The entire point of the internet is
to expose you to the different, the
new and the static.

Internet dating is no different.
Your dating pool is exponentially larger.
The choice is..Big Fish in a Little Pond.
Or.
Small Fish in a Big Pond.

Did you know that fish grow to the size
their environment can support them?

Welcome to the big pond.

TheCaptain and I have been in one for the past three years and things are going fantastic!

sounds great. i agree. i am hopefull that i will soon have a fish from that pound. i love to be in that big pound

Any kind of relationship is hard dude. Doesn't matter if it is a local one, or an LDR.

See. I find it curious that people want to blame the distance as the reason why they couldn't handle an LDR. I honestly believe that deep down, the feelings they had for a person (who lived far away) were not that strong. I say this because I am of the belief that when you truly have feelings for one person, that you can overcome any obstacle. I know that sounds cliche. But it really is true. Relationships require work and sacrifice....no matter the distance.

dont worry my man, remember distance is just a measurement between two or more places in space and time. Don't let that discourage you. Distance is only one hurdle. head up, eyes forward, and keep pushing forward my man.

You realize you confuse many when you talk this way.... Not me b/c I know you...

oh and you're right!!!

I have multple personalities.

oh I know...

WHOA lol didn't see that coming haha. good on ya friend

Seems The Prncs was right. I do confuse people.

I told ya...

I think people should at least meet before deciding to be in a relationship

Well I am in a LDR and I have to admit it is tough not being with her on a daily basis. I miss her smile, her touch and the way she looks at me. We are the circumstance of the recession, I have a job 2.5 hours from her. But we talk, a lot. With not being there with her, I don't see her body language when she is talking so I ask more questions to get the correct answer. Work work work is what it takes for any relationship.

Just my 2 cents.

Goof here believes in a couple of "rules" to follow when deciding to be in a relationship.

(1). Meet up. I mean. DUH!
(2). Kissing within an hour must be attained. If not....have a friend call you and say that your fish got ate by a Piranha. Nothing too extreme though.
(3). After kissing has been established and you approve of his/her techniques, proceed to discussing anal sex.
(4). If anal sex cannot be discussed without the words "Oh! The Horror!", or "Freak!", or "I only do that with my Priest" then see rule number 2.
(5). If you have made it to rule number 5, then most likely you will want to see this person again. If this is the case, make sure date 2 is at Chuck E' Cheese. Trust me. If a couple on a second date survive CEC, then it is love!

I would never make is past #5. I would be arrested for herding the kids into a closet and locking them in for the night.

Rule #6. If on a date with Melody, never take her to a place full of kids.

A LDR can work if you are willing to put the time into it. To me it's no different then being with an over the road truck driver who is only home a few days a month, a pipeliner who is gone for a couple months at a time, or even a constuction worker who is only home on the weekends. IMO the relationship will only be what you make of it.
