[nabs-l] Dating & Sighted-Blind-Low Vision

[Joshua Lester]

I was in a long-distance relationship, in high school.
I met this girl, at the Beta Club convention, and we started calling
each other, but later on, I found out, that she wasn't as committed to
me, as I was to her.
We ended up, breaking up, after our graduation, in 2007.
That's the main problem, with long-distance relationships.
You never know, if the people you're dating, from far away, are
actually being faithful to you, or if they're seeing someone else, in
their area.
It's always great, to find someone, in your area, or close by.
Blessings, Joshua
