<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

Background: This is a throwaway account. I met a young lady about a month ago and we've been seeing one another fairly regularly since then. Just after I asked her out for our first date but before we went out I lost my job which isn't a big deal in itself. I am, however, starting grad school in the fall--as is she--so I'm leaving the area in a couple of weeks. She's leaving for grad school--somewhere about 2500 miles from where I am going to be--in August. I really like spending time with her and if neither of us were leaving the area we could just let our relationship run its course but we don't have that luxury so I've come to the reddit hivemind for some insight.

Issue 1: How stupid is it even to consider a long distance relationship with her? Of course, I need to talk to her about it but am I being dumb even thinking about trying?

Issue 2: I'm a virgin; she's not. We were fooling around the other night and she said we should talk about STDs and said she was clean. I dropped the bomb that I'd never had sex and had always thought I'd lose my virginity to the person I married. Since I lost my religion a couple years ago I just kind of let that idea stand since the only person I seriously dated in the intervening three years--for two of them in fact--was somewhat religious and wanted to wait. Am I trying to hold onto a (stupid) Christian idea without its theological, metaphysical and anthropological grounding? In other words, is there a good reason for me to not have sex with this beautiful young woman?

Thanks, in advance.
<bot>: Dating a girl for a month. Both going to grad school far apart. Am I stupid for (1) thinking about a long distance relationship and (2) not having sex with her?
