Just seeing this....We met in my city (which is his hometown) while he was here visiting family, but he lived 6 hours away in his college town. He would drive down here to see me every 2 weeks until he was able to transfer his job. He was actually planning to move to Atlanta, but once we got together he decided to move back home. I also visited him a few times.
The distance was challenging, but we talked all the time....wish there was FaceTime back then. Long distance relationships can be difficult, but I didn't have to wait too long. He moved 3 months after we met. If you're familiar with Florida, I was in Fort Lauderdale/Miramar and he was in Tallahassee.
