4 hours driving?
You can probably fly for cheap every now and then, right? Should only take you about 1 hour.
My sister was dating a guy in Dallas and she would fly to Dallas or he would drive down to Houston.
Now she's in China learning the language and they're still together.
If you have lots of things in common, do it! Especially if it's only 4 hours away and she's hot!

But then there's the fact that flying/driving gets expensive and, well, it's probably better for both of our social lives to be close to our S.O. I think i'll just see how things go. I got her to agree to let me buy her a milk shake, that's a start right?
 
4hrs... only if gauranteed to hit it. even then, that's a long drive. and an expensive plane ticket. i'd just stay home, but then again, i'm not a big fan of LD relationships
 
i complain about driving 1 hour to my gf's dad's house, or two hours to her apt. I hope you understand how long 4 hours is to drive one way....

Don't do it. You can't get to know someone in the ways that count from four hours away.
 
uhh dude.......u live in the best city in the world for finding women and you want to persue a chick 4 hours away???

Slap yourself for being a dumass.

are u kidding me dude? We've been over this months ago....stop behaving in such a desperate manner its creepy and a turn off.

"Let me buy her a milk shake" wtf man....that is so twisted......ughhhhhhhhh. STOP SUPPLICATING it communicates that you have nothing else to offer her so you need to win her affections with gifts and lavish dates and all that other bullshit that doesnt work! You cannot buy attraction!

So she's intelligent, sweet, and beautiful. Why is she resorting to online dating again?

Please go to myspace.com to see just how many very pretty and intelligent girls are dating online lately. Big cities make it oddly very difficult to meet people. bars suck and there's no real place to go to meet people on a 1 on 1 basis.

Lame LAME LAME. Its not difficult...your just not good at it and are not dedicated to becoming good at it and are happier with just doing the same things and getting the same results and then rationalizing to yoruself after the fact why that is ok!

sad.

Why waste time in bars with skanks when you can open yourself up to the entire world by using the biggest most attractive hotspot.. the intarweb! I just gave my phone number to a beautiful woman in another country, works for me!

The trouble is that I barely know here but her emails to me have been so... Sweet... That I want to know her more. But I'm not 12, I shouldn't walk into this hoping that I'll get to know this sweet girl more, KNOWING that she lives 4 hours away, right? Not saying that a relationship will happen, we barely know each other. but she has this wonderful mix of intelligence and sweetness that I'm really liking, this from a guy who's been dating quite a bit and am rather jaded... Tell me I should just move on and avoid the misery!

Pic And she's really cute too.. ARGH!

link to myspace profile?

or PM me
 
I read all the "she's a man" and "No way" stuff and, frankly, I'm disgusted. Let's see - in this day and age, people can ACTUALLY talk and see each other, even if they're half a world away, and in different time zones. I know plenty of people in long-distance relationships, and most of them work - they get together eventually and it's great. You know why it works? because those people are mature... and the distance makes some things very clear. If the OP is stupid enough to give this girl up (despite the fact he feels she's different and better than what he's seen so far) he deserves no better.

bingo.

Because there's nothing wrong with online dating. MySpace has a couple million users around her age. And they're normal people, for the most part, because you can pick the creepy ones up because they have terrible pictures. Online dating is convenient and almost fun for uber-connected 18-21 year olds.
 
Hotchic and whoever she married didn't even talk on the phone until AFTER they were engaged... Don't worry, nothing will make you look like a loser in comparison.
