Hello
My name is Stacey. I just turned 26 this month. I found this site/forum by searching Long Distance Relationships.
I am currently trying to decide if I want to tell the guy I am interested in that I want to put the effort into a LDR.
I met Andrew at a theatre festival a few weeks ago. He was a traveling performer (from BC) and I was a local worker(in Saskatchewan). The day before the festival he came into the office as I was scheduling my shifts. He had this very lost look on his face when the other worker was giving him directions so I offered to show him around.
After I finished showing him around we stood on a street corner talking for an hour. Once I found out he was from BC I told him I was currently planning to move there and he said he attended school in the city I was hoping to move to.
Over the course of the 12-day festival, we spent a lot of time together. We flirted, made out/snogged a few times, I toured him around the city, he gave me advice about moving to a new city, and just had a very good time.
During one of our conversations I mentioned the trip I planned for mid-September to look for work. He said if he hadn't just taken 2 months off work to travel for the festival he'd come down and visit me (which is 3 hours from where he lives).
The last night of the festival we were partying and he offered to walk me back to where I originally parked my car. It was a 20 minute walk from the party and he again asked me about my plans to move to BC.
Once we reached my car it was a very heart felt goodbye. I completely broke down which never happens! He was very comforting.
During the festival I told myself that we were just having some fun, and nothing would come of it because of the distance. We have remained in close contact, and I have developed very strong feelings for him. He told me that even if he didn't make any money, knowing that he helped me made the festival tour worth it.
During my trip coming up I was thinking of taking a day to go a see him. It turns out his birthday falls during my trip and on the same day I have a free day. (I planned this trip before I met him so not intentional).
At little bit of a side note, but I have two (separate) cousins both ended up marrying after having LDRs.. which led me to googling them.
Anyway, I thought I would introduce myself and my situation and see if there is any advice or tips for approaching him with this subject.
Edit: Another note-
I've been in two relationships (lasting a few months each) since my long term relationship ended three years ago, and I hate how physical things were from the start with both of them, they didn't truly know who I was. I like if this were to happen it would force us to really get to know each other.
Even though I am really tempted not to get back on a plane after my trip, I have to unless I find a job out there because of my job here.
