Should I continue dating someone that lives 3hours away?

I dated a guy about three hours away for quite a while. I happened to love him and he loved me. Also, he would make the drive in the opposite direction approximately half the time. Can you ever meet half way?

You say he's great. Do you like him as a person? Does he seem to like you?

What about your depression? If it is clinical depression, you need to be seeing a therapist, although you didn't say if you are or not. I've plenty of friends who have been and are treated for depression who are happily with a mate. Well, as happily as anyone else.

Three hours isn't that far. It's not like you'd be seeing each other in person every day in any case while you're dating. Visit him occasionally. He can visit you occasionally. Live your normal life and talk on the phone in between. It's very doable.

I agree - 3 hours is not that far. I dated someone that was 5+ hour flight. And seeing this is temporary you should be able to handle. Keep yourself busy with friends, talk on the phone alot, skype and keep in touch that way.

My opinion is if you talk you learn a whole lot more about each other rather than just going out and to a movie. You are almost forced to actually talk as there is nothing else.
