Of course you should manage your expectations. But change can be really good for you, and why the hell would you NOT chase a girl if you think she's worth chasing? Because OH NO, it might not work out?

Hmm... Restraining order I guess?
People can have their adventure or be an expat, and that's fine, but it's often more about the adventure or being an expat than about the girl. Or they can get excited about the French/ Japanese girl but is it more about the person or the Frenchness/ Japaneseness?
Or, you know, the opposite. I didn't actually care if I moved or he did. The reality was that it made more sense for both of us if I moved, just like it made more sense for us to get married in the states. We knew each other about 5 years before I moved, generally talking daily.
Naturally, if you aren't a little adventurous, you'd not consider that a viable relationship in the first place, so sure, it has a little bit of it because it must for the relationship to work.
