Hmm, six months ago, I would have spouted some stupid crap about "true love can get through everything" and then thought to myself "Gee, I'm glad my SO lives 45 minutes away"...
But since then, I lost the local girl, and ended up meeting someone online that lives about 850 miles away. At first, it was just a friend...someone with similar interests to chat with...
Slowly though, we both started to acknowledge that we had feelings for each other, which have recently become very strong. However, we both realize that the logistics of trying to maintain an actual relationship over that distance wouldn't be something that either of us desired.
The answer? For right now, we're still dating other people, and I'm making the trip about 2-3 times a month to go see her. We've just decided to see how things go for the next few months, and at the end of the summer, it's highly possible that I'm going to relocate to her general area.
We've decided that we're going to hold off on making anything "offical" or "exclusive" until we can maintain a more conventional (local) situation.
Good luck with whatever you choose.
