Love help: I am a high school senior from Iowa that is planning to attend college on the east coast next year.

This post left anonymously

I am a high school senior from Iowa that is planning to attend college on the east coast next year.

I have never had a boyfriend both because it has never been convenient and because I have never found someone right for me. Well, I found someone. Problem: I leave in two months. Should I just continue to try to ignore my feelings (and, I suspect, his) to save us pain later? Or is two months of happiness better than nothing? Will I regret it if I don’t try? Or will I regret leaving if I do?

I think if you found someone like…soon…ie within the next week, id go for the fun…
