View Profile History	Cross culture,Long distance: what do you say? Posted : 10 Mar, 2012 10:54 AM Great! Peace. And thanks. I am starting to think of the loopholes of e-dating now. But still I stand to be positive at the same time by being discerning and trusting God. Also I tell you most asians are true and honest online as well.haha. Post Reply

Posted : 10 Mar, 2012 01:51 PM well...... i have tried long distance dating several times and they never worked. not saying that it cant work just that it has never worked for me because 1. even if you like each other internally and externally then after some time....... if you want something as small as a real hug (not an emoticon) then what can you do. whether from one side to the other of a large country or crossing an ocean......most people dont have the luxury of surplus money like that. the time (not necessarily) the distance is the knockout punch. a heart can wait for only so long. the desire to love and be loved is strong. 2. i liked the distance relationship. you get the opportunity to learn a lot about the person because you can periodically call, text, im, email, etc. and after learning about them.....you can know if you want to be with them just as if they lived in the same neighborhood. however, im open to long or short distance relationships because i will engage the relationship the same way....... get to know her as much as i can and if we are compatible then hopefully the lord will open up a way for us to be together. if its god's will it will work regardless of the distance.

Posted : 10 Mar, 2012 01:53 PM please do not get me wrong TrueFriend, i am not anti-E-dating ,lol, if i was i would not be here:ROFL: i know a few couples that cyberdating worked out wonderfully.... just encourage everyone. if You are going to be with YOur special someone... Have a plan B Have a small stash of cash (enough to get back where You came from, or settle in where the LORD has now planted You) Have address's,phone numbers of nearest friends/relative's stashed in the next town, in the event peaches and cream turn out to be lemon's and lime's.... Happy Questing :D Post Reply
View Profile History	Cross culture,Long distance: what do you say? Posted : 10 Mar, 2012 06:26 PM Great observations Focus and Peace. Thanks. I understand time and capital can be an issue with the distance,and I agree everyone should be equipped enough before taking the leap,like educated enough to get a job for sure. I am not one of those to live on my husband's pocket unless he insist:) then I will have to think. .... Focus you are very right,we need to know the person within without no matter short or long. ................, Now peace,I disagree with you on that count where we have to be loaded with titbits to go back in case if it doesnt work. I am not sure about others but I am carved from a different rock, So I will move only to be his forever if ever I take that step.AND I WILL NOT GO BACK NO MATTER WHAT AND WILL NEVER LET HIM GO!

View Profile History	Cross culture,Long distance: what do you say? Posted : 12 Mar, 2012 09:37 PM To be truthful, Culture bothers me next to nothing. I live in the U.S., I talk like a Brit, and I eat like a Svensk. :) The distance...doesn't bother me either very much. Now, having to assume meeting someone on here, and 'dating' them, I don't know if I could do it for a very long time. but I was engaged and had to move away from the fiancee once upon a time. We ended up not being together obviously, but the distance bothered me next to nothing thanks to skype and whatnot, and having been able to physically associate a touch, smell, kiss, hug, laugh, smile, and everything else to her.

Jillybeanhk View Profile History	Cross culture,Long distance: what do you say? Posted : 16 Mar, 2012 06:26 PM Hi True, It can work if both of you are serious and patient. You do have to meet face to face and I say the sooner the better! Then all the unrealistic things you were thinking are brought into reality. Take me for instance - I am an Aussie who lives and works in Hong Kong. I am not attracted to Asian men nor are they attracted to me. So I don't have much choice but to have a long distant relationship even if it's someone I've met here who was passing through. It does have it's shortcomings but I like the fact you can break the ice and talk about deep issues and you can therefore weed out many who you would have nothing in common with. JB Post Reply
