I like her a lot (so far) but the whole ‘we live in different states’ thing is really souring my hopes. There is nothing really tying her to Melbourne in terms of family and commitments,

Reckon you're gonna find a bunch of melbournians more than happy to GTFO outta here after the past few years.

But lets back up, you dont know if there is physical chemistry here yet. Lets worry about moving after you've shared a cuddle on the couch watching a movie. Not like its hard to fly between the 2 for a weekend visit either.

Wait till you see property prices in Tassie. Shit's cooked over there too.

christ dont I know it. But the grass is always greener when you've paid 2.5k to take your car over, right?

I'm kicking myself for not buying a property there 15 years ago. Went there for work (pretty remote area) and houses were going for like $50k

The 2 houses I lived in for a few years around 2013 both went for 75k. But one of them had a major mould infestation, and the other had holes in the floor and walls, massive gaps around all of the doors, no insulation, and made a creepy whistling noise whenver there was wind. Also the neighbours were psychotic and one was a drug dealer.

Fun times

I am one of those people who thinks of everything. Short term and long. Like pros/cons, cost benefit analysis type thing.

It could be all for naught as there may not be any in person chemistry like you said.

Oh 100% the same. But its a bit premature till you know if shes a open mouth chewer or a big fan of farting in bed or some other horrible stuff. Kiss the girl first is my point.
