Yeah, there's still a chance it won't work out, Cecilia, but that chance exists for
any relationship, long distance or not - any parameters. Of course I won't deny that long distance relationships can be more strenuous for various reasons, especially in the beginning, but I don't think it shouldn't be tried just because there's a chance it won't work out. I don't think AndyDT should be deterred from this because of that.
I've been in a long distance relationship for around thirteen months now (was just reunited for the first time at the Rudess Japan show
) and it has gone very well for us. Call me mushy, but a large part of the success is due, I believe, to how much we care for each other. One other thing that strengthens matters is the end goal of being in constant vicinity. Long distance relationships can actually be very beneficial, and perhaps it's a great exercise to do in a relationship. As much as I advocate it in that degree, it is not something I'd want to do permanently and I will endeavor in the coming years for the end of that aspect of our relationship.
I say just meet her and see what you think before you end the opportunity without knowing some relevant facts. It might change your life!
