend is 7 years older than me, she is in her mid 20's I'm not even 20. I have been with 2 girls including my girlfriend right now and lately I've been thinking about my girlfriends past which consisted of partying all the time while she was in college(eventually failed out) and how many guys she's been with. I don't even know a number but I've personally met 2 and before we started dating she would talk about how she would "hook up" with people. I don't understand these feelings or anything, we have been dating for 6 months I just can't tell if this is the girl I want to marry. I love my girlfriend like crazy but she is a girl I told myself that I would never date. Should I try to keep going with this relationship or try to end it cause I don't know if we will work out... Sucks that I don't know what to do and I don't want to talk to her about it because she will just ball out crying. Oh yeah we are long distance dating and I'm in college. Just don't know what to do, some feedback would be nice. Thanks

Her past is none of your business. It happened before you.

With that said, she sounds like a party girl. Is she cheating on you while you are away at school? At your young age LDRs rarely work. It takes 2 mature people who are in a healthy relationship to make one work.

Young guy, you don't even know who you are dealing with. You should be insecure and afraid if it makes you cautious enough to protect your heart until you know more and 6 months of a LDR is hardly enough to know anything except what she tells you.

You haven't even had time to know how to talk to her so how many times have you actually dated in person? Thoughts of marriage are premature unless you get to interact and learn a lot more in person, NOT online chatting.

You have a chat buddy not a dating partner my friend and in no way can you be so serious at this stage given the circumstances. LDR's are not a good way to develop anything but insecurities and fears, and FANTASY, so early in an encounter.

I would hope you have a real social life, with real people as you explore this chat/online LDR, and are NOT dependent on this as a hopeful option. You are asking for trouble if you do, especially if you met online!

You are full of confusion and contradiction, typical for late teens. You are trying to love a woman who has been through a LOT more than you, because at your ages, 7 years is a HUGE difference.

You are surrounded by women your age. I don't understand a LDR when you are in college. Go out and have fun with any number of girls your age. You don't have to forget your 'girlfriend' (wondering just how much time have you two actually spent together in person, which is the only real way you can know someone, no matter what you think)? But you do need to tell her gently that you have to start going out with girls in school.

No, you are not "dating" if this is long distance,

Dating is actually going places together.

How many times have you been together in person?

And no you do not talk about your past or her past, her past is non of your business, and in a few years, you will have one, that a younger girl may not like.

This is not even a "think about marriage" time, you may consider, "should i date her in real life" and if you want to keep seeing her, but marriage is too far away to even think

I guess I'm in disagreement with most of you. I'm 34 and my husband is 26. And yes I too have a past, a dark one, but I left out no detail, and simply said, I'm a survivor. In order to love me now and in the future you have to love my past as well. Now, I'm speaking as a person who has learned from her mistakes and built a better future for herself. If she seems like she's still stuck in the"partying" phase, then obviously she has not put the past behind her. But if that's all behind her, and she's a better person because of it, then no matter what she did in her past, it should be put behind her. Cause that's all it is... behind her. The past. You have nothing to do with that and you also have no right to judge her for it. I'm sure you did something in your past your not to proud of. Now how would you feel if the tables were turned? You wouldn't want her to end it just cause of some "things" you did in your past now would you? Just love her and build a brighter future!

Every time I've heard "Long distance" associated with some "Relationship". It's usually two people that have never even met in person... which to me is NOT a relationship. And you aren't a boyfriend or girlfriend to someone you've never met in person.
