You were saying your current location doesn't have options, job-wise, and your employer might go out of business, or something. But now, you say you don't want to move?
Maybe you should move. What changed your mind about moving?
I don't know what got people under the impression that I don't want to move. Sure, I put in the last sentence "other than moving" because I can't do it immediately, but I am planning on it over the next year or so.
There are virtually no job opportunities here for me. If something happens to my current job, I'd probably have to take a pay cut of a third are more to remain in the area. There are some "storm clouds" on the horizon related to work.
I'll have to see how things go, but I think there will be more layoffs where I am going into next year.

She's originally from Tampa and moved up here in middle school. She's spent a lot of time in Charlotte and is open to living there. I've spent a lot of time in Tampa, and while I like Raleigh and Charlotte better, Tampa would be much better than here in a lot of ways.

OK, so your purpose in creating this thread, is to get suggestions on what to do, dating-wise, in the meantime, until you move a year or so from now? What would the point of that be? What if you found someone in Asheville, say, but the jobs turned out to be somewhere, in the opposite direction? Why not wait until you get settled in a new location? Or are you looking for casual dating only, until after you move? I guess I assumed you were looking to date for the purpose of finding a potential LTR.
I really would like to know why you choose a woman who is disabled?
He didn't know at first that she was disabled.
She was on Tinder, where they met, trolling for guys without mentioning her physical challenges. She didn't tell him about it until the day they met, after they had been talking a while.
Many of us tried to warn him in the earlier thread about taking this on but he went ahead.

What is silly is using the excuse of a single date meaning you're attached and in "a relationship". If you can't detach for viable reasons after a date and a few weeks talking online then you are unable to have an adult relationship.

OK, so it seems that the OP wants to break up with the GF, start dating someone else, and then when he's ready to move in a year or two, break up with the new GF, get back with the old one, and start living together in a new city?

Did I get that right?
Clarification needed from the OP. But I wasn't assuming he was planning a move with his current gf, in spite of what another poster said about his Raleigh thread. I thought that might have been an error; he didn't mention his gf (not sure he'd met her yet) in his OP on the Raleigh thread.
Anyway, that was last winter, and this is now. It sounds like he's reaching the end of his rope with the current gf, and taking her along with him wherever he goes in the future isn't in the plan.
