Main reason i dont want to start a relationship at the moment, not that i have any doubt it would work its just the whole distance relationship is a bit concerning for me.
 
I've known a few couples go to uni, all have eventually split and all regret not being single for first year, you basically need to be single for first year, uni will be 100x better, unless you dont enjoy sex of course.

And me implying that I'm going to take your gf's bum cherry then wittering on about my hair was on topic?! :/

Lighten up, fella :)

I broke up with my girlfriend before going to uni, figured the distance (Cambridge - Edinburgh) was a bit much and we wouldn't get time together. As it was, we got back together in my gap year, so I ended up in a long distance relationship.

It's been fine, actually. We're both pretty independent people, got our own groups of friends and do our own thing, then keep in touch. I couldn't face phone calls every day, but she doesn't demand that (actually, I'm not sure I phoned her more than once or twice a year), and one of us goes to visit the other every month or so, then we spend the holidays living or travelling together. Works pretty well really, if you can avoid drunken temptation :p

I think, and this is only a guess, that the beardy fellow is referring to your habit of bumping dead threads for no discernable reason.

I didn't have a girlfriend when I went to university but from friends most split up relatively soon after going to university. It sounds glib but most people seemed to form new relationships relatively quickly, either that or they discovered drinking heavily and that got them through.
 
I've seen 1 that worked, they are married one with a kid.

The rest all broken up because of the distance together with the temptation of the university scene and weak minds.
 
Hopefully it will go well for me. I really, really like her, and she feels the same, although we haven't been going out for a long time.

Her going travelling for a month has kinda got me ready for the long distance thing though.

I'm at Bath, she's at CSM in London, so it's ~2hrs by train, and with a student railcard only £16 return for a weeked if booked more than a week in advance, so hopefully it won't be too bad. :)
 
Going to Uni with a girlfriend is like...going to an all you can eat banquet at a top London restaurant, not eating anything on offer, but nipping out in-between courses to grab a quick kebab.
 
I think the only way to find out is to try, as every couple is different. Offhand though, the only couple I can think of who are still together now were really shaky for a long time because he wanted to "have some fun", the rest split up a long time ago.
