Early in the pandemic, back when we all thought it would last a couple of months, I saw a post from a beautiful Australian woman. I can’t remember the exact post, but she looked stunning enough that I needed to compliment her, and to my surprise she commented back right away.
We began to chat, both being honest with our situations (which I won’t go into here) and what we hoped to get out of reddit. We had a nice chat, and I was certainly interested, but I also know how a nice chat on reddit can usually just be a single nice chat. The next day I messaged her again, and she replied again. Over the next couple of days we got to know each other a little bit, and I truly enjoyed chatting with her. Then she asked a perfectly reasonable question… “You live there, I live here, I don’t want to invest a bunch of time in someone I’m never going to meet.”
