Date(s)
I decided, after the divorce was finalized, I was ready to put myself out there in the dating world...not to find "the one" right now but to have fun dating and meeting new people. So I have been emailing/texting with a guy who seems to have the same sense of humor and goals as I do. We're planning to meet up for dinner tomorrow night. The big "issue" is that he lives a 1 1/2 hours away, so long term I'm not sure how that would work.
I've also had some email contact, and one long phone call, from a more local guy. He seems pretty cool as well (more reserved than the one above) and we're planning to grab coffee at some point next week.
Okay, so here is my question...I remember seeing a thread about offering to get the check after a date, but I can't find it now that I want to re-read the suggestions from you lovely ladies. Anyone want to regurgitate a little for me??
Re: Date(s)
As far as the bill, I agree with the ladies above.
To the long distance thing, my guy lives 1300 miles away and has since we met. It's been a year so it's a bit tough now, but I will tell you that it was PERFECT for me in the beginning. If you decide to take it more "long term" it gives you a chance to really focus on yourseld and do your own thing while still having the support of being in a relationship. Plus that's close enough you could still spend weekends together. Good luck and have fun!!
This. I am also in a LDR, but mine is across the country. It was perfect in the beginning but now it makes things tough.
GL & have fun!
I always reach and have always been told put away my money.
I dated a man for a year who lived 90 mins. away the same as you are taking about. It worked for him and I. We both had weekdays to ourselves and spent weekends together. It was fine. If we were missing each other really bad then once in while we would spend a weeknight together and just lose a little sleep for the drive home. Some people have commutes that 90 mins or more. Just depends on how much time you need. I need quality time not quantity time.
