    I met a girl whilst on holidays recently. She is English and lives in the UK. We hit it off and met each other 4 nights while there. Since I have returned we have been texting and chatting on facebook. I have invited her over to Ireland to visit me and she says she will come over. Am I mad to be pursuing this? Its not going to lead to anything, she has her life over there I have my life here. We're not kids either, I'm 33, she's a couple of years younger. Should I cut my losses now and avoid the inevitable heartbreak down the line?

    You can travel to the UK in less time than it takes to get from one end of Ireland to the other! If an hours flight and a bit of travel time either end is the only problem then go for it! (When I met my partner he lived in Switzerland - I'm in Portugal - and he now works in the UK and we have found ways of making it work).

    Forgive me for saying so, but your attitude is a teensy bit defeatist, why not assume it WILL work rather than starting on the basis that it will fail? :)

    Good luck.

    Be positive. You may just have met the girl of your dreams.
    Why not go over to the UK to meet her? Most UK airports are less than an hour from Ireland.
    Don't be negative. I believe you get one chance in life to do things. This may be your only opportunity.
    She may be thinking: " I really enjoyed his company on holidays and liked him. But he can't be bothered making an effort to come to see me, he wants me to go to Ireland to see him."
    So take the initiative.

    Id go for it. I was in a long distance relationship between Ireland and France (with me being in France). I met him when he was on holidays here. Its very normal in Europe these days to be in long distance. Most of my friends are. Alot with bf/gf in London while they are in Austria, France, Germany, Switzerland.

    I dont think its so common in Ireland, but definitely around mainland Europe and even in UK its quite the norm to be with someone because you get on great with them...even if they live in another country. Eventually if things are serious, one of you might move. However most of my friends have been long distance for 8 years before actually living in same country together ;)

    Definitely can work if you want it to.
