That's great Kieran, and I hope it continues to be a relationship you can both grow into, but you should not overlook the fact that you are a statistical anomaly. The VAST majority of high school relationships end by summer of senior year and those that attempt to carry on, end by the following summer. There is just too much physical and emotional change going through a person between 15 and 19 to start some kind of a rock-solid relationship, and far too many chances to meet someone new in college that suddenly has more in common with you than the girl or guy they left behind... again, for most people. There are always exceptions. The occasional couple that meets in high school, gets married and has a happy life together. I would guess that number is close to 1 couple in every in 300. Maybe 500. Seriously.
