Long Distance Relationship

[Kromat83]

Okay, so it didn't start as a long distance, actually,
it stared here in Canada, but she's from Poland.

She was to be here for 6 months, starting around November ....
and didn't meet her until mid December.

Our first encounter was in the car, because my mom has a cleaning
business, and drives the ladies around, and she happened to be
in the back seat as i had to drive for my mom that day.

I realized her smile right away, but didn't have the balls to ask her out,
as i thought she already had a boyfriend, but i found out later that she
didn't, and since my self esteem was low, and my physique was brutal,
I really didn't want to approach her about it.

It wasn't until after the New Year, when my parents went to Cuba and i
had to take care of her business for 2 weeks, that i had the courage to
ask her out, and chose something that i enjoyed dearly, which was dancing.

She was really excited that i asked her at that moment, and i really didn't
know what to expect, but after that night, i got her contact information and
we would later chat in a coffee shop and i felt something, like wow this girl
is awesome to talk too, and i can express myself so openly.

I'll cut the story short .... we went to the movies as well,
got my first kiss goodnight, which she initiated.

Also we've been having multiple walks on multiple occasions,
and best of all, she lives like 2 minutes away from my house.

Even though you might think that we might be spending a lot of time together,
but it just feels right each time, and we always have something to talk about
which makes her happy, just me being in her presence.

We had a lovely Saturday afternoon, as she was wishing i would show up at
her door, and i did, as i had my exam for a course that morning and would get a haircut.

We watched a movie together in her room, me cuddling my
arm around her waist, just thinking about it makes me happy.

This Sunday she received bad news, that she would be returning back
to Poland in 2 weeks, way early then the expected April departure i
was thinking, and it really devastated some plans i
was thinking for the two of us to do, like skiing.

Now i want to spend as much time as i can, because i really want to
make this a memorable experience, before we are apart, and i'd like
to make this work in the long run, if she gives it a chance, because i
really don't want to keep looking, to find someone like her,
so i'll keep myself motivated, that somebody we'll meet again.

You guys think this will work out ? or am i looking for false hope ?

P.S. i really do love her a lot, and would do anything to
make her happy, and hopefully visit her later this year.

I believe that a visit is a good idea, but not too soon. Give yourselves some time apart, it is too early to say if you guys are meant to be together or not. I wish you all the best of luck and I am hoping for the best. I really believe that it can work, I believe that long-distance relationships work, but unfortunately you nee to be very accepting and willing to compromise. With time people change and some of the routines that you guys had apart might change, in my case that was the problem.

Invite me to that Polish crazy wedding of yours.

AGAIN BEST OF LUCK

ya, things will be tough, never said they are going to be easy, but she still says
she's thinking about me, but it has only been almost 3 weeks.

Time is going by quickly, i still want there to be hope, but currently
working on my career, and when i can, thinking about her.

5 months will be gone soon, and then i'll see how it is when we finally lock arms around each other.

Like i said, all of this happened by accident, and if it doesn't work out,
i gave it my all, and loved spending that time with what we had.
