Would you go on a date with a guy whose moving away?!?

[Sunset89]

i'm a bit confused what to do!!

I met a guy recently through mutal friends at a gathering, he added me on facebook and ever since we have spoken every single day for 2 weeks. We can chat for hours and he seems like a lovely guy and we get on really well!

Big catch is he is moving down to london (4 hours from where i live) for a job in another 2 weeks.... yet he asked me several times to meet up with him as he really wants to see me (hes made several references of going for a picnic together one day, going for 'celebratory drinks for his new job etc) he said he was going to be back and forth in london sorting out his movement but will get back to me when he is free!

Bit confused what to do and whether to go! It just seems so backwards going on a date with someone that is moving away! he does seems genuinely interested and the conversation has never streered towards sex, so i dont get the general vibe that he just wants someone to sleep with!

would you go and see what happens? or bail now before you get attached?

HELPPP!

Some long distance relationships work. I personally wouldn't enter one purely because for me to stay interested I need to see someone regularly especially in early days.

When I had my first date with dh I was supposed to be moving back to Scotland in 3 weeks. I had a new job to go to. I never went! Happily married 9 years later!

I met my current husband when he was in town on business for a month. I'm really glad I went out with him anyway! If you really hit it off, then you can make it work long distance for a bit.

Not sure why I said current...I've only ever had one husband. :-/

If you think you like him(which you seem to) give it a chance! You regret what you don't do!

Absolutely ! you must go. I can't understand this ' no distance embargo' what about people who have been separated by wars, etc. There are endless love stories with happy endings that start off in adversity. It is not as though London is Hong Kong. I would have some reservations if it was. Best of luck Sunset !

Thank you for your responses!!

Aww glad you didn't go in the end! Unfortunately it's not my choice in this sotuati

[Sunset89]

Oh no posted too early!!!!

Situation^ its a shame we didn't have more time to get to know each other before the big move, as the early stages your still determining if you like each other!

His family lives 10 minutes from me, so I would like to think he will be coming back sometimes but I'm not sure how often that would be!!!

Do you think his intentions are genuine? I do really like him, we get on really well and he seems to say minor future induendos like 'if there's ever a big spider in your room give me a call' obviously he's joking but it's like he's always on 'call'

Hopefully he will arrange something , if he does I will keep you all updated!!

There's only one way to find out...go or you'll forever be thinking about it.
