Tried long distance 3 times and none of them worked out.

Don’t use that as a certainty that it won’t work out with you, but I can only go off my own experience.

Long distance needs a LOT of time commitment such as phone-calls/FaceTime most days as you won’t see eachother in person which with IB will be almost impossible.

But you are in a new city, got a glamorous job from the perspective of most people, will be expanding your social circle a lot and meeting new people…

Don’t want to be that guy but I can’t see it working.

 

Bro my ex and I dated last year of college. She ended up leaving because I’m a nyc guy and she wanted me to be Philly lmao. We went to college in nyc smh. These chicks will pick their family and location over you unless you’re truly the one (nothing wrong with that either). Don’t risk it tbh no need for the pain. I couldn’t expect her to understand why it would be a major step back for me to go from nyc to Philly my whole network is here and the opportunities so much better. It sucks now but generally girls fall out of love first at a younger age bracket. I want to see you make it big king and not worry about this stuff.
