Long Distance Dating

Long distance dating.  Does it work?  Doesn’t it work

It depends on the situation and it depends on how much effort you want to put in to it.

Most of my dating has been done out of town.  Why?  Because the type and quality of men that I look for are not in my immediate area.  I like being able to get away for a night or a weekend and what better reason than to go see the guy I’m dating?

Long distance dating allows you to still keep your privacy and independance.  You don’t have to worry about him showing up on your doorstep unexpectedly most times.  He’s not going to calling you 24/7 to keep tabs on you.  You don’t have to worry about bumping into people you know if you don’t want anyone to know about this guy yet.

Once the relationship progresses and you’ve decided you are going to keep him around a bit, the advantage of long distance dating is that abscence makes the heart grow fonder.  You don’t get burnt out from seeing each other too much.  You get excited for the next time you will see each other.  It amounts to Quality Time not Quantity Time.  The distance allows the relationship to progress at a healthy pace.  Instead of seeing each other every day for four weeks and getting burnt out, you see each other a few times a month and get to grow to like and appreciate each other.

Another way long distance dating works: 

If you decide you don’t like the guy, or the relationship just isn’t going to work… he’s got a fair distance to drive to stalk you!

Just kidding.  But it is true that a distance break up is easier than a local one because it is highly unlikely that you will bump into him anywhere locally that you go.

If you can think of any other pros to long distance dating, give me a shout!  I’ll post them here!

Happy October!
