[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I appreciate all the  feedback.  It's great hearing all the success stories.

I've never been out to DC before, neither has my bf, who is also a California native.  We will both be fish out of water.  But he's moved across states for work and has weathered through it.  While I have visited Boston, NYC and NJ before, I've never lived anywhere outside of San Diego.  I've never experienced a cold winter, in fact I've only seen snow twice in my life.  I am worried how I'll make it in a new city, especially when it's 2600 miles away from my family and friends.  I'll have no support system. While here, I see my family once a week.  My bf also warned me he will be working longer hours and won't be around as much as he is now.

At the same time, I'm also itching for a new environment, having lived out here my whole life.  It would be nice to make a fresh start, and explore an entirely different city with someone. We both agree we don't want to do long-distance, so that's out of the question.  I have my heart already set on moving out there, but there is 5% of me that is just a little apprehensive... a little realistic. The main thing though is I feel like my life is better with him in it, than staying in San Diego without him.  It's beautiful out here - I live a few blocks from the beach, but I heard DC is beautiful too.  We have horrible traffic here, it's becoming just as bad as LA traffic, the summers can reach 103 F,  everything is expensive, and dating here pretty much sucks.  I really lucked out with my bf, although it took a while to find him.  I was single for two years, and watched all my friends marry and have kids.  I don't want to lose a great catch.

Sounds like you've already made your decision.  Move, because otherwise you'll regret not trying.[/quote]
