Started dating right before I move away for three months...should I end it now or see what happens?

Oh she’s already gone! I just put it down to being busy settling into her job and catching up with the people she knows over there (we’re both from London and she’s moved to Boston for a two month work placement). I guess it’s that whole thing of when she’s liking all your stuff on social media and whatnot it sort of makes you wonder why not get back to you! Anyway. Sorry to hijack your post haha.

I’ve done long distance in my last relationship of 5 years, and to be honest it was awful. Really difficult to make things work, so I’m happy that we haven’t committed to anything serious. That being said, I’m not interested in seeing anyone else, and she’s only away until July. Really it’s only two months. For me, I just want the person to be honest and make sure we’re on the same page. That’s what I see as the ideal situation. If the person respects you enough, they can be honest with you I think. In our case, we agreed we don’t know each other well enough for a relationship, but we also really like each other and said we’d like to keep in touch. So that’s ideal for me. I’d hope that when she’s back we can pick things up where we left off and see if it goes anywhere, but if it doesn’t, I’d respect that and get on with things!
