I also agree with KSUViolet. Eventually, somebody is going to have to relocate, especially if you guys see it getting serious.
My boyfriend and I met 11 months ago. I was living in Atlanta and he was living in Texas...so that's a LOT of distance, but we still managed to see each other every other month (we both traveled to each other's respective state). Eventually I was the one who decided to relocate to Texas. I got my Americorps position in San Marcos.
We're STILL long distance, LOL because he attends Stephen F. Austin in Nacogdoches which is 4 hours away now
but that's better than 12+ hours
but now I can visit every other weekend.
One thing I can say about LDR's is that there has to be a tremendous amount of trust involved because you don't see each other all the time. I've also learned to communicate my needs and concerns better too. This is my first LDR too, so I'm still learning as I go.
