One will always go with the easiest choice, will not take risks and dare to walk that way....

One will always go with the easiest choice, will not take risks and dare to walk that way.... and off topic this is what separates the successful self made 1% to the 99%, risk.... back on topic. those that risk in love sometimes gets rewarded vs the person that never takes risks and then complains he or she is alone. |

If it is true love and temporary, it should be able to work, but still difficult. I say temporary because if the two involved really love one another then one could assume that plans would be in place for the two to live together therefore the distance would no longer be an issue. However you did say start. That could be problematic and not worth the endeavor. Unless there is more to the story that I am not privy to. Yes the question point is about starting a relationship (online) e.g. dating somebody you know from mingle2 I have met 5 women from mingle, 2 serious. but all from the state I was in at the time. I would not want to get involved with someone in another country. I just don't see logistically how that could possibly work out. |

Definitely would. To me why would I want to miss out on a chance for something beautiful. There is no distance so great that my heart will not travel.

If I don't have chemistry online with a man, I am not going to meet him in person. Every man I met in person we had chemistry. That doesn't mean we were in love or that a relationship would develop.
Meeting in person for me is a Date. Because my first meets traveled here. We talked hours on the phone for couple months!! I just had a man online, say to me , he would work on helping me move to NY. I told him I have no desire to live there. I rarely know him or have met in person. Yes he is a Real person. ![]() I'm not moving just to any State, I have two in mind. |

I admit to being very naive about this but I think all relationships are a risk whether the person lives 2 or 2000 miles away.
For me some people are simply worth taking the risk for . |

Yes fascinating, so what happens if he cant afford to fly over, do you fly to see him? I ask this because I was on another site which is now defunct and there were two people one lived in Bristol UK and the other I think Ohio, both didn't have a passport and neither was willing to leave their countries to meet but they call each other the loves of their lives what do you think? |

They probably are....I would buy them a plane ticket so they could see each other...I think it’s very romantic....well I’m currently teaching English in China I am from America but I have a passport and if I met the love of my life I wouldn’t care where they were I would go to the ends of the earth to be with them... |

You are hopeless romantic aren't you? Ive always wondered why they call it "hopeless romantic" |

I think a lot of these posts are a result of watching too many chick flics. Very romanticized but not terribly realistic.

Ive always wondered why they call it "hopeless romantic" I guess I am I don’t label myself but I wouldn’t call it hopeless life is all about what your willing to do for yourself and others...I was an advocate of animals and was in dog rescue in the states for many years and decided to pick up and move to China to fight the dog meat trade here...I don’t sit on the sidelines when I want something I make it happen nothing is hopeless if it’s something you want bad enough... |

yes that makes sense, I thought I might have screwed up another term.
But I do wonder why they call it "hopeless romantic"? What city are you in? Ive been to China many times, if that too personal I understand. |

I watch every horror movie I get the chance to. ![]() And let's not jump to hasty conclusions...I didn't identify any one post as the target of my post. ![]() I do however feel that life presents enough challenges as it is; why add to the list with a vast distance to overcome? Work smarter, not harder. ![]() |
