I have no dream girl. Just who I like and might love.

I understand. I don't think most LDRs can work unless you have special circumstances, like access to money/job if you do move, willingness to travel, and the courage to take a lot of risks and accept it may not work out. I don't think an LDR should remain an LDR for too long. An LDR needs to move toward a normal relationship, and that means being close by so you can be together.

That said, I have seen LDRs work and become marriages. Takes exceptional commitment, understanding, and connectedness. One of my friends bumped into a girl in Japan, and though he spoke no Japanese, maintained a relationship with her by phone, internet, and regular trips visiting her for over a year until she moved to the US and they married several months later. They have been married for a year now and plan to have kids. Happy couple. It can work. Takes luck and lots of hard work. One or the other has to be mobile and have access to money or a job to make things easier and more stable.

If someone wants your time, she'll get in touch with you.

Sex --> feelings --> long-term relationship --> marriage. Sometime, somewhere, some place. Dude, that "live for the moment" BS scares off women. It's a flag that you don't have anything better to do with your time.

Same, but I realize I'm in the minority.

We're paving over the American West, which I think they think is no biggie.

There'll be another time to cry, "Vamos Argentina!" Sorry to hear about the loss. However, enough alfajores can mend even the most broken of hearts. ;)

Let's say reasonably close by. :) I spent some time at the U. Sundance is great too. Not many places have mountains like here.

He also brought pain to a lot of people who didn't mess with us. And he brought us the bankster and Government Motors bailouts. =)

Not at all.

Hello to you also and thank you. Mmm, the 'inversions.' They're the reason why I gave up running, hiking, and biking a couple years ago. It's wonderful to slip away to Park City, though, above and beyond the death fog.

Bookstores, theatre, outdoor adventure clubs, dance lessons or classes, and last but not least, wrestling with gators.

Pretty photos of the Valley, just wish the breathtaking views weren't marred by smog most of the time. It's gotten so bad the last couple years...

I'm glad. You're also lovely. :)

Even Nigerian bank scammers and their ilk need work in these harsh times.

Terrible when a man does that. I look much younger than my age but I'm up front with my age when asked. I've been told I look like a 15-18 year old, which is disconcerting...

Gotta be careful and use common sense of course. There are scammers and other people lurking about.

It's hit and miss. I enjoy talking with some people. Mostly, I've gotten, "lol" or a few ".." as replies, which makes me wonder... I'm ok with not receiving a reply.

IMO, LDRs are fine if you have known the person in real life (as in someone who has moved away) or will meet soon. If it's only internet/online, I think it's a fantasy otherwise and not worth bothering with. It needs to have some grounding in physical reality and time spent together. A photo is worth a thousand words, meeting that person is a million, and knowing a person's mind is priceless. It should move from LDR to a regular relationship if it's meant to be. That itself is a sign of commitment.

Shirt, not the abs, makes the man.

Someone who is not only a lover and friend, but the best of both, who you want to know, grow, and be more with.
