Dear Misty, I am a senior in high school. Over the summer I met this boy. We got very close. We both ended up liking each other. Unfortunatley he had to leave for college. Now that is he gone, he barely talks to me. Should I wait around for him?

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At that age... EVERY YEAR IS A HUGE MILESTONE.... and there is a BIG Difference between fresh / soph / jr and sr years let alone College....

MOST PEOPLE when they go off to college the become Completely different people... (ESP if they leave their home town)
I'm sure he doesn't mean any harm... but once in college there's MANY NEW THINGS.... NEW PEOPLE NEW EXPERIENCES.... I'm sure he doesn't want to hurt you.... but he cannot help but get distracted. If I were you.... Id let him drift off.. and I too would drift off... and be thankful for the time you do get to talk to him... and hopefully he will come home for spring break etc..

and maybe you can hang out then...
