Hey everyone. I’m a 32F and last weekend I matched with a 27M but he indicated on Hinge he is from Nashville and that he’s only visiting that weekend but he wanted to still meet up while he was here. I accepted the offer. I went out with him and his friends on Friday and we really hit it off. Attraction was definitely there for the both of us. He’s very handsome and a bit younger than I am but I was definitely attracted to him as soon as I met him, him as well as he told me. We ended up him, his friend and I meeting up on Saturday and Sunday. We ended up hooking up on Saturday/Sunday. Chemistry was really full force.

He wanted to spend more time with me and asked if I wanted to drive him to downtown Indiana (where he’ll be with his friend before making his way back to Nashville) and I said that’s fine. We spent the morning to about noon together then we had lunch and I drove him and drove back. He asked if I could visit him on Labor Day weekend, I said I’d get back but most likely I could.

So now this week we texted a bit back and forth. I start my PhD program Monday and might have a new part time job as well. He texted to me today saying he might not be able to do Labor Day weekend but would be free in a few weeks instead but he’ll let me know. I said no worries and to let me know if he can by Tuesday and he hearted that message/text.

So, he’s 27, I’m 32. He’s a lawyer, I’m a therapist and going to grad school. He’s Christian (important to him) and I’m spiritual without a religion but I believe in God. We have easy conversations, it flows naturally. He continuously would compliment me and how beautiful I am and was affectionate during the time we spent on the weekend. He’s very smart but also down to earth. He does well for himself. I could see myself dating him in the future.. only problem is this distance. He did tell me he doesn’t plan on staying in Nashville forever and might make a change sometime. Chicago is a city he absolutely loves.

Moving forward, should I try to see him and see where this can potentially go? He said he is coming back to Chicago hopefully in September or October. I have no problems visiting him on occasion if it came down to that. We really click it felt like we have been already dating for a month or two we both remarked that to each other. Sexual chemistry is there. Attraction is there. Maturity is there. Of course I don’t know when I’m seeing him next exactly but if it goes well I would assume I would continue to see him if he wanted to.

Being in grad school I’m okay with him not living here. I’ll be in school for the next 3-4 years. I think I would be okay with LDR but at some point living in the same state would be needed. Should I give this a chance? Do LDRs work? Am I rushing into thinking we could potentially date? We just really hit it off and I’m curious to see where it can go. Anyone else in or been in an LDR? Advice? Thanks for reading. All advice is welcome.
