ok, so my boyfriend and I are only sophomores in high school. I can not think of any couple that is closer than us. We're in a relationship but we were best friends for a year before that and we've been through a lot together. We were talking about how long we think we will be together and he said he could see us spending the rest of our lives together. I feel the same way. We couldn't think of anything that we wouldn't be able to work out so I think we may actually get married out of college...

People always say that high school relationships never last, but could it?

btw, he is my first boyfriend so I have nothing really to compare it to...

I'm in college and still with my high school boyfriend. Only time can tell if we'll end up staying together, but we're doing well so far.

Forgot to mention that we had been good friends for two years before we got together, so the situation is similar.

You may not end up getting married, but high school relationships do have a potential to last a long time if you guys are really compatible and both willing to stay in the relationship long-term

Its unlikely.

Try not to let it go to the point where you can't even picture a future without me. Trust me, it will hurt like hell when he no longer is.

I don't think that's weird at all.  Highschool relationships may not last forever, but they can last a really long time.  Good for you!  I'm glad you have something special.

Go for it.
Jading yourself with multiple failed relationships is a hell of a lot worse than a failed marriage or committed one.
It might last - it might not. But there's really no logic in refusing to move on in a relationship just because you aren't experienced, when what could really make you happy in the long run is what you already have.

I had a friend with the exact same situation.  He moved in with her senior year.  They lasted 2 months after that.  Good luck.

When you are dating someone who is in tenth grade, you are dating that tenth grader. Sure, you can grow up together, but over time I feel like the two of them are going to grow apart so differently that the relationship is going to break.

My best friends parents just got divorced after a lifetime of resentment, arguing and passive aggressive tendencies, just because they married their high school sweetheart and would rather love the one they were with instead of calling it quits and moving on.

Loads of kids feel attached to their boyfriends/girlfriends, but it usually wears off after time. I know nothing about how solid your relationship is, but keep in mind that even solid relationships can fall apart if they're built on a foundation of lust or infatuation instead of love (and it can be difficult to distinguish infatuation from love; i know from experience).

In most cases these relationships don't last, and more than half of them contain two people who, at one point, felt like they'd be together 'always and forever.'

Then again, I do know of one case that was a success. My cousin started going out with a girl in eighth grade, and now they're both 27 years old, married, and living together happily.

So who knows... my only advice is to keep focusing on your own life and don't make any sacrifices for him yet because it just might fall apart someday, but don't neglect him either, because it just might work out.

My parents got married (well, common law, at least) in their thirties and grew apart and hated each other. Age certainly MIGHT change people, but so does many other things.

And change isn't always bad - my boyfriend has been my best friend since we were 10. We lived in the same small dormitory for 7 years before dating, and we've both changed dramatically many times over the years, and it only drove us closer. Some people grow apart, some get closer, some stay the same. It's a chance worth taking if it means happiness.

I was madly in love with my boyfriend sophomore year, and we were together for nearly a year. Although we're still good friends, we broke up the following summer.

Just goes to show that although it may seem like it will last forever, it might not. Better not to make any sort of commitment right now. It could last, but there's a huge chance that it won't; people do a lot of growing up and changing in high school.
