Your Love from Afar Challenge Week 1

Friday- Do you enjoy being in a long distance relationship? Is your outlook positive or negative?

We think “enjoy” is a bit too strong of a word there, haha! Although we know in our hearts that we will not only survive but also thrive in this LDR, it’s obviously not our first choice scenario, shall we say. Especially because we lived with each other for some time before we started our LDR. But we would take this over breaking up with each other any day of our lives. We love each other so much that distance isn’t a good enough reason for us to break it all off. 

There is no doubt that our outlook on our LDR and our relationship in general is positive. Lately, we have been having a lot of conversations about our future between ourselves and with our families. So, as far as we’re concerned, we’re in it for the long haul! 

Your Love from Afar Week 1 Day 1

Monday-Tell us your story. 

How far are you? How old are you both? Where do you both live? How long have you been together? Do you have any future plans? Have you visited each other yet?

—————————————————————————

Richard (25) and I (24) are 3,662 miles apart, as he lives in London and I live in Washington DC. 

So, the Reader’s Digest version of our story is:

We met on OKCupid in August 2012, right before I moved to Manchester, UK to pursue my master’s. After talking all day, everyday for about a month, Richard asked me out on our first date, and since we were connecting in such an amazing way, I said yes. It was such a wonderful date; the best first date I’ve ever been on. He even baked a Victorian sponge cake that day and brought along slices for dessert! 

A few days later, on September 24, 2012, we went on our second date and became official.

(If you guys want the full version, let me know, and I’ll make a full post of it!)

We’ve been together ever since, and we plan to stay together for the rest of our lives. 🙂

We started our LDR the day I had to travel home because my student visa for the UK was almost up, and unfortunately I couldn’t find full-time, sponsored employment in the UK. That was on January 27th of this year. So, we’ve been in a LDR for a little over a month now. We still haven’t visited each other because I have been traveling for the past month, and Richard has been working full-time and settling into his new flat. 

But Richard is planning to come visit me in DC some time in late September! I could not be more excited!!
