Should I go or stay?

I am a single woman of 28. I have lived in Gauteng all my life and love it. I have a good job, a loving and supportive family and great friends.

I am a single woman of 28. I have lived in Gauteng all my life and love it. I have a good job, a loving and supportive family and great friends.

A year ago I met a man while I was on holiday in Cape Town. He is kind, caring, good-looking, successful, ambitious, supportive, loving - the perfect partner.

We have been travelling up and down to each other for months and it is becoming too much for us. He has a very good job with no chance of a transfer here. He wants me to move there and marry him. My company has agreed to give me a transfer at the same salary.

I am worried about leaving my family and friends. What if I don't like living there or he dumps me and I have no support system? What if I can't make new friends? Please advise me.

Reluctant Mover, Johannesburg

You are a lucky woman to have found a wonderful man and a good job at the same salary in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
