KillarneyRose and I have already spoken about this, but I thought i'd start a thread.
I met an absolutely wonderful guy this weekend at a wedding (the bride's mother and his sister have been setting up a little matchmaking here for a few months)- we hung out all night of the wedding and all the next day. He's in the navy (went to the Academy) and lives in Seattle (i'm in Pittsburgh).
So I guess my questions are:
Advice for dating a guy in the military?
How do you deal when he's away? (at least he's on a sub... so when he's out, he's underwater the whole time... not docking anywhere to get in trouble with some Thai hookers
)
Any general advice for starting a long distance relationship (i've never had one!) in this sort of context?
He's already made a great effort to get things going- has called me everyday (even this morning!) and we've been emailing frequently. I was skeptical that maybe it was just a fun little flingy-type thing, but he's really impressed me, and I definately think he's worth it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
