Dating: when I have a kid 100% time and theres a distance

[mvilma6]

Hi,

I'm a divorce mum working full time with 100% time with my 4 years old. I have met a lovely guy online. He has older kids (20 and 17) that live with the mum and he sees when kids want (some evenings and weekends as they both study and eldest work). He is only 3 years older than me, so nic emassive age gap, i was just an older mummy and he was a young daddy.

We had a fantastic connection online. We met for a coffee yesterday and chemistry was there. We ended up kissing when he walked me to the car. Have not kiss anybody since my divorce 3 years ago. We call for hours at night when my little one is sleep and we text all day long.

He lives 80miles away.

Any positive experiences in similar situation? I'm worried about the distance and little time I have . He knows that, and he says he fully understands and we will make it work. I don't want to ruin something before it even starts .

Thanks for reading xx

Long distance is always a gamble. A mutual desire to shorten the distance over time is usually a good sign. Requires lot's of trust to work as well. You met up on mutual territory or did you drive 80 miles for that coffee? I'd advise you to use your time apart to plan stuff together so there's always something new to look forward to. Stay in regular touch with spontaneous messages, voice notes, video chats, GIFs etc.. People like to feel they're being thought about. Your guy says he's willing to work around your tight schedule that's great, believe him and enjoy building your relationship. Good luck
