Have Met An Amazing Girl But Im Going To Oz...

LegacyUser

Im a regular users on Boards but going anonymous on this Thread.
So i have met a lovely girl recently, had 2 dates we get on so well!! but im going to Oz in Sept... I dont know what to do, i always said i would never leave something like this get in the way of my travels but there is something about this girl.
We have spoken about it, she has said that she is sorry to see me go and has even dropped hints about going out there too but i dont want her to rush into things either, she has a job here but she hates it at times, i dont want her to come out and then end up regretting it and hating it there or me too, but i would love for it to happen.
I'm annoyed on how it worked out, was single for over a year and nothing happens and now i met her and i'm going away, life is funny at times!!
I'm saying to myself to just enjoy what we got til i go but i dont want to leave her slip through my fingers either.
Any advice for a love struck man?

I personally think that's it's too soon after 2 dates to make a life changing decision like that.

I had a similar thing when I was in my final year of college. I was all set to leave for Aus as soon as I finished my exams. In the February I met a girl and fell in love. I stayed. that was 7 years ago, we're still together (:D) and I'm oon course to get my doctorate in a year.

Aus will always be there to discover later, will she?

I was in a very similar position a couple of years ago! Met a guy but he was heading to Canada within 2 months of us meeting, I was offered a brilliant job at the same time. So he went, I stayed and we done the long distance thing. Chatted every day on Skype. He came back after the year and we are still together now 3 years later. I went to visit him, was the holiday of a lifetime. We are actually planning on moving to Canada for good!! So it can work.:D

Yes. Cool the jets would be my advice. You've had two dates with the woman!

Get to know her better over the next couple of months and see what happens. I really think you're jumping the gun here and overthinking this - it's very early days. For both of you.

Let her go with you.

OP here, Thanks for the replies everyone, was having a think about it yesterday and today, it's only been 2 dates, so i am jumping the gun!!
Will still be going to Oz, will miss her when i leave, but ya never know what happens down the line...

Keep seeing her and get to know her better. With modern technology being as it is, you can still Skype etc. Who knows, down the line things could change. Perhaps you might not like Oz and come back, perhaps she might decide to go out there. Play it by ear.

My advice would be to go and leave it open for her to maybe come in a few months. It's hard to know what's gonna happen and who ur gonna meet when you get there. You are undoubtedly going to have the time of your life and it's amazing how you can forget about things going on in your home life when you're there! I went in 2008, had just met a guy before I left and was thinking along the same lines, but met the love of my life in oz and now I can't even remember that guys surname!

You never know what could happen down the line, ill go out and meet someone else there, but the way i feel at the moment about this girl i dont want that to happen.
I think it will work work its self out though, whatever happens, will still go to Oz.
