<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

My girlfriend and I of almost a year (11 months) have had a great relationship. She is my first relationship, while I am her third relationship. Next Fall we will be entering college , and I feel that we should date and see other people in college so that we discover, individually, who the right person is for one another.  In the end, if we realize that we were right for each other all along we could rekindle our relationship. However, she does not want to seperate. 

The recent post "can you know what love is if you've only dated one person" got me thinking. I agreed with many of the comments. My girlfriend and I do have a loving and trusting relationship and respect and appreciate each other greatly. One commenter said she lost her significant other to having a mentality like this and realized he was the right guy but it was already too late. At the same time, I've read and heard of people regretting their decision to stay with their SO throughout college and thus feeling like they've missed out.
<bot>: I'm torn between exploring other options (to know who is right for me) and staying with the girl I love.
