After five months without communication on either part - he called one evening and immediately asked three questions. 1. Are you married? 2. Engaged? and 3. How serious is this relationship you're involved in? My answer obviously was "no" to the first two questions and not serious/no ring to the third. He proceeded to tell me that he no longer worked for his company and wanted to come here, was the offer still open? He came! During his visit we talked for long periods of time about what plans he was considering for his future. He kissed me and I felt swept. He told me,"this feels right, you are definitely someone I want in my life and that he couldn't see his life without me in it." To date we have not been intimate. We continue to talk via the phone and email on a routine basis and have seen each other since his trip down, meeting half way and spending the day together. Again we talked about our plans and what we want out of life. He is moving within three hours of me and returning to school to obtain his masters. He is 38 and never married. I am 37 with two children (divorced). He is what I am looking for as our time together (in person) is always tender/passionate. Our communication flows and we share a variety of the same interests. As you can see we are at different points in our lives and I am in need of some outside advise! Any would be appreciated. Thank you.

I personally wouldn't embark on a LDR b/c they are not for me. If you're looking for companionship and someone actively involved in your life, it can't be someone 3 hours away. That's my opinion anyway. Some people do it, but I don't understand how. In my experience you need lots of face to face interaction to get to know someone. A relationship can't be conducted over phone or internet. Not a real life one anyway.
