I'm in a long distance relationship & about to move half way across the country to the Bay Area...to give this relationship a chance in a "normal" way & for a new start in my life...new job (I'm an RN), new friends, new experiences. It's not all for my relationship but that is the B I G main part of it... so it's exciting but a little scary at the same time! My question is...What is the biggest personal risk you ever took for love...(someone you were not married to)...& are you happy you did it?

I see a move as more of an adventure.... but I know some people see it as risk. I think of a real risk being more like, lending someone 10,000 to help them move...that's a R I S K cause no guarantees you would get it back. You have something real to lose.

That does sound both exciting and scary. How well do you know this guy?

Be careful. Have a backup plan. Please don’t move right in with him.
Get your own place and date first.
Thank you...& YES! I am going to have my own apt, my own job & my own income, meet friends....I do not want to rely on him in any way, just date him. I H A V E met him rl....we've been back & forth a few times &....I would N E V E R even think about moving if I hadn't. I also met some friends of his one night...a few other couples went to dinner with us.
So...any risks or adventures you would take for love?

This is good.
As for me.. I’m not one to take risks.
Most often people who take risks need to get bailed out by the level headed person who doesn’t.
I have learned to walk on by and say, “You’ve got yourself in that mess.. get yourself out.”
As for love, I haven’t found that true love for someone. Perhaps my son but not in a partner.

I think a risk is only as bad as what you stand to lose...by doing it or not doing it. Even if the relationship does not work out...I haven't "lost" anything & I still gained experiences....& I still would have my job, my friends, & in the worst case, if I hated it......I could always move again. I'm already living in an area I don't really like that much so ..... it would be more of a risk N O T to go, Lol...
