I've have had three significant ones and then a lot of other ones that were more casual. In a business where you work nights and travel a ton, a local relationship can feel long distance, too (and, for my colleagues, LDRs are also common).

They are not easy to manage but they can be cool. In some ways there is less pressure. In some ways there is a lot more doubts.

One thing to think about early on is how much you can realistically see each other and I don't mean on Skype or any shit like that. ATL-NYC is a common route but we are still talking a plane ride.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
