Long Distance Love
I think the hardest love to fall for, besides a love that can’t or won’t be returned, is long distance love. You get to see a lot of this online. There are no boundaries. There are no rules of engagement. All that exists is a search page of criteria that can be tuned to as broad or narrow field as your mind can imagine--and your heart can bear. I’m always steering away from these types of relationships, but that doesn’t stop them from popping up. There seems to be something extra-special about the long distance contacts I do make. The impossibility of it all adds a romance factor that’s hard to attain when chatting with people you meet who are within realistic reach. Even people who are only a couple of hours away seem less like a possibility than those on the other side of the country. A two hour drive is a hassle. A six hour plane flight is an adventure! Seeing as I’m the type that needs that glimmer of magic to really fall in love, this puts me in an awkward spot.I met a girl on Match recently from Vancouver. I know next-to-nothing about her. I’ve seen her pictures and she’s beautiful in my eyes. She writes well. Beyond that, I know nothing. If she lived here, I would certainly make the effort to see her as soon as I could. Now I have some time off coming up, and I’ve planned a couple of vacations. One is a local trip with my family. The other is to someplace warm. I want to relax on a beach, sip drinks, play volleyball and swim with dolphins. My trip with family is set. I can’t change that. My trip to the beach isn’t set. It wouldn’t be hard to change my plans and book a flight to Vancouver instead. If someone told me that the love of my life was living in Vancouver waiting for me, I’d stop this sentence here, grab a bag and head for the airport. I’m not sure whether it’s fortunate or not that love is much more complicated than that.
