Author	Thread: Distance
Admin	Distance Posted : 11 Aug, 2009 08:34 PM This is an online dating site where people are from all over the world. But, is distance a dealbreaker for you, even if you are really interested in what the person said in their profile? Or will you still write and see where it goes? Post Reply
ian777 View Profile History	Distance Posted : 11 Aug, 2009 09:51 PM Distance isn't an issue for me, because I wind up driving ridiculous distances anyway - and, if I'm interested, I'll drive it! It does cause some concerns thought - and there is limits because I'm not a rich guy. There are other concerns that have been brought up elsewhere; like, you don't know what's going on on the other end - they may meet someone "local" and before you know it, you're out of the picture. There are also things that you really can only learn about each other in person. Plus, things like when you do get engaged, there's things like marriage counseling - you'll wind up moving one of you to the other real quick for things like that. Anyway - no, it's not a deal breaker for me, but the hesitancy is directly proportional to the distance. That's engineering terms for "The farther they are away, the less interested I am."

tristan07 View Profile History	Distance Posted : 12 Aug, 2009 06:18 PM I, personally, and NOT a fan of distance. for very very good reasons. It's done nothing for me, and has only hurt me, and allowed me to hurt others. If I can't see my woman when I need to see her, forget it. but that's just me. alot of others are willing, oddly enough, to go the extra distance (pun intended) for the person they feel they should be with. it's a moot point for me now, but no, I am not a fan.

View Profile History	Distance Posted : 12 Aug, 2009 10:08 PM not a fan here either, but if something in their profile catches my eye I will still email them, even if nothing happens but we exchange pleasantries and that's it. You can't put God in a box, we don't know who He has planned for us or where they are. There are a couple of ladies on this site that if I didn't write them because of distance, I wouldn't have a couple of people praying for me. Even if all that happens is we end up being email buddies and prayer partners its another believer in my life. CAN'T HAVE TOO MANY OF THOSE!!!:applause: Post Reply

View Profile History	Distance Posted : 18 Aug, 2009 07:59 PM my stratagy with long distance is take it really really really slow. low expectations. amuse and support her, if and when you happen to be talking. and if one of us happens to be in the neighborhood someday, then we should meet up. and even then it's hard to be anything more than just friends because there are so many hoops to jump through and variables that you have no control over like timing, things that are happening on their end, and trust. technically it's not a deal breaker because there's still that first spark of initial infatuation, but it's a very shakey bridge to walk on and 9.9 times out of 10 it will fall and you'll get hurt in a really ugly dragged out way :toomuch: that's been mine and my friends experience with that anyway.

KidzWorker View Profile History	Distance Posted : 26 Aug, 2009 11:58 AM I'm a realist. Distance is a huge thing. Ive had a relationship with someone who lived only 20miles away, and we just didnt see enough of each other to make it work. To talk about relationships over continents, I would say an instant no unless i have already met them face2face. If i have met them (them in my country or me in theirs) and we both think things could work out afterwards, I'd be up for giving it a try. But i would be very aware of the distance. If im seeing someone, I WANT TO SEE THEM! simples Post Reply
View Profile History	Distance Posted : 11 Jul, 2010 11:04 PM I always enjoy visiting new places and I am willing to go visit people. Because I live in a very remote region of Alaska any relationship that I pursue, unless it is one of the very few local girls, will be long distance. So I guess I signed up on this site so that I might be able to find a young lady that would be willing to have a long distance relationship. Post Reply
