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!
So potential way to approah this, could you seek out a relationship that you plan on ending around when you move? That could push you to date someone you might not otherwise or do things you might not otherwise which could be a good experience and potentially expand your pallette. Really depends on your experience and “skill” with dating, but some food for thought at least
I did something similar when I went back to college, I decided to focus hard on trying new things and meeting new people and generally forced myself to be far more social than I would otherwise be comfortable being and through that process I became a much better version of myself
