Should I do a long distance relationship with my gf?

you're only three hours apart you can see each other every week

LDRs aren't usually successful... Of course, it might keep your relationship with her going for a little bit but everyone I know who has tried to make that work has failed. But you could try seeing each other every week and skyping or something like that?

If you want to try, go ahead. But don't get your hopes up. If it doesn't seem like she's putting in enough effort, or if she joins a sorority, dump her on the spot.

My gf is 10 hours away, we've been dating for 4 months and spent two weekends with each other. It is going really well but she is planning on moving up here in December. If she is going to this college for like 4 years it's gonna be really hard but if you think it could work out, I say go for it.

yes and no

yes because you seem to have a good thing going on
no because you are willing to give that good thing up because of a not so large distance

As a general rule, no, but they can work.

Was in a LDR for the first three years of college, actually also dated her for a few months before college like you. But I ended up being deeply depressed and built this safe bubble around myself. Part of that crutch was feeling safe in that relationship.

If you do choose to do it, just make sure you grow as your own person, too. You can still go do college-y things and make friends and do dumb fun shit. Don't let yourself be too consumed by the relationship. Live your own life apart from her. If you can't do both, don't.

I legitimately can not stress that enough.

A three-hour trip isn't actually that bad at all... My current gf and I are in this exact spot and things are fine and dandy, though I also have a vehicle and can make weekend trips and whatnot. Really it's just a matter of seeing each other at somewhat regular intervals.

A word of warning though; if for whatever reason she becomes distant and unwilling to put in the same kind of effort you are, drop her. Had an ex that came down to the same uni I'm at but she ended things because she wanted to "see who she was being single." It's a mentality that a lot of people get when going off to post-secondary and is much more of a concern than distance imo.

Best wishes to ya, OP.

Three hours is absolutely nothing. Is there a question here at all?

You also have the opportunity to explore a relationship where you'll see less of each other, but not too little. That could be a nice change of pace.

It was ok for about the first two months then as I kept myself isolated from other girls unknown to me my ex accepted the invitations from guy "friends". If you had been together for 3 years not 3 months and had a brief separation it may be different but within 3 months you will have been apart more than together. Don't waste your time.
