Over the years, I have met some nice people online who do not live in my area and this seems to be an issue among others regarding relocating into your or the person’s town. I am not talking about dating or being unsure about the person. It implies that you know that you want to spend the rest of your life with that person that you met online and eventually spent quality time in person.

Would you relocate for someone? If so why?

If not, what is stopping you from relocating?

I would. There is nothing keeping me where I am, I have no ties here.
I have stayed put to raise my sons, and they are older now. True love can be hard to find, I wouldn't want to assume that it has to be in my own 100 mile radius...
And I love an adventure

I think many people, especially in this age group, can't relocate due to kids, established careers, etc. But I think it's something you need to know you could do if it came down to it, BEFORE you even consider a long-distance relationship. Actually, that decision should be made before you even begin speaking with someone. You need to know "could I, if?" If the answer is no, for whatever reason, don't even bother.

sure, i would have no problems with relocating to another place...my only concern would be the job. i am sure i could transfer to another job ( i work at Walmart ). so, i don't think that would would be a real issue. i would only relocate if the connection that we had was a strong one, a very strong one. then and only then...would i seriously relocate.

very, very true....great answer

I am moving from Scotland to England to be with the man i love.

It wasnt an easy decision, and im still a bit nervous about it, but the way i see it, home is where the heart is, my heart is with Dan, and it makes more financial sense for me to move to him than for him to move to me. Lots of things had to be considered, and its not easy, but we want to be together, so its happenin.

I totaly agree.

And i am that lucky man!

I cannot wait, just a couple of months to go. Less even.

congratulations, my friend....

Won't happen! I have a house & family here!

is very cool...

Thank you Bill!

Yeh!! thanks Bill!

I probably wouldn't relocate until my son graduates from HS which is 5 more years and even then, I have a great job which doesn't transfer and I live it a beautiful state so it's doubtful... I'd love to "retire" to another state though...

Good answer and I think everyone does that. However, my question is would you or would you not relocate? What is more important to you.....love or established career?

Congratulation to you and Dan. Wish you all the happiness!

You got a sister? LOL

So you would wait 5 years being "single" (that is if you have not found anyone locally) before looking outside of your area?

Actually, you wouldn't believe the number of people who don't consider it until it's too late. Then they have their hearts broken.

And yes, I would, if certain situations could be resolved. I was considering it, actually, but my boyfriend ended up moving to be with me. That was mostly due to the economy, I had a good, stable job in a part of the country that was relatively stable compared to other parts of the country. I wouldn't have been able to find a job where he lived and his job was iffy. So, he ended up moving here. My son was the other consideration but his dad was considering moving out of the area as well and most likely would have relocated too. But, I'm lucky that I have an ex who I have a very good relationship with who was willing and able to do that. Not everyone is in my situation, matter of fact most people aren't.

As it stands now, my boyfriend is back in school and we'll probably relocate when he and my son graduate, which is about the same time.

Love is a crazy thing.....if I met the right person and all options and career would work...Of course all things considered it is certainly possible..

Haha thanks! She does have a sister but she is taken for i am afraid. Im pretty sure you would have to move to Scotland if you wanted her anyway.
