Hi I'm 18 years old, I just started at top 4 year college in Michigan and I moved in today. I have been anticipating going to college for a year now ever since I was accepted. About 6 months ago I had a nasty break up and I told myself to stay away from girls ever since so when I got to college I wouldn't worry about relationships anymore. About 3 weeks ago, I started talking to this wonderful girl. She is best friends with my best friends girlfriend. Needless to say I saw her a lot, and she was in a relationship where her ex treated her horribly. I started talking to her online for a few days, and then we went on a date to the movies and ever since it was like a storybook or something from it. We both say neither of us has fallen for someone so quickly. Everything that I've wanted in a girl, smart, funny, she can take a joke and she gives them right back to me, she's cute, and she knows how to make my day everyday. Above all those she is honest and sincere and I know she will not cheat no matter what because we've both been cheated on before. Recently I have been dealing with ditsy, lying, cheating girls and I think that its time to move on from that. I have stilll not been able to find a thing that I don't like about her. I can honestly say that I love her. She broke upw ith her b/f 2 weeks ago and I asked her out shortly after and we've been dating ever since. My problem is that now that I am 2 hours away from her, I feel this sense of regret and longing. I miss her so much is almost unbearable and she feels the same. I want nothing more than to be with her everyday like I used to before I left. I am going home on the weekends sometimes, and of course for holidays and breaks but I still have this feeling like I just want to break down and cry or something. And I NEVER cry. I just miss her so much I'm so confused on what to do about it the only thing I can think of is to just take it in step and figure that its just because its so recent that we parted each other and have to get used to not seeing each other like we used to. I just need advice on how to cope with the realization that this is going to be tough, and that I won't see her everyday. Some may call me pathetic tacky young but I don't care I know what I feel and I've never felt it before so I just need some advice on what to do from here. Thanks in advance

It's great to find someone who you are so compatible with. But you've only been together a very short time. It is way to early to know if it is anything real.
For now keep things up through phone and email and visit when you can. But don't make the mistake of going to see her every weekend. You need time to socialize with people at school.
Lots of couples have survived not being together during the college years. Be happy that she is trust worthy. If it's meant to be it will survive.
