I find myself quite smitten by a lass in New Zealand, I am Alaskan. Very large distance with respect to miles and there is also a quirky and sometimes down right devastating language gap/barrier. What to do? This lady is beautiful, wonderful and scary. Those who have the know please speak. I won't throw vegetables at the dumb stuff, promise.

i speak to someone in Canada and we get on really well, but we are both aware of the distance and keep a close check on reality. Not helpful really sorry but distance is a bummer !!

But that will always be there anyway, men being from Mars and women from Venus...
I don't know, I'd think anything is possible when you do meet your right match. Although it couldn't have been more ironic, LOL, Alaska and New Zealand!! Good luck, I'd think the first thing would be to meet up for a holiday somewhere mid-way and then see how things go.

I am a big romantic so here is what i will say..LOVE HAS NO DISTANCE...ok mushy i know but if it feels right for you both then what the heck........

Canadians are blue in my red book, I have many a friend there in reality, I can throw a rock and smack 'em from here, good folk. Thanks my fair lady

Bless your heart, I was thinking somewhat about the same

You and I seem to see many things through the same life goggles, I smooch the

Good Luck whatever you do

Don't think I have a certain country where I always fall for the blokes more

The last one I was with was from Australia about a 22 hour flight away from me

If that's any help to answering your questions though

Not to be a shit, just you visiting my thread helps somehow

Distance is a killer....but what is the language issue? Don't you speak a sort of English in Alaska? They certainly do in NZ

Fallingman, one of my newest favs - Um - Yes, but the slang trips me up and she writes and speaks so fast, I thought *I* was the lang dominator - *Nope* Ug

Distance is a killer but also life is too short go for it. You never know whats round the corner your a long time dead.

Gosh lady, you are so upbeat, makes me want to strangle you, kidding, you are right

"I'm willing to fly to the moon if my lady happens to be there", seems she's a bit closer than that so whatcha bitchin about?

Once I sat two feet away from someone on a couch, and might as well have been in another galaxy, so distance is another of those things with relatives,


I had a totally head- over- heels, heartpoundingly dizzy on line and phone calls with someone from Sardinia. I learned to read and write (not speak) Italian and my poetry became Romantic, my letters erotic.

He came to NY (where I lived at the time) and we had a wonderful three days. At dinner on the fourth day he got a little tipsy. At dinner on the fifth day he drank two bottles of wine and when we got home he got agitated and I sat very very still as he held my throat with both hands and spoke at considerable length.

I suspect he was telling me of a lost love or his miserable childhood. I do not actually know, because he was whispering for the most part. And speaking Italian.

There was no sixth night, and he was very puzzled as he clearly had no memory of doing anything that might have a negative effect on my attitude.

I have never been cured of 'in love' quite so quickly before, it usually took a couple of weeks for the fairy dust to rub off. (I do not consider 'in love' to be 'true love', that is stage two).

I did get some interesting hybrid poems, and might even have gained some emotional depth from the experience so I am glad I did not shut myself off from it.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

The only way to fail, is never to try.

and...

What? You wanna live forever?

Three things I read that have stayed with me. They do not work for everyone but I like them.

Now, I have said this before, that's just not right

At least I know you somewhat like me

And Bighead Ug, shutup...

I want at least a rutabaga!

Many men have tried that, you find their bodies buried some where remote if knew where to look.
