Well as the subject says, does distance matter? I started talking to a great great woman. She's absolutely beautiful, funny, intelligent. Knows what she wants. She's career minded. The only thing is, we live 5.5 hours apart from each other. We've agreed to keep getting to know each other to see if it's worth meeting. We have so much in common and were none stop talking to each other. Just your thoughts. I have said I'll make the effort on driving their if she can juggle me into her hectic lifestyle for the weekend lol.
But yeah, absolutely amazing woman.

Men do.

So move there it's so real. Don't expect anyone else to think it's real (ie. her) until you do.

Only five and a half hours. That's not bad at all! You can make that work. You can see each other more than twice a year and you dont have to cross an ocean or get a visa. You're still in the comforts and security of your own country. In this case distance is just a small bump in the road. Go for it!
