Depends on where they are moving? If a distance relationship was possible I would. My wife and I started dating in June (several years ago) knowing full well that she was heading back to school to finish her PhD in August.
We made the 5 hour drive every other weekend and it all worked out!
Depends on why they are moving. If it's to take a job, move closer to family, or some other tangible reason, then probably not.
However, if it was because they felt there was nothing where I was at for them, I would take the chance. It might just be that they are lonely and are tired of the "dating" scene (such as clubbing, etc.). I might be able to show them that the relationship with me would be worth putting the move on hold.
But there's also the expectation that if the relationship is just starting now, it may not work from your perspective, and them moving isn't such a bad thing.
After all, if you want to make God laugh, make plans. And if you overthink this relationship, you might be kicking yourself five years down the road.
Tell me about it... I was supposed to be early-early retired in about 5 years on a Greek isle... Now I'm looking at decades of dwelling in the cube under the fluorescent lights in this brave new world, if I'm lucky that is...!
I would. May is a long way off, and just because you start to date someone, it does not mean that the relationship will even last until May. Have fun. Get to know them. Deal with the issue when May gets here.
Thanks, everyone. I'm actually the one who plans to move in May. But I have been avoiding getting involved with anyone beyond flirting, and certain interesting people have been distancing me. I know no one knows what the future holds, so what's the harm in being with someone for time that we have together? I'm not into casual liaisons, so the friends with benefits deal is out. Just wondering why I should be alone romantically for nine months? I am leaving New York City, where I am fulfilled in terms of my work life and artistic life, to move to Madison where I stand a better chance at having a full life, a more solid social or community life.
But you can date, and enjoy going on dates, without it being FWB. And I still say that dating does not equal relationship, and it seems a little like putting the cart before the horse.
