I've dated men both older and younger and believe there's a reason they say age is just a number. Six years? That's nothing. Really.
You'll hear old couples who've been happy for 50+ years both with nothing in common and everything in common. No rules, just grab happiness when you can.
Sometimes someone comes along and all the rules you've been taught must be thrown to the wind. If the relationship endures the four hour separation, chances are that eventually someone will be more motivated to move closer to the other. Don't forget that there's always a potential transfer or a few months of job hunting to solve any supposed problem.
If you both want it enough, it will endure and things will work themselves out. Make sure you talk out any real concerns with her though.
