perhaps if I lived in a small town and I could afford... flying halfway around the world.... just to get.hmm.. meet a new friend..biggrin ...
.. if cost wasn't a concern... or keeping a career that you have spent years building up.... and you didn't have children..... sure why not...

.... I have women message me all the time saying how they'd be willing to move here .. but I always talk them out of it.....
. if the relationship did not work out I would feel guilty..
.... but then there is this dilemma..
. I am going through it right now..
. she came visited.... she visited again and came... I mean she came and visited again..:angel:
... but the problem is every time we're apart.. it is painful..no..lol..
. missing her is painful.. not having her around everyday..... only seeing each other occasionally..... no thank you... I suppose online has helped.. the airline industry immensely....lol..
.... so to summarize if you don't live in my city no.... and this is just my opinion.. but everytime I hear about people traveling great distances.. to be with their so called love of their life.... I always think desperation....
.. perhaps if you were travelling abroad and you met someone.. spent a week with them then sure.... but to go all that way, for someone you have never met..hmm.. me love you long time Charlie....laugh

This is just so wrong...we know you disagree with LDRS, you have stated it quite a few times now.....but how on earth does falling in love with someone half way around the world and wanting to be together translate into desperation....
even if people disagree I think a bit of respect is what is needed...we are mostly all here to find someone and fall in love.....aren't we????

As for that last sentence, it might have been okay to say that in the mid 80s....but now, that is soooo wrong...anyone who would say "me love you long time".....most of us from that era know it is a reference to Asian women, is either A. a complete prick/racist, or B. someone who thinks they are funny, and are not....
So not funny...

Is there any distance that you would travel to meet your true love?

I was willing to meet someone from NZ by visiting him. I've had male friends who I met online who were willing to travel from different countries and continents. In the summer, an Englishman I met online on another site who lives in Thailand is going to visit me. I want to see if we are compatible in person. I believe that if you are serious about someone, distance is no object and if he makes excuses about the distance between you, then it's just a copout.
I honestly don't care for that really long distance,could be in a different country,but when we're talking different time zones,I'm not pursuing anything like that,only way I see a chance of that, is if we actually met first in person as opposed to online,I took a shot at it once,not for me,especially if you're not planning to meet no time soon,and no, I don't mean TOO soon,I basically had my "love life"(so to speak)on pause,not knowing the true status of that person,yeah I know about all that faith and trust blah blah ECT,but you can all quote me on this,I'M NOT TRAVELING ANY LONG AZZ DISTANCE TO MEET KNOW ONE,+I'm not going ask no one to,if someone want to do that,by all means,but if someone would do it for me,then I'd definitely do it for them,I don't mean to discourage anyone at all though,I'm just speaking for myself!!

I did travel a very long distance for a relationship and more, the guy did not reciprocate and now he is my ex and I'm mad at men. It's up to you but in my experience it doesn't work out unless the guy cooperates.

distance is a relative term. mine lives an hour and a half away. so we can't be together all the time. there's give and take. making time for each other. we communicate on a daily basis even if we don't see each other every day.
it's looking at what matters and making it work

I'm on the side that LDR that exceed a few hundred miles are just not doable or real. You can't see each other enough to find out how the relationship works on a daily level. I did have a relationship where we met locally but he ended up traveling overseas for long periods of time. So, after the first year we would see each other 3 times a year. Took it's toll and then the cheating started, not me. Him. I didn't know about the cheating for 3 years. Then it was another year of extricating myself.

It's a tricky one isn't it.
I'd give it a go but maybe see each other as much as possible for a couple of years. I'm sure you'd know after a while if you would get on each others nerves, or if the chemistry was there.

I think men will cheat eventually, but it's up to him to solve the distance problem so that it doesn't happen like that.

not all men cheat I can name at least ten I know who never have cheated.

once you establish a relationship, it's up to both to keep it going.

As if women have never cheated while their men were away.

... but it's up to him to solve the distance problem

Actually, it is up to both parties to solve the distance problem.

Men are like dogs, they stray sometimes..but then they always come home. And they often need to be taken to the vet for a check up when that happens.


... and the misandry continues. whoa
