Situation is:
I don't have a lot of luck with love. I find it hard to meet people and I'm pretty picky.
It's VERY early days but I've met a very very sexy guy. We've had three dates and got more planned. All going well (fingers crossed). He's gorgeous, clever, has a car and a good job. He's pretty dreamy! I've never felt so attracted to anyone EVER. We're well-matched, same age (mid twenties), similar interests etc.
When lockdown started, he had to work from home so moved to live with his parents in a village about 20 mins from me. This works great.
HOWEVER, when his office reopens (whenever that will be, weeks or months) he will be moving back to the city, where he is looking to buy a house. This city is 55 miles away from me, about an hour in the car and nearly 2 hours by train.
I have my own house in my town and a job with another year's contract. No car. I'd want to stay here during the potential relationship, and I'd only want to move there if I was actually moving in with him. And if I got a job there, obviously.
Would you pursue this relationship? I'd love to be his girlfriend and he said being an hour's drive away won't be too bad. But I've never been in a LDR before. What would you do?
I know it's such early days to think about the future like this, but I feel like it needs to be considered ... no point pursuing something destined to fail.
