Living in Manhattan there are literally 1,000s of bachelorettes that are less than 5 miles from my front door and all within a "reasonable" age rang ie 40s. But when you filter it all down there is maybe 10 I'm actually interested in meeting.. oh well it's worked in the past.. this time out 3 dates so far no, connections. On to this week.... Thatβs because you need a #BostonStrong girl, not one those flaky New York girls πππ Been there done that, lived in Boston for 5 years. Although easier on the budget meeting up at Dunkin!

I'll save you the effort - no. Well to be fair if you have an end game in plan (ie. you already are in a relationship and one of you get a job for a year half the world away) then its probably more doable. If you haven't met yet or have only chatted online then it gets harder to keep the commitment going when there isn't a target to aim for from the timeline perspective. If you've only been together a short time then its pretty much impossible and you're better off being honest with each other and saving the pain of three months of trying to keep it going before one or both of you decide to call it a day and see what happens once the job/trip/etc ends.

Isn't it strange? It's so true though. 12 months ago I split from my fiancee of 7 years... When we got together, I was used to meeting women in bars, clubs, pubs, maybe at work etc, chatting them up, getting their number and sending a text, seeing where it goes. To me, that was the modern equivalent of "here's my number" written on your hand and you going home and giving a call. Since breaking up, obviously I've been looking at it, and it's all Tinder this, POF that.... don't really get it.... but there we go. In answer to the OP, I think long distance relationships can work, but the distance is too much in your case... just my opinion though. The online apps are like a pick n mix at Woolworths. Look at who you like, message them, see if they reply and keep a conversation going. POF and Tinder are what I call the shag sites. A lot of people generally use them two for a shag. Okcupid is meant to be a good one for something more serious. I've had Tinder, had a quite a few matches, but I couldn't be fucked to message tons of different birds so I uninstalled it. I'm sticking to whatever happens, happens. That's kind of my line of thinking too lol
