Verdict In

should i leave the shop i built here for a man i've only met in person twice?

ok so backstory... i (34f) run my little shop alone, been six years since i opened it, i live right above it, it's basically my whole life. last spring a man (37m) came in for a reading during the tourist season, we talked for four hours after i closed, and since then it's been calls almost every night, he's in vermont, three hours away but it feels like a different world when you're closing a shop solo every evening. he asked me last week to just... come. not marry him, not even officially move in, just try it, he has space, there's a metaphysical shop looking for a reader there too. but that means giving up my lease, my regulars, the apartment i've had since i was 27, all of it, on a feeling and two in person meetings and a lot of moon talk on the phone. my mercury retrograde brain says run, my actual brain says you're 34 and lonely and maybe that's not the same as love. i keep pulling the same card lately (the tower, cool cool) and i don't know if that's a sign or just my own anxiety shuffling the deck 🌙 genuinely torn, please just tell me what a stranger would do

Six years of roots in one place is not nothing; I've traced ancestors who moved for love and regretted uprooting more often than not. Stay put; let him prove himself first.

OMG the FOUR HOUR first conversation though 😭✨ that's how half my couples start!! GO chase it girl, love doesn't wait for a perfect lease!! 💍

@destinyv_nightdrive

had a guy in my back seat tell me he moved across the country for someone he met twice. saw him again eight months later still driving for me lol. stay. build something real first

@garyh_brewsit

three hours away and mostly moon talk? that's a lot of head brewing on not much yeast lol. maybe visit longer before you bottle this one up 🍺

@tammysue_karaoke

GIRL life is short and love is rare, go find out if it's real!! six years of solo closing shifts deserves a little magic 💕🎤

@owenf_64square

You pulled the Tower twice. That's not noise, that's a pattern. I'd stay and consolidate before sacrificing a strong position for an unproven one.
