I feel if the person shares the same expectations go for it.

I don't believe LDR are the best since am going through one rn but my circumstances are completely different

One of my greatest regrets (and have more than most) was giving up on The One That Got Away. He possibly wasn't irl but I will go to my grave wondering What If... Go for it op.
