So, this took place nearly a year ago. So, I'd love HurtDude to come back and update us on what's happened. Let me say this, though. Had this been more recent, I would have told you that you're setting yourself up for heartbreak. She's been with only one guy, same guy for 7 years. She's never known anyone else. Now, she's across the country, at school, meeting new people and experiencing situations she never knew existed. She's in a new state of discovery. She's trying to discover herself and trying on new personaes.

The excitement and proximity has gone out of her current relationship. She sees you. You're new and exciting, s she follows her passion. She gets involved with you. But, my friend, odds are she has these long, deep bonds with her boyfriend. Even if the excitement is gone, true love is what usually rises above the ashes.

Unless the two of you discover (after a significant amount of time) that it's more than passion, and it's love, she will eventually go back to her boyfriend, having "experimented" with someone else.

Is this a guarantee? No. True love has happened for folks in situations like yours, but it's rare. What I would do, is TRY not to get too emotionally attached (I know, easier said than done). And, try to see this as a good time. Let her call the shots. If she ends up breaking up with her guy and comes running to you, then you decide if this is something you want (which it seems, it is).
