Long distance relationships are very very difficult. I know, I was in one.

It takes so much patience to continue a relationship at that distance. It's wonderful and exciting in the beginning. If you end up considering taking it further and meeting, it's great fun, but it's expensive. When you end up having to leave each other to go back home, it's sad and depressing.

It takes very special people with great understanding, patience and a drive to be together. While you may have that in the beginning, there are many things that can tear it down along the way.

Please go carefully. I'm glad you are happy with this man so far. Don't forget that people from other countries have very different ideals and beliefs. What sounds awesome on the phone or online may not be so awesome in person.

I wish you both well in your endeavor. I'm sorry to be negative, but you really should have an idea about how difficult these kinds of relationships can be.

I can say that I don't regret having fallen in love with a man from eastern Europe....when it was good....it was awesome! Unfortunately, things got very complicated and drawn out and he gave up on things because it was "too hard" for him. Hmmm...it wasn't a cakewalk for me either LOL.

Be well!
