It's not something I regret though, because LDR taught me a lot of things. Some of it I probably already knew, but had to re-learn in a harder way. Here's some of it:

There's a major misnomer that going on a date means that you will have to pay a small fortune for a restaurant bill, a movie, and maybe an Uber ride home. Though it's true that date nights can cost upward of $200, the fact is that people who are broke can also date without looking cheap.
