College/High School Relationships

I don't recommend this sort of relationship in particular, either. The gap between college and high school is too steep. A high school student would have difficulty adapting to a college student's friends and vice-versa. Plus, eventually, they might need to go their separate ways because after the high school student graduates, he or she might not want to go to the same college. In another case, the college student graduates and waits on the high school student before finding a career path and possibly missing the job they might want.

I suggest being pen pals until both of you complete your college plans. After college, there wouldn't be much separating you two except for the age difference (which shouldn't matter too much anyway) and distance. It'll also give you two some time to get to know each other.

How ya doing, buddy?

These may seem like "duh" questions to ask but...

How many years are you away from graduating college? Have you talked to her about this conundrum? Finally, when do you plan on getting married in the long-term (rough estimate is fine)?

I figure some of the answers may help me in dispensing advice.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You should probably start the DTR talk as soon as possible. I'm not saying you should rush the talk, by any means. I'm saying it will be an awkward situation for her if you explain your feelings to her on the relationship if she already decided on going to a college that's distant. Talk to her about your job, marriage, and overall future. She needs to know what sort of situation the both of you are in before she plans on a future or final commitment. You also need to listen to what she has to say. Make sure she knows her opinions matter, too. Basically, you two need to find a realistic compromise for the upcoming years.

I'm still not completely for this relationship, but I hope the advice helps.
