Divorced for 14 years, currently in a 2.5 hour apart long-distance relationship. She does most of the driving, drives here on weekends.
Casually dating and loving it.
A friend set me up with a girl 3 years ago but we never went out. A couple of months ago she decided she wants to date me so we’ve been talking but I live 1000 miles away so we’re kind of doing the long distance thing but very casually.
This weekend I met a great girl who live 500 miles from me currently and in about a month will live 150 miles away. I hoping to go see her this weekend so I can drop #1 and start a long distance thing with her. I’m still looking for a girl who is local so even this will probably be a casual thing.
It’s funny, I very rarely have people offer to set me up with someone. Like, twice in the last 20 years maybe?
Back in early December I met a really nice woman. We went out on a date that was very nice. We went out on a 2nd date that she rated A++. We sort of lost track of each other over the holidays, but then went on a date in January. It was extremely lackluster. She called a couple of days later to say it wasn’t working out. I couldn’t agree more. Too bad, it looked like we had a lot of potential.
I never heard from her again.
Until yesterday.
She e-mailed to say she has a friend who is very interested in me. She included the friend’s phone number. This raises a lot of questions, like how this came up, and what kind of woman she thinks I should be dating.
I was set up with a long-distance girl once (my friend’s cousin, about 850 miles away). Here’s how it worked out:
Early November: first email
Late November: first phone call
Mid December: first meeting (my city)
Late Decemer: second meeting (her city)
January: I see her every two weeks (her city)
Mid February: I meet her parents, propose, she accepts
March: She meets my parents
May: I move to her city
September: wedding (9 1/2 years ago)
So you could say it worked out all right.
The sort that doesn’t do second dates, presumably.
I am engaged. We have been together for 9 of the last 11 years (broke up in the middle and got back together). We live together with our two puppies.
Other. Several amazing friends with incredible benefits.
I went with single since I am. There is someone I am interested in, but she is 4700 miles away, with an ocean between, so I have not told her of my interest or done more than exchanged emails. When things improve, I will probably try my luck. Worst I could do is destroy a budding friendship. Again. :smack:
