Case of Bad Timing

[jleigh79]

Hi Guys =)

Well, things in my life have been nuts. Between taking my boards (I'm an Occupational Therapist) and getting ready to relocate, I've been in a whirlwind =)

Anyway, I've met this guy. This guy is the first guy I've been interested in since my year-long relationship ended in October. He's sweet, cute, funny, smart, has a good job, and the complete opposite of my ex (younger, still in school and treated me with indifference--I'm describing the ex here ;-)). We met last Monday (via friends), did a big group thing on Friday, had a date on Sunday and pretty much either talked or seen each other every day since then. He makes me so happy, in fact, I can't remember ever being this happy about anyone. Now here's the bad part. I'm moving in a month and a half approximately 4 hours away. It sucks :mad:. I finally meet someone, I'm finally interested in someone, he's everything I want... and I'm moving.

So, I have a question. Has anyone been in this situation before? and if you have, how did you handle it? Any advice in this new territory for me =)

Thanks guys for listening... I'd appreicate any response :D

That's funny (not funny ha ha, funny ironic) because a very close friend of mine had that very same situation last year. We talked about it and I said to her that I thought maybe this guy wasn't REALLY everything she was making him out to be. He was a nice guy but not the heart pounding soul mate that she was acting like he was. I told her that I thought maybe she was nervous about moving (it's a big step!) and was expressing all of her nervousness, fear and trepidation in this relationship. Saying "I'm afraid to move away" is not something that adults can do but if you said "I am unsure about this move because I finally found someone that I really love" people would be more understanding.

She moved, got settled in her new life, tried to have a long distance relationship, it lasted less than a month. They just didn't have much in common when they left.

So, I'm not saying that this is your situation. But it was definately the case with my friend.
