  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Ok so here we go.....

I am currently dating a girl who I have been intrested in or dated for around four years or more. We are both HighSchool Seniors and will be attending diffrent Colleges. The colleges will be more than an hour and a half away from eachother. Well, one of my best friends that is a "Girl" happens to be going to the same college as me. I have known this "Girl" forever... We have gone on to many dates to count. We never became exclussive, also we only held hands. This "Girl" is one of my bestfriends! Well my girlfriend has problems with the fact that we are going to go to the same College. Truthfully, I can not just put our friendship aside durring college. She will be my only friend there that I know.... When in a relationship should you call it quits and just enjoy eachother? With out problems? I have no direct questions just lots of maybes.... Please give me input!

This is a toughy situation. It's hard to say what to do and what not to do.

Here's what I would personally do.
Don't be with your friend alone as much as possible. Try to make friends and be in groups. This shows your girlfriend that you're keeping yourself out of positions that could be dangerous.
Don't forget your girlfriend! Sometimes you get so caught up in things that you may put her on the back burner by accident. Be sure not to do this! Do little things for her, like sending a little 99 cent halmark card saying you miss and love her.

Don't give up on your friends because your girlfriend doesn't like them. However I can understand that she's bit jealous - a long distance relationship is hard work, but worth it if you're committed to each other. :)
She needs to trust you - and trust is one of the most important things in a relationship. - without trust there is no love (quote from Moulin Rouge)
You will need a good friend when you move away to college. :)

Hey Travis, I agree with what others have said (just so you know, your profile lists you as female, I was a little confused at first). Anyhoo, your girlfriend is probably just scared right now, long distance relationships are difficult, and sometimes girls can feel insecure and fear that their guy will find someone better. Let her know that you care for her like lizzi said, but still keep your friends, friends are very important!
