That you 'meet' someone of a sex that is not your own on a discussion board that has NOTHING to do with dating.  It's about a common interest you have.

You start talking off the board, and get along great.  We're talkin you click like to legos.

You think she's amazingly hot, hilarious, intelligent, dead sexy and every other positive thing you can think of.

She thinks you're cute and funny and a damn good man and lots of other positive things.

You both have ZERO issues with the other person.

Before long you're staying up till 1 am on the phone almost every night, some nights till 3:30

It's obvious feelings are developing on both sides.

Now here is the problem.  You live about  1100 miles apart.

At least one person out of the 2 has said they'd be ok with moving one day.

And income for both, and job for one, would make seeing each other on a semi regular basis rather simple.  

Can it work?




ETA, for the record, the DB in? is NOT our beloved Arfcom so don't try to figure out who I'm talkin about it won't work.

Can you and the other person MAKE it work? Are you willing for it to work?

Nope.

There's lots of fish in the sea, but unless you have a big ass boat then you need to stick with the ones closer to shore.

Exactly, preferably 2 weeks.  You'll know enough after that amount of time to make your decision.  You've got nothing to lose by checking it out!

If you don't go see her and spend enough time with her to know for sure,
you may regret it.

My wife and I were seperated by 1600 miles for almost a year before we could get together permanently.

We've been happily married now for 16 years.

So, jump in that big ass truck of yours and go see her.

Sorta BTDT, and I can say from my own experience and others I have personally known, you don't know JACK about someone till you actually spend FTF type time with em. Not saying it can't work, but it probably won't.

Before we were married, my wife lived in Louisiana and I lived in VA.  I met her on a 'blind date' of sorts when she came up to visit her cousin (a friend of mine) here in VA.   We spent 3 days together, and then hundreds of dollars in long distance calls.  Three months later, I flew down and asked her father for his blessing and asked her to marry me.  Three months later we were married.  That was 10 years ago this December.

I say if you've got a bond with the woman, pursue it.  If she's the one, the distance is an easy fix, and not a hurdle worth not jumping over to find out.

I've had a few long distance relationships... as a rule of thumb:
1. They suck.
2. They don't work.
2b. unless both people honestly want the relationship and don't do stupid shit to undermine it.
2c. or get stupid-paranoid.


So yeah... go for it, but be aware the reality of the long-distance relationship.

I'm sorry Dusty, do your tender sensitivities preclude you from driving a bit?

How much would you get paid for a trip like that?

Is permanent poon worth more than that?

I guess the real question is whether she could deal with you being gone all the damn time.

My wife left me for a guy she met online and your description of the thing sounds just like her affair.  

If she is married, don't destroy anyone else's life for selfish pleasure. If she isn't married, game on, cause it can work out.
