I’ve been seeing this guy for about a month now. Things have been great...I find him very attractive and he treats me so well. As he currently lives an hour away and I was not seeking anything long distance at the time we met, I did not intend to start a relationship with him. But when he started talking to me I decided to give him a shot since he seemed like a really nice and attractive guy. I treated the whole thing as a fun affair...slept with him, etc. But it turned out that the more we talked and spent time with each other, the more feelings we had for each other. We would talk every day, send cute texts here and there, on Valentine's Day he put together a gift basket containing my favorite things...just little things that would make me melt. Because of my past experiences, I thought he would have withdrawn and/or disappeared after we slept together. Instead, not only did he stick around, his feelings for me seem to be growing more and more. And I find myself falling for him and can see myself in a relationship with him.

 

However...

 

He found out his job will be taking him three states away. He will be leaving next week. We are currently not exclusive. I don’t know what to do at this point. We’re technically long distance now and we’ve been able to work it out, as our feelings for each other are that strong. But would it be foolish to start a relationship after he moves to his new city? How should I handle this?

HI, ithis happend to me exactly one year ago. Basically met and fell inlove with the man of my dreams. Things were amazing for 6 months (we had been friends a year prior) then he found out he had a job transfer that would take him 1500kms away. It was an amzing opportunity for him and he had to do it. The night he left and drove away from my house was absolutely awful I had lost my best friend and the man i had like since the minute we met. He was very upset too, it was hard on us both.



 

We tried log distance for 3 weeks...pretty bad huh??? i couldn't do it. i had to adjust to my life without him here all the time. I regret my decision to give up though.... but who knows. I was just too weak at the time. my heart ached for him.

 

i still think about him every day and we send the odd text but it's pretty much lost now.

 

Obvioulsy i was deeper in than you are but if you really like him maybe give it a go. Could you move to be with him in future??
