Do men find it hard to date a woman so far away? Can culture ever be a barrier in pursuing the woman of your dreams? Honest opinion only.

I don't think culture would be an issue for me, though distance almost certainly would. Things would be different if I was already involved with someone before we became long distance. But I can't see myself traveling thousands of miles to meet a virtual stranger for a first date.

Hmmm John. Thanks for your view. Lets wait and see if there's others who thinks differently. Blessings and best wishes, Aby.

culture i can learn,trying to engage a intimate exclusive relationship with someone more than about 100 miles/61 km away? unrealistic.... not saying it is impossible,just not realistic for me at this station in life....

NO it should not be a problem.



I understand that we live in a diverse world where there are different customs and cultures. However, we here at CDFF we all have something in common - that is we all believe in Jesus Christ (I hope so!)



Now, whether you are Indian, African, Chinese wouldn't matter much because of the common denominator that we all have. Therefore our cultures now come second (they become irrelevant in my opinion)



Now on the Long Distance Issue.



In this day and age we live in, where replying to someone in China or Brazil can take 2 seconds, or logging on to skype and video chatting, long distance is far much easier to be in. Obviously, there is that period where you actually need the face to face interaction, but depending on your reason being on this site eventually you are going to meet. (Right? :-) )



Make no mistake it is very hard but as I mentioned above, technology has made long distance a non issue! At least to me.....



God Bless You

Jah, I agree. Guess we have come to an age where people have almost forgotten how to communicate face to face,but modern technology even with your closest neighbor!

you mentioned a different view and Sis Truefriend67 i here for You:yay: the ironic thing i have seen among people's who have met someone online and pursued relationship is LIFESTYLE's,it seems they meet this person and happy talky,fun talky, talking and ,and everything is EPIC and then they meet in RealLife and suddenly Reality sets in,OH MY GOODNESS ! You are a Total slob....or,i know You said You have 1 or 2 drinks on occassion, You did not mention every hour is a new occassion...or,ok You said You were a neat freak,Wow! You really give new meaning to the term neat freak.or, well i do remember You mentioned You play Farmville, You failed to mention You play it 24/7....i know,these things may seem trivial,but when facing them day in and day out,they can wear on a person.... i admit i kinda laugh at the thought of cyberdating,welcome to cyberlife were everything is EPIC and everyone is pretty,and noone has smelly feet,and vegans and carnivores can dine together happily and we can all sit around in our favorite sweats and t-shirt and upload pixs of ourselves in our sunday bests and everything is great so long as the modem doesnt crash:ROFL:

maybe i am jaded Realfriend67 ? but You really nailed it on the head,often People dont think,my view is realistic as one of my jobs is benevolence officer at our church and on more than several occassions there has been the knock at my office door and there is a young lady/man standing there,and their story starts like this," I met someone online and all was great" and then they proceeds to tell me all about how they are now very far from home,broke,scared...

so i figure atleast one reader is going to think, Ha! that would never happen to me.....

and so i avidly pursue this blog of Your's with WARNING

THINK,THINK! THINK.... investigate!

do not let Your emotions/hormones/unrealistic dreams, expectations get the best of You....

hope this helps someone......
