Stop the press!

This just in, the social experiment better known as 35 First Dates may have come to an end. Or at the very least the show may be put on hold for a spell while the leading lady evaluates Number 4.
(Number 4 will now be played by Eros.)
Eros and I are getting alone very well and although we’ve not been in touch long I get the feeling that we are both thinking that this is it. It may have taken 17 years, but it seems that we’re going to become an item. Okay, that’s probably a little presumptuous. I can’t recall anyone in my adult relationships that I have gotten along so well. Now I’m not crazy, I know there will come a day that we’re going to get into it and I know that’s normal. I’m just tripping on how we’ve gotten along so far. Maybe it’s because I’m older but a lot of stuff that used to matter to me does not bother me anymore. For example, Eros like to watch football on Sundays. In the past, I would have gone on and on about how he had chose football over me. In fact, I can vivdly recall this exact conversation with one particular person. Well this time around I decide to go with the flow and watch the freaking game. Guess what, it wasn’t bad at all. I even learned a few things. And even better, Eros and I spent hours enjoying each others company. Isn’t that what it’s all about anyway?
I’m ready to be in a relationship with someone that is willing to put in the work to make it successful. I wonder if Eros is up for the challenge. There is one thing that gives me great pause… the distance between us. We’re 3 hours away from each other, which in the grand scheme of things isn’t that far. But it feels like a million hours when you want to be close to someone. Eros and I have talked about relocation. It’s much easier for him to give up his spot than for me to get rid of mine. I know what you’re thinking…slow your roll girlfriend. And normally I would be right there with you, but this just feels right.
Are we being irrational? What is the most seemingly irrational thing that you have done in the pursuit of real love and did it work out in the end?

Okay first let me say I am all in favor of this. I just recently relocated to be with Gina. We were 5 hours away so compared to your 3 hours, it was a lot longer. But I knew deep down this was the real thing and I made the move to be with her. I was in her city almost every weekend so I was like WTH am I waiting for.
The thing I would say is make sure he really wants to make the move. It is one thing to say it in conversation like us. but it was a whole different thing to just do it.
Like in this economy it was hard for me to find another job in a different city. Once I actually moved there did the interviews adn opportunities start to come. Not saying it will be that way for you guys but it is something to think about. That is why since you say it is easier for him to move, that he is ready to give up his life he has established there.

Martin,
Thanks for the comment. It’s nice to know that we’re not totally crazy. Sometimes you just gotta go with what you know and let others think what they may.
