Lost in Translation...

Ok people, heres the scenario.
A "friend" of mine met this AMAZING woman on this site and they really hit it off... =]The only problem is that she was on vacation and therefore it lasted only a bit over a week. Now, let me explain. The sex was phenomenal, conversation incredible, tons in common.... the list just goes on.
How do situations like that usually work out ???
Do you pursue even with the geographical barrier ?
Do you cherish it for what it was worth and call it a day ?
I'm pretty sure "he" already has his mind made up but since this all started with this website, i thought id throw this at you boys and girls for some amusement.
Discuss !

hey damian....

since you are *gasp* the same age as my younger son, i will tell you something kindasorta similar to what i'd tell Brian (that person i gave birth to, lol)
1) did you use condoms?!??
2) (only a week, huh? apparently the wrong head was doing the thinking...
3) How far is the "geographical barrier"? is this 'barrier' realisticaly workable?
4) would this person be worth your time/future ?
5) if the answer to #4 is no, then move on..if it's yes, then take the chance...
6) be careful of your Heart/take your time.....
Hugs......

I would love to post, but I'm waiting for him to answer some of your questions. The size of the geographical area would be my biggest question. More detail is needed in order to answer.

It sounds like he had a great time and feels more emotionally involved than just a week full of great sex and conversation, so the easy answer is go for it. But, if they live 1000 miles apart and he doesn't have transportation, the monetary means to go back and forth or the time to, then it's not such an easy answer. Long distance relationships are very, very difficult at best. Once frustration sets in, it gets even more difficult. If you are patient, flexible and have the means to be able to make it work, then it's a little easier.

Until we know more from the OP, then I don't think any of us can really answer any of the questions intelligently.

Sounds like a "shipboard romance" type of scenario!
Then they go back to their own environments... work, family, personal situations.
Many times... maybe most times... the vacation romance doesn't "fit" in well with that.
But there are the sometimes that it does.

Not much else to say on the subject. Check out all the forums about "do long distance relationships work?" for further thoughts.

Distance : just over 1000 miles
Monetary situation : hahahahahahaha.......... ::cries::
Transportation : A car that might make it.

-The person is DEFINITELY worth the time.
-Actually, the right head was doing the thinkin.... it just all felt right.

Well, it sounds like you don't have a hell of a lot of choice. Keep in touch with her, you each may be able to vacation in each other's locale and spend that time together and if after a few tries you may look at seeing each other more often. By my calculations you're talking about 14 hours drive one way. You say she is worth it, that's 28 hours of driving with a car that might make it to spend a part of a weekend with her. Only you can answer where this goes. Or should I say "he" can answer that.

As I said before, long distance relationships are very difficult at best. If it were me, I'd chalk it up to a wonderful time and go along my way. But that's just me.
