Hi: I met this really great guy at a college function just over a year ago. We really had this amazing connection and got along so well for the weekend. We were in DC--not our own surrounding; I'm from the Midwest, and he from the West Coast. A girlfriend of mine was on the trip with me and she agreed he was quite the keeper, except he had a serious gf at the time. Lucky for the gf...
We kept in touch and would chat endlessly online. He confessed his feelings for me and I, of course, reciprocated. He never expressed any interest in leaving his gf but said had the 2 of us been living in the same state, things would be different. He said he had never met a girl that would make him want to leave his current relationship until he met me. Half a year later, I won a trip to his state and he & his gf drove over to visit with me for a bit. His gf was a great girl which only made him look better for dating someone really nice. (As in, you can judge a guy a lot by what kind of girl he is with).
Here we are just over a year later and he calls me to say that he had broken up with his girl and is dying to come see me. He's visiting very soon and is taking me out on a date. He says he can still see himself marrying his ex years from now, but he couldn't live with himself if he didn't come out to see me. He wants to date other girls before signing away his life to one person, so to say.
I give him a lot of credit for venturing out and really taking a chance. (And it isn't so bad that I benefit from it. )
Am I crazy or could this be one of the most romantic things that could happen to a girl in her 20s? He's been calling me often and the connection we had during our last 2 visits appear to still be there. And I am ECSTATIC that he is coming to see me! Really, I am just so smitten.
Advice! Is this all crazy?! What do you all think?
I dunno...I think this could really work out. We're both already saying how sad it'll be when he leaves. Could something like a long-distance relationship come of all of this?
Oh, and I should add that there was never any physical monkey business going on. We've never kissed, messed around or anything. It's been so nice getting to know each other through the internet and phone, which we have done for the year.
