Aloros Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 I'm at a point where I'm unhappy at my job and am looking for a new one. I've only been looking in my current area, but a few days ago, my brother mentioned that the company he works for, in San Francisco, had some new openings. My brother would put in a good word for me, and I know that I interview well, so I'm fairly certain I could get the job. I LOVE San Francisco. I've wanted to live there for a while, and the job with my brother's company pays a good deal of money, so I'd be able to live quite comfortably. On the other hand, the city I live in is starting to grow on me. That, and I'm five months into a relationship with a man I absolutely adore. I've known him for about a year, but due to circumstances, we didn't start dating until recently. Funny thing is, we each had a massive crush on the other. He's smart, funny, well-educated, sexy as hell, and treats me so well. On my checklist of what I want in a guy, he snags every single one, plus some "extras" . I genuinely like who I am around him (which is such a relief, because I HATED what I was like when I was around my most recent ex). I honestly think this could be it. His friend has decided to buy a house in the area, which sparked a discussion between the two of us (we both rent). We both love San Francisco, but the prices are so high, it's near impossible to own a place there. He's been tentatively looking around at prices in the area, and has found some houses in the mid $200k that he wants me to take a look at with him. I could see myself settling down here, with him, but I'm afraid to pass up this job opportunity. What if we don't end up together, and I'm kicking myself for not moving to San Francisco? Both my brother and sister, my two best friends in the world, live there. Physical intimacy is an important part of a relationship to me, so I just couldn't see myself doing the long distance thing. I'm tempted to tell my brother "forget it", but I'm also tempted to submit my resume just for the hell of it, and then make a decision later.
