Girlfriend and college summer break

[Kerpal]

If you guys are in college and in a relationship, how do you deal with not seeing the girl over summer?

I've been dating this girl for 6 months and like her a lot. She's my first girlfriend and the relationship is great. Lately she's been asking about my plans for summer and almost started crying when I told her I'm not taking classes this summer and won't be here. I don't have anywhere to live in this city over summer and I'm moving in with my dad 1,000 miles away.

Is it even possible to keep a relationship going without really seeing the other person for 4 months (She wants me to come back for her birthday in July and asked if she could come visit me at my dad's for a week), and would I even want to? I'm just confused because I've never been in this situation before. I like her a lot but not seeing her for 4 months is going to be hard, I couldn't really blame myself or her for wanting to hook up with someone else during that time.

That's rough bro. How old are you guys? What is her dating history like?

The reality is that it'll be tough for your relationship to survive the entire summer unscathed until the next quarter/semester UNLESS she is REALLY REALLY into you. And even then after not seeing you for so long, a drunk party night could be all it takes to make either of you sway.

Summer is always a tough time for new relationships anyways, with everyone going back home and so many parties and reunions with old friends. 6 months is definitely not a long time to be together, but could also be a plus in this situation since it seems like the relationship is still in a good phase.

I'd definitely recommend you continue meeting new girls, while not getting overly emotionally attached.

If she really digs you, she'll constantly suggest you come out to visit, while also finding ways to come out to your dad's place.

I'm 23 and she's 21.

Her interest level is still very high even after 6 months. She contacts me first 99% of the time, etc.

She told me part of the reason she's sad about it is not only will I not be around, almost all of her friends will be gone too. I actually felt really sorry for her when she told me this, because she's basically going to be by herself all summer. Also, she doesn't drink and doesn't go out to clubs at all, rarely goes to parties, etc.

Just skype her.

I don't really have a hometown, don't know anyone there, so I've got 0 prospects for summer.

Should I pretty much expect her to be banging other guys while I'm away? Should I just break up with her now and get it over with?
