Rose gave great advice!
I moved across the country for someone. Didn't work out. I tried the whole IM thing. "I'll have a relationship where I 100% love to the best of my abilities and am loved." It ENDS. Steve will be able to tell you about that because his ears actually burst into flames from being cussed about on August 4th of this year.
TWO DAYS LATER, I am hitting it with a fairly successful musician. Oh, cool, a rebound. And I did good! We had fun. A lot of fun. He was great. I had never rebounded before, but he was great and supportive and a lot of fun in bed. And also he was hot.
A few weeks later, he says he has feelings and needs to think.
A few days after that, I say, "Look, I have feelings, but I understand your crappy situation. I just want to be your friend at the least." He surprises the hell out of me and says he wants to give it a go, that he loves me in a way he's never loved anyone else, that he feels I'm his soul mate. Okay!
So he was going on about he got some money from something and he's going to buy our friend a guitar because she needs a pick me up! I ask if I can come. No. It's a him and her thing. Whatever, right?
So my friend calls and she's all like, "Yeah, we didn't get a guitar, but we got something for you!" I'm thinking, "Godiva shop! Yay!"
After prying for 50 minutes, she spills. Engagement ring! Then last night I had to pull off looking surprised. I did poorly.
But he didn't pick me for my acting skills, thankfully.
So, yeah. Move. If you don't do this, you'll go on the rest of your life never knowing.
