If I told my boyfriend I just want to be friends until after college, how would he react? I love him, but I need to focus on school. I only have a couple more months till I graduate from high school. how can I tell him, so that we can still be friends? And possibly get back together after college.well after high school hes going to go on a trip around the world with his best friend and his brother, so he wont be there when I need him. that is why Im doing this now, so we can both finish school.
