meisje Posted June 12, 2005 Posted June 12, 2005 I'd like some opinions on how to bring up the possibility of having a long-distance relationship with someone. I've been dating him for about 2 months, but just very casually. In about a week he is moving and will live over an hour away from me. I want to keep seeing him, and think that he is interested in me enough to think about having long-distance thing. I just don't want to put him on the spot and create one of those horrible "we need to talk" moments. How is a good way to bring this topic up and let him know that I would be willing to put in that effort to see him -- without seeming too forward or putting pressure on him (since we've only been dating casually so far).
Dream_iz_36 Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Meisje I am in an long distance relationship and have been for about 14 months. It is a little difficult, but we both want it to work. He lives about a hour and half away from me and we just talk everyday, several times a day. Then on the weekends we spend them together. We make the most of every minute we have. If this is something you really want to continue, you really need to have that talk. It doesn't need to be a bad thing. Keep it light hearted and just let him know these are things that are running through your head and you want to know what he feels about the situation. It really takes work, but sometimes I really believe "absence makes the heart grow fonder." Besides that an hour away really isn't all that far, you could even meet half way for dinner during the week. Enjoy every moment together is the key. Best of luck to you. Brandi
