    I met this guy over the Christmas on a night out with the girls. He was so nice, such a dote, really friendly and funny etc. He asked for my number and we've been in contact ever since and its great. I've only met him once since the first time we met but when we did meet up it was great, we were so comfortable in each others company, shared great laughs, plenty of conversation etc.

    The problem is he lives in Cork but I'm currently living about 2hours away from him. Up until about six months ago, I lived in Cork also but I changed jobs and moved away and so I wouldn't really have any friends there any more. He suggested going out a few nights over the xmas (he was going out with his friends) but I just made up excuse that I couldn't go that time but another time instead basically beacuse I didn't want to be tagging along with his group of friends.

    I really would like to give it a go with this guy but is the distance issue too much for it to work?

    Hi OP. If I were you I would give it a shot. 2 hours isn't all that bad in the grand scheme of things. I'm in a similar situation myself, we're reliant on public transport to get to one another but still manage to do just fine. I'm not saying that it wont be annoying, especially when you see your friends out with their OHs who live in the same towns with them but if you truly have a connection with this guy I think it's best to give it a try. Best to suffer through the travel then live in regret! If you're worried about having to go out with his friends all the time then why don't you suggest just meeting up for coffees and dinners/evening drinks for the first while until it would have been time to meet the friends anyway?

    Long distance relationships are never easy, especially when you are only getting to know the person. But there is only one way to find out if it will work and thats to give a go. You could also just be casual at first to see how you work together and if it gets more serious then all the better.
