The guy I've been talking to (the one I dated when we were in high school together)... well I'm wondering if things won't work out. I think I need to tell him that because he's already talking of the future and me moving with him to Kansas someday, and while that's nice and all, I spent 7 years on a waiting list to get this nice apartment, I'm not giving it up for something that may not even work out, I'm not risking that and possibly screwing myself over in the end, and I'm not giving up my independence. I live in a pedestrian friendly city, there's buses, cabs, most things are in walking distance, etc. I can't move somewhere that barely has any public transportation if any, I don't have a license and don't want to get one, I prefer using public transportation or walking. He lives in a very rural area. If I moved there someday I'd be stranded there and would have to rely on other people to get places.

Not to mention the fact that I hate heat and it's way too hot for me down there. I'm from NY and like cold weather, snow. I'm not a summer person. I lived in Kentucky for several years (we both did) and also Florida and that was far enough south for me to decide I don't want to venture further south/west whatever, where there's so much heat and tornadoes
