Search Results: learning from past relationship

Met the most wonderful person I have ever talked to/laid eyes upon a few weeks ago on a language learning app. We got to talking and she asked for my Instagram since we both used these more. I learnt so much about her and that we have a crazy amount in common. We were talking about past relationships a few days ago, and I mentioned how I was generally anxious to ask to a crush out, she told me not to be at all.

I asked her how long into talking with someone she would ask someone out, she said a week. After some very obvious flirting attempts from her, I decided to make my move, roughly a week after I got her Instagram.

My whole body was shaking and I was cold all over as I didn't want to lose the friendship we had.

She responded straight back to me saying that she liked me back and was waiting for me to pick up on her flirting, 😂😂.

Since then our relationship has been so cute and amazing. However, we live quite far away from each other which makes things difficult.

I am naturally a worrier and although things are going strong, I want to make sure we don't lose the spark. Any tips or pieces of advice from those who have been in the long distance relationships would be greatly appreciated!

Met this girl (24) online who moved to my city 2 years ago for work and things moved fast. One 3 hour dinner at a restaurant & I got the impression that she was a complete "goody two shoes." We had so many values in common... so I thought :/
2nd date she invited me over and we slept together, which caught me off guard. She initiated everything, but I went with it b/c it felt special. I didn't finish and she said "I'm sorry I'm not very good at this" which got me thinking she had not been with many people.
2 wks later we were in a relationship & the only thing I knew about her past was her one and only 9 month relationship & some dating that didn't work out. A week later at 11:30pm she gets a missed call & text from a guy saying "Hey, I miss you." She explained it was a guy she dated earlier in the year. No big deal she didn't even reply.

A week ago and a text form her ex for a valid reason created another awkward situation, which led to me asking dangerous questions. How old she was when she lost her virginity & how many guys she had slept with? I didn't think I would get unsavory answers, but I did.

She lost her V at 20/21 (not a big deal), told me I was the 8th guy she had slept with & the last guy was 4/5 months before me. With her only being 24 & a 9 month relationship in there I did the math. From the time she broke up with her ex there was an 18 month period where she slept with 6 guys. Very unsavory info, but it gets worse... 2 of them were one night stands where she invited the guys over to her apmt the very first time, the other 4 she slept with after only 2-4 dates and one turned into a friends with benefits situation for 2 weeks :/

We have already BOTH fallen for each other hard and I'm devastated. She feels AWFUL, said she was lonely & admits the mistakes & how stupid she was. I feel like she was only after sex, had no respect for herself, didn't learn from the mistakes & am having a hard time seeing her as the same person I thought she was.
