This has been discussed before, but still would like feedback. If the person you like (met her on-line), meeting this weekend, is over 2 hours away, is it worth pursing?
Here's what I mean by that: In a new relationship, my experience has been, seeing each other often builds the relationship. A weekend relationship? And, honestly, I can't do the trip thing every weekend because I have stuff to do. Who has time to do the drive/meet every weekend? I understand that if it develops, then stayovers come into play and it becomes better.
Maybe I'm just nervous, tired and not thinking clearly?

just go for it, as long as neither of you are trees...you can move...eventually...quit thinking and just do it!!!

2 hours is nothing, man. I drive about that much every day for work.

^^^^ gets my vote


2 hrs is nothin seriously..........and just think how much excitement builds if you can't see each other every weekend!!!!!!!!! and when it gets to the point you want to see her that much......you won't mind the 2 hrs


i will give you some advice i recently handed out to a friend of mine...........BREATHE!!!! you are rushing things, this is just a meet ......quit planning your life already!!!! it's worth pursuing because there is an interest.....if you meet and hit it off wooohooo cool keep goin...........if you don't oh well no harm no foul and you had a (hopefully) good weekend out of it!!!


Never hurts to try

I've run into this with some of the guys I've contacted who live 3 hours away. I really see no problem because I kinda foresee weekend trips with stay overs once we know things are going the right direction. The initial meet could be somewhere in the middle, but I certainly wouldn't mind trade off weekend trips because I'm sure there's things to do on both ends. Plus it gives you the week to basically do what you want & have your space.

Good advise

2108 miles. That, folks, is why the make planes.

I have said before,who are we to designate fate,if you don't believe in fate then stay safely at home if you want to take a leap which is required in almost every relationship then go for it,revolve around your world,it already revolves around you.I for one would leap!if it looked worth it,jmo.

Excellent advice. I'm so pathetic I have to keep reading these over and over just to stop myself so I won't keep thinking up reasons why I shouldn't and just do it.
We talk on the phone every night and, well it's just really, really, really good so far.
What the ... is wrong with me? Maybe because my heart got ripped out about 4 months ago and I'm a bit gun shy.
OMG I'm a mess.

The guy I am crazy in love with lives three hrs away right now, but is moving down by me on the first of March. So yes can work.

FOUR MONTHS?!?!?!?! YOU BASTARD!!! I've been single for over a YEAR. I've had ONE date, and she told me after dinner that she had herpes!!! Jesus an, get in your freaking car and GO GO GO GO GO!!!


BTW......I didn't do anything with the herpes girl, ladies, I'm clean.....LOLOLOLOL

Classic,
Actually, should've added I have always received great advice from you. It truly can work. I have to start being positive, then the outcome will be positive. If I stay negative, I've already ruined it before it even develops.

Thanks Goose.

I know you are afraid of getting hurt again. Been there done that. Have made up excuses myself not to meet someone. It gets better. It has been 4 yrs since I have had a "serious" relationship. So just take it slow and if you think it's worth it go for it!!!

and actually wasn't even looking when I met Mike. Just kind of snuck up on me. Almost didn't meet him either.

You must not be that interested in her

2 hours away? that's it?

that is practically someone local, my friend. People travel the world over for that special person what is two hours? JMO

A whole year??? My last serious relationship was 18 years ago... lots of dates and 6 week romances, but no one serious...

If driving is all you need to do to be with the one you love, it's a no brainer ...try living far enough away that flying is the only way to be together that was the only reasonable option when my gent and I were talking and getting to know one another. But we did not let that stop us
