I live in Pennsylvania. I one went on a first date with someone in New York, and two weeks later she moved to Las Vegas and I had a business meeting there a week after that so we had a second date. I told her I'd be interested in a relationship but only if I could find a way to fast-track to elite status on US (this was in the last 6 months before the merger). I told her I couldn't commute regularly PHL-LAS in a regular coach seat. I did a status challenge, and the rest is (deeply regrettable) history.
