WWWTF OT: Relationship advice, Who better to ask than 914 clubbers? Options

[ninefourteener]

Ok..... so I had a SERIOUSLY weird weekend.

Long story short: My best friend lives in Dayton Ohio. The friend that knows everything. The friend you trust with your innermost secrets. The friend that you're not afraid to tell anything and everything to........ the friend that you've had for almost 2 years, but never actually met in person.

Um..... so yea..... she and 2 of her girlfriends came out to spend the weekend with me.

Lets just say I had a REALLY, REALLY good weekend. So good that this woman and I are confessing our love to eachother, planning trips to visit eachother, and possibly even arranging for her to transfer jobs from Dayton to St. Louis.

Trust me.... I REALLY like being single, and I do not take the word "love" lightly. However.. if I were EVER to get remarried... I can't think of a better woman than this one... Trust me, I've met a few--LOL

Ok.... now I've just opened myself to all kinds of humiliation, and "Shut up, you pussy" comments--LMFAO.. but whatever.. I can take it.

QUESTION: So what do I do? Anyone else ever made a long distance relationship work? Do I roll with this? Or do I come back down out of space, and get realistic?

Seriously!! WTF?!?!?! I date half the women in St. Louis, then I find the perfect woman.. and she's 6 hours away. Grr

Advice??

Oh yea..... and she LOVES the Teener.... so you KNOW this chick rocks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I've done the internet thing and I've done the long distance thing... neither worked out I'm not saying they won't work for you, but I met some of the best psychos like that, and you are a self-professed psycho-magnet!... I'll never do either of those things again

I also dated the person that I saw as a great friend for a LONG time(letters and visits for 6+ years before anything happened) that didn't do anything except ruin a great friendship...

if you take it slow, you can do it, the long distance thing sucks, and you HAVE to be 1000% secure that you can trust her... and her you... that is a lot of trust for the early beginnings of a relationship... but the taking it slow thing is a big thing too, you are already talking about her relocating and planning trips... that seems too fast!

take it slow, have fun and give it a shot, but keep reality in mind too... there are going to be times when you don't see each other for months... and that sucks for both of you!

shameless plug:
if you decide to do it, look into a long distance company that has a flat rate ($40 unlimited domestic LD) I can hook you up with that if you need.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
