Long Distance?
Posted : 17 Apr, 2016 06:30 PM

Is everyone against long distance these days? I am not even talking internationally, just someone living in another state. I have had several long distance relationships, one of which lasted over 2 years. I guess since I have had experience with them, I have a more positive outlook. I also love traveling and wouldn't have a problem with flying to see the person. As someone also open to relocation, I wouldn't mind eventually moving so that we can be closer. Unfortunately, it seems I am in the minority. I understand the reasons people are hesitant, but if you are not finding anyone near your city then why not?

Woah Roxanne,



massive question !!!



I think you started at the best point, you are not looking at it the same as everyone else, I would be probably right in thinking that a lot of people on here are focused on keeping their job and acquiring a mate, the risk of being wrong is too high a price, why shop abroad when you can nip down to the local store...... you got it right, you are in the minority, to hazard a guess 3-4%, ouch that hurt ?? hmm maybe not, because that would make you rare, exclusive and a more unique brand of person, sometimes being in the minority just makes you a little harder to find and not so common.



You seem eloquent and are beautiful, don't give up on being you, go get a pilots license instead, Raptor Aircraft, Inc are developing a really nice cross country model...... :-)



Big smiles



Otis

Some people do not like change, or certainly inconvenience. Some part of it might be financial or ties to family that there is no way they can re-locate.



Some guys (probably some even on here) are just hounds and if your body is 600 miles away, the chance of getting some action is pretty low.



I would love to find out my dream girl lived just up the street. For now I am content knowing that she is around, somewhere, and I am willing to talk to many women, make friends, learn more, until I do find her.

If face-face communication is very infrequent, it's hard to build a strong relationship. I had one with a lady 1500 miles away. The communication was one reason it didn't work.



As for willingness to relocate, that depends a lot on one's situation. Those who have kids who must visit the ex-parent, for example, may be unable to relocate.

I'm willing to relocate, but i am 57 years old. I think it is harder for young people with kids, because of jobs, schools, ex's, etc.

I have been writing to a nice guy here for a year, and hope we can meet soon. Money is a big factor.

Thanks to all the replies. I do not have children and I guess I'm blessed to work in a field that would allow me to move anywhere. Perhaps someone will come along, or else I will end up moving to an area where there are more options in my vicinity.
