Dating : Should I ask her to be long distance?
About 3 months ago I (21M) moved across the country and my then girlfriend (21F) and I never really talked about us we just left it open ended kinda like we’ll see how things go. We were only dating for about 2-3 months at the time and didn’t really know what to do. Since then we’ve talked every single day and I’m going down to see her soon. I’m thinking of asking her to date long distance, but I don’t know when we’d be able to live near each other again. I’m moving again within a year, and it may be as close as 20 minutes from her, or may be 10 states over it just depends on where the place I get offered is. Can anyone who’s tried long distance give me advice?
TLDR: I really like this girl, but I don’t know if we’ll be able to make it work because of distance.
long distance almost never works play the odds be smart avoid it
Open ended long distance is extremely difficult.
If you have a plan to close the distance within a year or two, it can work out. Still tough, but you have a goal.
That said, you’re both still quite young, and could change throughout your time apart. You also weren’t together all that long to begin with.
Might be better to just keep in contact and try to reignite things if you do get moved back. Or discuss it with her, she may not want to. Take a look at /r/LongDistance . There’s success stories as well as break ups.
How far are you now? And how mobile is her job?
