Episode notes
Progression Indicates Viability
- Long-distance works when there is clear progression and mutual intentionality rather than indefinite drift.
- Without plans to see each other or a horizon, distance easily becomes wasted emotional investment.
Protect Your Dating Options
- Invest cautiously early on and avoid abandoning local options for someone you barely know.
- Keep other dating options open until the long-distance connection proves consistent and intentional.
Distance Amplifies Avoidance
- Long-distance inherently glamorizes barriers and can amplify avoidance behaviors.
- People may perform a charming distant version of themselves that's easier than real-life intimacy.
