"On Long Distance Relationships: What's your opinion? Good or Bad"
I usually don't tell my personal business on here (except for my son). But it's 2015 and I promised y'all that I would do better. So, I have embarked on a long-distance relationship. And I have to tell you, this is very different for me and I'm hoping that it will work.
I met the young lady over the Thanksgiving holiday in VA. But I live in the ATL and she lives in NYC. Nevertheless, from the time that I met her on 11/29/2014 we have only missed about 3 days without talking. She has been down to the ATL twice to spend the MLK Holiday weekend in Jan with me and the other time was for an whole week in Feb. During both visits we had amazing times and our chemistry is great.
To be honest, I meet a lot of quality and beautiful women in the "A", but this sister is special and we are on the same page about a lot of things and life. She's different for my normal professional, educated, model chick that I normally date. And I say that because I needed someone that didn't fit the same old mold and standard. I needed someone that was just as beautiful on the inside and she is on the outside, focused, motivated and grounded about life. Well, she is all of those things and more. She's a real Woman's Woman and a great conversational. We text every day and she's very supportive and motivating about life. She's like a breath for fresh air.
I know that this sound crazy, but we recently decided to make it official as a couple. It was kind of easy for me since I had slowly let the other straggles drift off. I guess I was anticipating this moment. But at the same time it's still crazy for me because I'm the kind of dude that likes to spend QT and romance time with that special lady. Yeah, Facetime helps, but it's not the same. I recently sent some flowers unexpectedly to her job - got 100 point for that..LOL
I need to set up a travel date this month to go see her. I'm willing to try and make this a success. It's just all new.
Anyway, I'm open and wiling to hear suggestions. So if you have'em let'em fly.
