So for almost the past year, I've gotten to know an awesome woman who has stood out from the rest. We met on a dating app. She lives in Northern KY and I live in VA. We done the texting, snapchatting, and video chats etc.

I like this woman because she is attractive, educated, has a solid job, and loves music. I have a very difficult time finding girls here in DC who check those boxes and actually want anything to do with me. I also don't feel like the pressure to be perfect like I do when I'm interacting with other women in a dating context.

She also went out of her way to show emotional support to me when I was in a pretty rough emotional state from taking care of my mother who had been very sick a few months ago. How can you not dig someone like that?

Of course distance has kept us apart, but I decided to go for broke and asked her to meet up in her city in July since i have friends out there as well and she excitedly agreed.

The Dissenter of old would have never been that willing to take a risk like that. But it feels good knowing that I'm going after someone who I really think I can enrich their life and they can do the same for mine.

Buckle up, this summer is going to be big, hopefully, for Big D.
That's such a generous and sweet way to describe what can happen between two people. Good for you and good luck moving forward. Now we gotta fist bump or something before I get all mushy, but I think you should be proud of yourself.

Schweeet! Sometimes, you have to go out on a limb to pick the sweetest fruit.

Try to be reserved; don't expect too much too soon.

Good Luck!

I sense a love story blooming. :-) Here's to a happy, warm, and loving summer Mr. D!

I don't know if you're looking for input or not, but the only thing I'd say is this: Trust your instincts, be courageous, but don't push matters too far, too fast. If things are right, you'll know.

Oh, and nobody here hates you.
Your input is appreciated. I'm working on finding the right balance to come with.

yep. Absolutely right.

Diss, you keep holding out on us! You keep things to yourself, or you mention meeting someone interesting who shares your musical interests, then we hear nothing more. Believe it or not, you do have a fan base, here. And we want DETAILS!

So please keep us posted. Wishing you the best of luck, and good for you, for edging out of your comfort zone for what looks like a situation with some potential. If you don't play, you can't win. Go, DISS!
