I am currently in a long distance relationship, and I am very very happy!!! I was in the same boat as you, a few years ago I was in a “long distance relationship” (of just a 2 hour distance) and when we broke up I told my self that I would never be away from a SO ever again….. but low & behold…. I fell in love with someone that lives 10 hours away! I was worried and scared that I was just being desperate and people would think I was absolutely crazy, but I just took the chance and it really ended up working out for us. We visit each other at least one or twice a month (honestly as much as we can afford) and it has been great! And if we’re not together then we have FaceTime dates and stuff like that. Of course it totally sucks when he can’t come to date parties and formals and just can’t be there in general, but the time we do get to be together makes up for lost time. My advice for you and anyone in this situation is to just go with your gut and take a chance because it could end up being “your person” (even though they don’t live right around the corner)
