Hello everyone,
This may not be a very usual thread on this subreddit, but I thought it's the best place to start and genuinely hope you may assit me in one way or another. Don't want to bore you with the details, so the gist of it is this – I'm deeply in love with a man living in Dallas, but I'm myself from Warsaw, Poland.
In an otherwise very desirable scenario I really love my life, I have a great life here, my own flat (which I'm still paying off), job I really like, a meanignful friendship circle, my family nearby and one of the greenest capitols of Europe that is walkable, safe and which I find extremely entertaining.
The thing is, for us to be together, I would have to move. No other way around it. That, as you can imagine, means leaving my life behind. I am certain of him, certain of my feelings, certain Us together would work. The distance is what, slowly but surely, chips away at our potential future. We're in no rush, both pragmatic and well-rounded folks (as objective as I can be on this matter, but that's beside the point haha), but sooner or later a decision will have to be made. I know there are many other factors to moving to USA, of course, but if all worked out, Dallas would become my new home and I want to take it seriously, because I take him and us seriously as well.
And so here comes my very genuine request – if you could share what you love about Dallas the most, perhaps it would help me gain a better picture of it? We can't move, I know it's not a very walkable city (most American cities aren't, I know, but that's a real struggle to someone from Europe), I know I would have to learn how to drive, seek out communities and/or clubs so his friends are not the only ones I know (are there any Polish communities in Dallas?). I'm more of an introvert, but I love nature, art, games, great food, learning about culture and history...
I love him, I want to be with him, I'm serious about this. I'm commited to try and make this work. I'm going to visit Dallas for the first time in a month or two, I want to give it a real chance. I really hope you can help me see Dallas from an angle I wouldn't have otherwise and fall in love with it just as I did with him.
Thank you in advance!
