I’ve just gotten out of a 6-year relationship about 3 months ago. I wanted to marry this guy, however, he said that he always felt that there was something missing in the relationship, and he never felt complete when I am with him, so he broke up with me. I was distraught. He wanted me to date other people…so I slowly tried to move on…

One week after the break-up, I met a gentleman at my God-brother’s wedding. He was sitting in the same table as I was. He happens to be my God-brother’s cousin. He was a very nice person, and a very easy to talk to, so we decided to keep in contact with each other through facebook. For the past 3 months, we’ve just been talking to each other casually through wall posts…then fb messages…then aim…then phone calls…then skype. I never saw him as being more than a friend until now. From talking to him so much, I realized that we have soo many things in common..it’s scary!

He’s very easy to talk to, very understanding, very smart, and very funny. We have been chatting every night in the past week for hours and hours. One time, we were chatting so long, I saw the sun started to rise! I think I’m love with this guy. I look forward to talking to him every night. I would really love to date him, however…I live in NJ…and he lives in Texas! I don’t know what to do. I just got out of a serious relationship. Am I ready to move on?

Can long distance relationships work? Well, right now, I’m just going to continue to talk to him every night. He’s a wonderful friend…I just wish he could be more than that…but due to the circumstances I’m in, would I be able to date this guy?
