A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Forgive me if this is a little long. I met the most amazing man in the world! He gave me faith in men and relationships again. He's extremely romantic, very sweet, and just all around an awesome man. He's extremely gorgeous too, so he's like the total package. The short few days we spent together were some of the most amazing days I've had in my life. I truly feel like he could be my twin soul! There are so many different things about us that are alike it's freaky. We talk a lot, through the internet, text messages, or phone calls. I really like him and I would love to possibly be in a relationship with him one day. There's just one problem. He doesn't live in the same city as me, not even close! He's always traveling for work. How in the world am I supposed to "catch" this one, or not let him slip through my fingers? The pain of a broken heart beats the pain from regret. I can't not do something or else I'll always wonder "what if?" and it will haunt me everyday. There's another slight problem. For those that say I should just visit him on the road whenever I can, that's sort of hard for me to do. I have a small child, I can't afford to do that. All of my money goes to my child, and it's still much to early for him to start buying me a plane ticket to see him. I'm too scared to just come right out and tell him how I feel. I'm pretty sure he kind of has some sort of idea with how we flirt and certain little things I say to him, I can't do the usual dating routine with him either to get to know him better. (That part doesn't matter much to me anyway, everything I find out about him I love. Even the fact that he travels for work, I find it very fascinating what he does for a living.)

Thank you for your answers! I'm terrified to tell him how I feel because we've only known each other for a very very small amount of time. I don't want it to scare him off. the last day I saw him, it took everything had in me to not cry. We had only spent a few days together, but I felt like we were already a couple in those few days. He met my friends and met my child, (I usually don't do that because I don't want my kid to get confused about my relationships). They all loved him and vise versa! He fit SO well into my life, it was like we had been together forever and we were meant to last. What if he doesn't feel the same way right now, what if it's too soon for him? Also, I think he may have just gotten out of a long distance relationship this month. (Well, anything for him would be long distance anyway) I don't want to rush things for either of us. I just had my heart trampled on not too long ago. He wouldn't be my "rebound", I've already had my rebound man since then and of course, it didn't last because I didn't really want it to.

TELL HIM. :). That's the only way. There's no use in being scared not to tell him, because that's precisely the thing that is getting in the way. If he lives that far away, there's no way he will click that you like him this much unless you tell him. You said yourself that you didn't want regret? Well, unless you tell him how you feel, that's where this is going. He's not a mind reader, especially from so far away. He's not even close enough that you can just hint to him that you like him. You really do need to be totally brave here and come on out with how you feel.
