I (M18) matched with this girl (F18) on a dating app. We’ve been texting for like a day or two, and things seem to be going pretty good. The only problem is that we’re three hours apart. I’ve never even been on a date, so I’m not sure what to do. If we keep talking, and everything goes well, should I see if she wants to meet up sometime? The only problem is that I’m in college and I pretty much can’t miss any of my classes. She’s a senior in high school, so she might have a more flexible schedule than me.
I’m 18 and have never been on a date, but now I’m talking to this girl, should I ask her out soon or is the distance too much for a relationship?

I’m sorry I think the distance is just going to make things difficult.
It’s great that you’re thinking this through. Three hours isn’t nothing, but it’s not too much if the connection keeps growing.
I spent time helping people navigate early stages of dating, and your curiosity puts you ahead of the game.
If the vibe stays good, there’s no harm in gently asking if she’d be open to meeting maybe halfway, maybe when the timing works for both of you. First dates are more about presence than perfection
I think 3 hours distance is a lot and you have college too. I don’t know how often you’d be able to see each other.
Go for it. Make it an experience and something you will remember. You know those posts about ‘what would you tell your younger self’. This is one of the answers to that post.
Meet her at the beach or in the woods for a hike. Bring lunch and water, talk about your lives. If the vibe is good, there will be more dates.
