I think you put it fantastically. If I'd known you (and this) my senior year of high school, I can't even imagine how differently my life might've turned out. I'd started dating a guy in December of that year, and by the time the following August rolled around, we were still undecided about how to proceed once we'd gone off to college (he was going to school in Boston and I'd be in Baltimore -- 9 hour difference). I told him we should still try and he thought we wouldn't be able to do it. I wish I'd taken that as the red flag it was and allowed us to end on good terms (we'd been best friends before our relationship) instead of dragging it out for as long as was possible. It made for a pretty devastating and humiliating end.
Anyhow, I'm glad there are people like you & Sam who prove that long-distance relationships aren't impossible <3
Oh I wish I'd known this earlier too! I once tried to continue a relationship over a long distance with a guy I wasn't sure about and without any plans to move near each other, but luckily he was smart enough to know it wouldn't work. I could also have saved myself some humiliation.
And thank you! <3
I'm convinced that some day you will have a love story that will make the entire world jealous.
Aw you are totally one of my most favorite virtual friends ever too! I would definitely hang out with you if we were ever in each other's area of the country.
From my own experience, I'd add make sure you spend a "decent" amount of time together in person before you make the leap to long distance, regardless of how well you think you know the person. *cough*
Heh yeah I agree with you there. I was thinking of putting that in there, but it's so hard to define what a "decent" time is, and honestly I think you can make the long distance part work even if you've only known each other in person for a few days if you believe you're meant to be together. I just don't know if the rest of the relationship will work. ;)
