So I have a situation. I met this guy about a year and a half ago in Baltimore at a pop punk show. He is close with my ex-boyfriend/friends band that was playing at the show and afterwards he drummed on tour with them. I started following him on Instagram for some reason or other and we both started liking and commenting on each other's pictures. I never really thought of it as anything, just social media at its best. But recently I struck up a conversation with him and we exchanged numbers. I have been texting him for about a week now and we have FaceTimed a bit when we both have time. I really enjoy talking to him and I definitely am crushing on him. He's got the most amazing smile and eyes I have ever found on a man and we have a lot in common in how we see the world and what we want out of it. The only problem is, he lives in Colorado and I live in California. I have never been one to care about distance because I think liking someone and wanting time with them is a raw feeling that distance shouldn't change. I have the opportunity to fly out to Colorado mid October for about a week to see him and get away from work for a bit. He's made it clear that a visit from me is something he is interested in as well. However, like I said, we have only been talking for about a week. But if i wait, the tickets might get too expensive for me to afford. Plus in the past, I have liked a guy in theory. As in, we have talked and video-chatted and he was awesome on screen and on paper but in person he wasn't the one for me and I wasted a lot of my time and emotion on someone who only cared about me when he felt lonely. So, my anxiety is telling me that the sooner I spend physical time with this man, the sooner I can figure out how much time and energy I should be spending on him when I get home. With all that said, what is your opinion?
