I met her on FaceBook again...my HS GF and I are dating again! After 27 years!

It was an amazing experience, but there she was on FaceBook, looking incredible and I was stunned! I could not take my eyes off of her. Her looks had changed for the better, so much in fact I didn't even recognize her. I was even getting ready to date another woman after a three week courtship through Match.com, I had two new dates with other women in a nearby city as well. It had been 9 months of not dating for me, I didn't feel a "connection" with anyone out there in the world. I wanted and needed something more, then she showed up as someone that had the same name as my HS sweetheart, but her hair was a different color and it could not have been her...

I sent her a nice, flirty sort of message that said, I wish I knew you, but I would be happy to be your friend even though I am 400 miles away. Then I looked at her information and it was my HS and my graduating class, it was her!

We reconnected on the phone, and after the second phone call I dropped all of my future dating prospects and focused on on her. After two weeks on the phone, I drove 400+ miles to see her in person, she walked out of her garage and all of time stood still. We embraced and even had a nice kiss and everything was perfect, after 27 years!

My question is this: We are now in the beginning of a long distance relationship and I don't want to loose her. She feels the same way, what advice can you share with me so that I don't screw this up?

I am not the jealous type, I do my best to communicate and her and I freely talk about everything, sex, our past relationships, kids, parenting everything.

Thanks for any help you can provide, we both feel like we are living a dream and it's really wonderful.

That is soooo sweet! Good for you! I can't really tell you I personally know what it feels like to be in a long distance relationship but I do know my two pastors talked endlessly about it. He said that the most important thing in a long distant relationship is keeping consistent communication.They were apart for about two years with one living in California, the other in Virginia. It was quite a distance, but they managed to keep their relationship because they talked to each other every night. It seems to have gone well, because now they have been married for 5 years.

Mr. Fine: What a great story. Out of the dozens of girls and later women I've dated over the years, if I could see one again it would be my high-school girlfriend. Unbelievably, I still dream about her occasionally. I think it's great that the two of you have found each other again after all these years. One of my friend's dad's found his high-school love when he was in his seventies. She was widowed, and they ended up getting married.

At our age, we generally know what we want. This is going the way you want it to go. I would just be careful not to spook her by suggesting anyone moving or anything right now. I would just keep our conversations light and fun and don't let things get too serious. Just be likable and fun and let nature take her course.
