JA0371 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Hi guys!! I've been talking to someone long distance for about three months. I flew to New York to meet him last week. I only stayed one night due to our crazy schedules but he paid for my trip, and my hotel since I had to go to him. I will be honest in saying that we were intimate, and I have no regrets. It was actually a great night. The next morning he had to work but came back to see me off mid morning. Not sure where it's going...but he treats me very well. Calls, texts evey chance he gets. He's a pretty busy guy with a busy career. I also have a fairly busy life here. He comes to my state frequently in the winter to golf so future trips are likely. I do t need any advice..just wanted to post a positive update on my LDR. For now, Im enjoying the journey.....without trying to even figure out the ending. Maybe that's the best way....

JA0371 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Are you open to dating others? Is he? Im open....but not interested right now. I really like him....and he says the same thing. Hopefully we will see each other again In the next couple of months and I will be a little more decided by then. Link to comment
Gary Snyder Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 So that's the first time you met him? Sounds like you had a great date. The only problem with LDR's is, sometimes they don't work out. Plus, you hardly ever see your partner. I hope it works out for you. Link to comment
TMifune Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 ...but he paid for my trip, and my hotel since I had to go to him. It doesn't concern you that someone (who I'm assuming you're meeting for the first time) would be willing to plunk down $500+ to see you for a single evening? Link to comment

Nope. Im an adult and we discussed it. I made the trip with my eyes wide open. It was that or wait months longer. We were both ready... No regrets. Link to comment
boltnrun Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I think it's better than expecting you to shell out all the $$. I actually think it was decent of him. I presume you'll get a chance to return the favor. Link to comment
limichelle Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Hey that sounds awesome! I'm glad you had a good time! Sounds like you guys are off to a great start! Lisa Link to comment

I presume you'll get a chance to return the favor. Yes... I will. He used to live in my city so when he visits I'll be able to host him. For the record, I did offer to pay for the trip but he really wanted to because I was the one who had to travel and take off work. I bought him dinner the night we met. Link to comment
abitbroken Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Does he live somewhere that you would consider moving to if it really works out, or would he move to your town? Or are you just seeing this as something fun/positive for now. Link to comment

Let's just say he's not the savviest dater there is. But she really put herself out there too..... taking time off from work to meet a stranger...... I realize they were talking for three months, but you never know if you are really attracted to someone before you meet, so it's a big risk. She did offer to pay for the trip, and it's nice that she bought dinner. Besides, maybe he's rich? But hey, alls well that ends well! Wait....... if he's rich, can I have his number? Link to comment

He's well off....but that's not the reason Im into him. Believe me...this was not something I went looking for. Lol. LDR are certainly not the easiest to be in...so I am just enjoying the experience for what it is. Link to comment
Jenks Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I like enjoying it without knowing the ending. Or rather, without worrying about it. I need to take a page out of your book. Link to comment
melangey Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Wow. Congrats! I wish you both well. I think my LDR is ending and I'm miserable. Link to comment
