I have recently met someone who I really like. We have so much in common, get on really well and have a very similar outlook on life.
On paper he is really ideal (so far). The only thing that makes me worry about the future is that he travels a lot for work and is due to leave the country soon for about 5 months. I have never been in any sort of long distance relationship before and tbh I'm not sure how I will deal with it. The lack of intimacy, just missing him in general and not being able to do anything about it!
Does anyone have any experience with this? How do you deal with it?
I should also say that we are not actually IN a relationship yet because we agreed that, since we didn't meet that long ago and because he is going away, that we would stay in touch while he is away and review the situation when he gets home. But we do both want something when he does get back.
