Yes it is another thread from the prodigal and super logical overthinker you love or hate.

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.

Great news diss and yes I'll certainly raise a few in celebration for ya mate

No seriously this is very promising and for what it's worth THIS is the happiest and definitely the most optimistic I've seen you

She's clearly very interested so if anything is on your mind and you'd like an opinion please don't hesitate in asking

Have fun

Thanks for the love. In years past, I would have been apt to let these things go because of the distance. But the more I got to know her, this became something I had to take a risk on. If it doesn't work out, I can go to bed knowing I actually took a big chance.

Exactly you'd end up kicking yourself if you didn't go for it mate

Awesome. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

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.

I always say go for what you want, even if the answer you get is not the one you wanted to hear. A chance missed is a chance not taken.
