Y'all are a cute couple!! Hope you can figure out a way to make the relationship work with the distance. You never know when a door might open up for you. Good luck.
One just never knows what is in store for you. Don't let the long distance hinder your dreams. I dated this wonderful guy for 5 years all the while living in different states. We are happily married now going on 8 years. :) Best of luck to you in NY and wish you the best with your relationship.
