And yet I also can't reasonably expect someone to accept a long-term long-distance relationship.

Ah, well, I don't want to sound as if I'm whining, which I'm really not, just being pragmatic.

Long-distance relationships CAN work. There are plenty of blossoms here on bfp who have/are in successful ones (I think there's a LDR thread). Don't count it out!
