Author	Thread: Willing to Relocate
Admin	Willing to Relocate Posted : 28 Aug, 2010 06:11 AM I'm surprised at how many profiles say that the guy is willing to relocate. Is this really true? If so, why would you want to leave everything you have behind? Yes, I know you can go back and visit, but that's just not the same. Thanks for your view on this subject. Post Reply
View Profile History	Willing to Relocate Posted : 28 Aug, 2010 06:43 AM I have that marked because I move a lot and will continue to move a lot more for the foreseeable future, going to school and seeing new places so it's pretty up in the air as far as where I actually live goes and there really isn't anything I'll be leaving behind that I would actually miss because it's all been so temporary anyway. I've never really had any control over where I live and now that I do I don't have much of a sense of home, so now I embrace the phrase 'You can't go back home'. Portland? San Diego? Phoenix? Minneappolis? Boston? New York? Germany? Anywhere that sounds interesting? Sure why not? I've got the rest of my life to settle down and live in one place and once you do you're trapped and can't go back. Post Reply
View Profile History	Willing to Relocate Posted : 28 Aug, 2010 07:34 AM I've kinda been in the same boat, having moved a few times in my life. As well, I will be done with college in about nine months, and will go wherever the Lord leads me (and hopefully where there are jobs!). Post Reply
Tulip89 View Profile History	Willing to Relocate Posted : 28 Aug, 2010 09:16 AM Well I like moving. I'm not looking to relocate right now, as I still have to finish school, but there's nothing special about living in one place. Houses are just houses, and you can find Christian community anywhere.

DontHitThatMark View Profile History	Willing to Relocate Posted : 28 Aug, 2010 10:43 AM Yeah...I'd have to ask why someone would put "no way". Even if God leads you somewhere else? Just seems kinda "limiting" or something. "Ok, God...you can lead me anywhere...but only as long as it's close to home where I'm comfortable..." :peace::peace: Post Reply
View Profile History	Willing to Relocate Posted : 28 Aug, 2010 11:03 AM Maybe it would be better if they asked something like, "Are you interested in a long distance relationship?" Some people are open to that while others aren't. I'm in one right now and it's really, really, really difficult to not have the physical affection (especially since that is my love language)... But I'm very fond of him and we're looking to bridge the distance gap, which means that one of us will be relocating at some point probably. He's looking for a job out here right now. Post Reply
skinnywhiteboy View Profile History	Willing to Relocate Posted : 28 Aug, 2010 11:55 AM I love moving, I was going to move in with my Aunt after my Uncle died, but that never came about, so I'd see it as no different than trying to be closer to someone I loved Post Reply
View Profile History	Willing to Relocate Posted : 28 Aug, 2010 04:00 PM Relocating when you're young makes sense, compared to when you're "older". (In my opinion, of course.) Any thoughts about relocating from those of you 40+ with kids and family in the area you're currently living, have a career and no chance of a transfer, or aging parents to take care of? Post Reply
View Profile History	Willing to Relocate Posted : 28 Aug, 2010 06:37 PM Well, my love interest is in his 40s, so I'll just speak for him. He's a member of this site, but hasn't participated in the forums for a few weeks now. He is living quite close to his family in Florida right now and I'm here in Washington close to my family. His dad is getting up there in years too. And he's been trying to find a job out here for awhile now, but w/ the economy and all, hasn't had any luck so far. But, he's still willing to move to be near me. When we first got together, we talked about the distance issue and decided that we shouldn't let that stand in our way as an obstacle. I think that when you want to make something work, that you do what you can to make it work. And I think that God opens doors for us in unexpected ways sometimes and that when we set our own way firmly, we're not able to see the better way that He has mapped out for us. Also, moving can be a challenge for anyone, not just people over 40! Many people, regardless of age, have circumstances in their lives that seem to preclude moving from being a possibility.

SilverFire View Profile History	Willing to Relocate Posted : 28 Aug, 2010 08:22 PM Well, to be blunt honest, I don't have much here. I'm a loner and I can fail at finding a good church wherever I go. I don't have kids; my parents are in another state, and I have zero debt. So I can move wherever. I would like to stay in the South, though. On another level, we don't have anything of value down here anyways. The important things are always with us. Post Reply
firebird80 View Profile History	Willing to Relocate Posted : 28 Aug, 2010 09:50 PM Who says the person is leaving everything they have behind?? I'm ready to get out of here and explore a new place when it's God's timing. My family isn't here although they are close enough. I have a job I can take anywhere. My best friends don't even live here. Some people are very rooted. But don't assume everyone is. Post Reply
