I'm going to go against most advice here. Go for the job.

I've been in your position. I moved to the USA from Australia to work my dream job. While there I met the girl I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with. She decided to move to the UK. I dropped everything to follow her.

I lived in a city that I did not find interesting.

I worked a job just for the money (you can imagine how quickly I burnt out).

I was surrounded by people every day that I couldn't connect with.

Over a year later and now I'm finally getting back to what I want to do with my life. We're not on this earth for long mate, make the most of your time.

I agree 100%. Don't run your life around a girl. If something happens and you split you will regret that choice the rest of your life.

Go live the life you want and she might follow you.

Great perspective - really interesting to hear from someone who has been on the other side and it didn't work out (initially)

Thanks for sharing
