Please be kind as this topic is a pain point for me. I’m feeling the pressure of finding my significant other because I’m at an age where it seems like everyone in my social media feed is getting engaged, married, or having kids. The issue is I have a huge transition coming up and will have to move in a few months to a place that is a few hours away by car. I will have a lot more free time soon before moving, but then after I’ve moved to the new location I will be extremely busy and worry that I won’t be able to sustain a relationship, let alone a long distance one. However, I am very aware that the clock is ticking and something else to consider is that I need to rely heavily on dating apps currently, whereas there would likely be more potential suitors where I’m headed to. What if I do find the right person during this seemingly short window of time? What if we could make the long distance work or he wanted to move with me? Or do you think it is smarter and there is more potential for me to meet someone at the new location after getting situated? Any advice or suggestions are welcome. Thank you!
I’ll be the dissenting opinion. If it’s only a few months, wait. I did that, got in a good relationship but she never accepted the fact I wasn’t going to move back there and it can turn things bad quick. It’s not worth finding someone you like and having it end over something like that. The only schedule for your life should be your own, don’t compare yourself to social media. I’ve known people who were getting married and having kids right out of high school. If we all were FOMO’d into following in their footsteps, I know that I, for one, would be miserable
