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)

We took it slow, and dated long distance for about a year. We have been married now for 15 years next month.

Man... that was inspiring.... AWESOME!

Glad you liked it my friend.

I get so sick of the negative people in this world who's apparent mission in life is to convince everyone that relationships can't ever be anything more than a ball and chain, because theirs have always been that way. Well, it just ain't true. One of my pet peeves is when you hear someone announce they are getting married, and some asshole spouts off about what a bitch his wife is and what mistake it is to get married. I just wanna punch em. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stfu.gif)
Relationships aren't maintanance free. If you treat them like they are, they fall apart every time. If you and your partner are both willing to work at it, my experience has been that they can be pretty great, whether it is long distance or across the room.

Good luck. If you ever head north, drop me a line.
