I don't know how this will work... He wants to make it work.

How can I make it work...

I felt I lost my a lot of my friends in High school since they are going far away for college too.

It's over but you can still relate to the problem if any

Of course this is going to be hard. In the end, it really depends on how much you two want it to work. Almost all of my friends who were together in high school ended up breaking up their first year of university. Some of those relationships were 3-4 years in the making. Most of the ones who didn't break up were going to the same college (or still close to each other). Then, there's the one couple I know that is still together and even so, they went through a lot of issues during the school year.

If you want things to work out, you're going to really have to work and fight for it and hope that he's doing the same thing. If you two end up like the many people who broke up, chances are that it really wont be as bad as you're probably expecting it to be. Most of the people I knew who had ended up breaking up with their bf/gf moved on pretty quickly. Just remember that college is full of new experiences and interesting people, so you wont have a lot of time to just dwell and mope around.

People don't think I'm serious because I've never been and a serious relationship like this nor guys take me seriously.

Wait, how long have you two been together? Please specify, otherwise it's hard to know if this relationship is serious enough. Why do you think that guys don't take you seriously? Maybe you need to ask yourself why people think this way of you, because perhaps that's the problem. If you can't prove to others that you're serious when it comes to relationships, then maybe what you have with your current boyfriend isn't as serious as you make it out to be.

As for love... You know, that word has different meanings and it's tossed around a lot. Hell, I even said I loved my boyfriend after dating him for two months. Maybe I didn't know what love is at that time, but I am sure I love him now after 5.5 years.
