What do girls think about guys who go away to college on the other part of the country? Is it attractive?

I don't think so because you don't know what, or who that person is doing while he's out of town. If you want him to be faithful, i think u should stick with someone close by.

I love it.  But I go there.\n\nLots of different people, (different then what I'm used to), college town atmosphere, lots of events, lots of spirit, a "best buy", great people, helpful professors, and much more.\n\nI'd be happy to tell you more about it.

A short story about this topic:\n\nMy male cousin went to my school and was the "hot" guy.  He would not talk to me because I was a nerd.  He went to the same university as I did.  One day I saw him on campus walking alone and looking so dejected.  He wasn't the "hot" guy anymore.  He was just another student among 20,000 other students.  He could not handle it and dropped out of college to get a menial job in our hometown where he could be the "former hot" guy.  \n\nThe moral of the story:  Intelligence and personality will get you farther in life than good looks alone.

Nope!!!\n\nI'm glad too because it'll keep me focused on more important things like high school, friends, and family.\n\nI only have four more years at home and with my close friends...and I don't want to waste those years by making someone who probably won't end up with me at the end..a priority!\n\nBascially, right now, I just wanna have fun in high school, meet new people and make new friends, get good grades to get me into a good college, spend time with family, and not sweat the pointless stuff!\n\nTo wrap up my answer, I don't have one & I'm proud/happy about it tooo! =]]

When you both go to college, all bets are off... Just enjoy the two years you have left...and when college starts, trust me, you won't have this problem anymore...

oh.... I do not see why you would have any problem meeting a wonderful girl!!  you have traveled and most likely learned much about life and people, you are not afraid to work hard, your are going to college  I presume to further your career,you are independent and  have your own transportation... you are on the right track n life ... the only obstacle  I could see is the part time job, which may discourage some women, but not all... Some women will see that you are  going to school and understand how difficult that is with a full time job , and  see that you are a good guy, doing your best, and will have faith in you and your future together...and stand by your side.as long as you have a good personality are an honest, loving, warm,intelligent guy with a sense of humor, you will attract  someone special... so a relationship yes... but not marriage yet, not until your out of school , have a full time job, and you are both ready for that step... my best wishes to you !

Maybe they do like you and you're too caught up in self-consciousness to realize it. Or maybe they're just too stupid to know that redheads rule. Everybody here is gonna tell you that looks don't matter. They're lying. None of them would ever date someone they didn't find physically attractive. People will hate me for saying that, but it's true. I don't know what you mean by "an average body," but it doesn't really matter. You know if you look nice or not. Regardless, assuming you're in high school and assuming nobody there really is attracted to you (which I doubt), eventually you'll graduate. Go to college. You'll find the scene is completely different there. One more thing. I hope you're not being narrow-minded about the guys you're interested in. There's probably some reserved, nice guy out there, maybe not Mr. Universe, but not bad-looking either who would love to take you out but is scared to death to say anything. Give him a shot. Oh yeah...try taking the initiative and asking a few guys out yourself.

It depends on which part of China u are studying in.The rural parts?Or what?It's good if you could get your own local food there.It's not that good if they only have China food.it depends whether u suit the weather there or not.And it depends if you will get irritated by the lecturer's slang and by their biasness.But,it's good if you are out of your own country and looking at the world outside.I'm currently studying overseas as well..And i don't like this place at all..But my friends here make me want to stay.It all depends on yourself.

One of the best guys I ever dated was not the best looking, in fact he was kind of ugly!!  But he was the most fun guy ever!!  We are friends still 20 yrs out of high school and he is really, really successful!!  I say make your move, worst that will happen is you flatter him, but don't sit back and let the opportunity pass you by!!\nBy the way I was a junior and he was a senior when we dated!!

I was in the same situation as you..\nat the end of high school I had a million people telling me I had all the potential, and where was I going to college? \nI had mixed feelings about all this..  should I just go to make every one else happy? or what?  ..\n I decided that college wasn't the right thing for right away.. mostly because I didn't have any money and I was afraid of spending money on something I wasn't really sure I wanted to do anyway...\nIt took me one year out of High school to realize how much I missed being in school and missed the interaction with peers and all that...\n I also came to a realization that I really did have a passion in life and I finally decided to peruse it regardless of what other people told me about women in the profession... I moved 3000 miles to the other side of the country.. I took a huge risk in asking my BF of 4 years at that point to come with me or loose me... and I am now in my 3rd out of 5 yrs in architecture school and I am actually ranked 1st in my class.....\nmy point in telling my "life story" is that some times you just need some time to yourself to step back and reflect on where and who you are..  I know it sounds cheesy but during that year off I learned  a llot about "the real world" and myself and knew that I could do better than $8.25/hr at my local retail store ...  good luck.. you sound like an intelligent girl, trying to make the right decision...\nmy advice is talk to your parents but don't feel as though you are disappointing them if you don't want the same thing as them.. look into some colleges or even some certificate programs.. like massage therapy and other one year programs.. most community colleges have them...  see if you are finding anything you are interested in... if not there is nothing wrong with taking a year off.. and besides that year will be a good time to save money if you do decide to go to college....but like I said you are an intelligent person.. you just have to find "your thing"    good luck in life :)\n but like the other girl said ..  college is a great experience and you don't want to regret never going... or at least trying :)

I was really bored the first semester my third year in college, so I did a semester abroad in London during the second semester that year. It was the right thing for me. It was a change of pace, I got to experience life in another country and I didn't have to take time off from college, so I still graduated on time. The one downside was that I was a broke college student in a fairly expensive city, but that turned out to be a minor issue. On the whole I'd recommend it. Most schools have or participate in study abroad programs and most involve some sort of life experience component and a reduced (or fairly light) class schedule.  You might want to look into it.

My friend is in the same situation as you are except she has college as an excuse.  In her case she is positive that the guy is what he says he is and she chose her college based on where he lives.  Keep in mind they've talked for at least 3 years online and by phone.  I'm still uneasy about letting her go there alone to see him for the first time up close and in the flesh.  You might want to consider holding off ur visit until u truly know who he is.  If u are insistent about going, then maybe you could ask a close friend to go with u as a precaution.  As for your mom, I would describe him as sort of a pen pal.

I think it all depends on what part of the US you are wanting to work in. There are some places where you will thrive with the degree and other places you will flounder.

Yes break up with him. You may decide later not to go to college in CA or you may not get into any colleges in CA. You are only 16 so break up with him but you can stay friends and email him every now and again or chat with him occasionally on AIM etc. He will most likely see other girls after you move anyway so break up with him so you are free to date other guys and so it wont matter if he dates other girls.

If you moved from Michigan to be with her because you love her, her going away to college shouldn't matter if your love is really. because no matter how far away you are from each other your love will always be their. you should be  proud of her and encouraging her for wanting to make a better life for the both of you. let her know that you are behind her 100% no matter what her decision is and that you will always love her and be there for her that is how strong your love is for her. if it's meant to be it will be no matter how far away you are, this is a test of your love.

It depends.  There are parts of the country I have no interest in moving to--like the Northeast and California.  However, I came from Oklahoma/Texas area and thought I'd never move from there but I got a good job offer on the East Coast so now I am here.
