Dating someone who's moving across the world

Hi all,

After some much needed advice, pretty please!

About 6 weeks ago I started dating this INCREDIBLE woman. We met on a dating app. I never intended to meet anyone from the app, I just enjoyed the swiping game every now and again! Somehow this woman came out of the ether and we started talking and discovered so many similarities. We're scarily compatible. After chatting for a couple of weeks, we met up and had the most amazing unexpected 16 hour first date...!

We chat every single day and we've tried to fit in as many fun and romantic dates as possible because she's moving from Melbourne Aus to London in a couple of weeks. It's been the most incredible couple of months of my life. We've gone hiking, stayed in the countryside for a weekend, and in a couple of days, we're both flying to the Gold Coast (where her family is from) and I'll stay with her for 4 nights right on the beach. She packed up her Melbourne life before going to the Gold Coast about 2.5 weeks ago and I spent her final night with her. It was really sad leaving the next morning (we both cried a lot) because we hadn't decided on this 4 night visit yet even though I really wanted to visit. We knew this would make it harder saying a second goodbye. So she told me about a week ago that she thought that might have been the last time she saw me.

Anyway, after this 4 night trip, that'll be the last time I see her before she moves to London. She plans to stay for at least a year I believe. She'll get a job when she's over there (she has UK citizenship) and then travel Europe when she can.

This whole relationship has been really open and there have been no expectations from either of us. I'm really scared to talk about it, but I want to ask her whether she'd be happy for me to visit. I'm even more scared to ask her what her thoughts are on long-distance relationships for fear she's completely opposed to them. Before we met for the first time she said to me 'I don't know if this is premature but I feel like I need to tell you that I'm moving overseas for a while in a couple of months, but I'd really love to hang out with you still'. I've NEVER felt this connected to another human being and I know that the strong chemistry and feelings are completely mutual. It's like I've met my match. I have the ability to visit and I've never done a Europe trip (I'm 27) before. I could visit towards the end of the year so we're only apart for 6 months or less at a time with the option to travel there a second time if she stays longer than a year and study or work (I can acquire dual citizenship too).

I'd love some advice on possibly how to broach this conversation with her... I feel like during this trip there needs to be some sort of conversation..... I'm just SO scared that she'll say that she has loved this time but doesn't want to be tied down.

Any thoughts on this? Thanks to anyone who has the patience to read all of this!

 

I don't think I communicated an important point properly.... or at all.... I'm DEFINITELY going to say something! Regardless of the fear of her response. I'm going to tell her I really want to visit her. Or ask her if she'd be happy for me to visit her. I guess that means that if she agrees to that, I'd want to know that going over there she hasn't stated seeing someone else.... that would break my heart. So I supposed there would have to be some sort of 'expectations' set..?
