I perform in musicals and plays. It’s something I’m very passionate about, and I hope to pursue it full time one day, so much so I am planning to move to NYC in about a year or so. Back in April, I met a nice man who was my cast mate in my first professional show. One of our first encounters was him picking up my phone and taking 3 selfies. He then walked past me and said, “You should check your phone.” During our next break, we got to laugh about it and we got to know each other better. After opening night, we had a cast party, and he allowed me to wear his fedora because my hair was messed up from wearing a wig, to which he said, “You look beautiful.” On the last show, I was overcome with emotion and I started crying (tears of joy). He stood beside me, wrapped his arm around me and kissed my forehead. We later exchanged numbers and we text each other maybe once every 3 weeks (it’s hard because of our work schedules, but we try to check in when we have a free moment). At the end of June, he text me to check in with me and I told him that I was preparing to come to NYC for vacation and visit family. He said that he would like for us to meet up, to which I agreed since it had been almost 3 months since we saw each other last. The first day of my vacation arrived and after dinner with my auntie, I met up with my cast mate. We sat up and talked all night, listened to music, danced, and helped him prep for an audition. We did kiss that night. He even offered to help my apartment hunt and find a talent agent when I officially moved to NY. While I was in the city, he showed me how to use the subway systems, and he indirectly asked me about my relationship status (I am single). We rode the subway together, but where we had to go was in opposite directions. When his train came, he said he’d see me later, kissed me, and left. Is this something I should pursue, or should I leave it alone due to long distance?
