At a turtles pace.

Very slow and patiently... considering her at every move..... just like 'rumpy pumpy'

That's why I don't trust long-distance relationships. I dated someone for a while that I met online, back a few years ago. He always came to my place and would stay the night, brought steaks and stuff and cooked me dinner...that part was all great. However, he never let me come to see him, always used the excuse of his college-age daughter living there, and then when she was supposed to be going back to school soon, he broke it up. I always wondered if he was hiding a wife. Never quite trusted him. And he only lived an hour and a half away from me. I would have gone to visit him sometimes instead of him always traveling to me.

I'll be friends long distance, but I don't think I could get into a relationship like that with someone I met online...but, we'll see! I don't want to eat any words later!

I dive right in!!!

That's how I broke my arm last year....

If you click with them, move forward at a pace you are both comfortable with.

That's what I tend to do and sometimes it works for a while and sometimes it doesn't work at all. depending on my agenda or theirs, distance etc.

Recently I met someone who talked about my moving in for as long as I wanted, and I haven't even met him, after talking with him for only a couple of days.

I think attitudes to what is right have a lot to do with cultures too and in Europe there are many cultures with different ideas of what is right.

It just confuses me.

COuldn't tell ya, romantically i just suck...seriously..

Just curious. Would you seriously consider a move like that? Know I wouldn't. With the distances involved with some of the people you meet here, I've even thought of offering to let people stay at house. Have a feeling the offer would be taken as something it was not meant to be, tho.

I've done that...but I point out that I have a guest room...and two big dogs and guns. I haven't had a problem with being mistaken!

Guns & dogs - great equalizers!! How about the other way, tho. If the gent offered to let you stay at his place? Then what would your decision be??

I'd ask him first if he had a guest room, and if I could bring my dogs. Then I'd let him know I was bringing my guns!

I have been married twice. The first time I was 17, we met, fell in love, married 3 months later, had 5 wonderful kids. That one lasted 36 years and ended because he passed away.
Took over 4 years before I felt comfortable talking seriously to other men. Met a guy on line. Gave him my phone number, which normally I will not do. He called that evening, we talked for over 4 hours, came over the next day, I fell head over heels. Moved in with him in 1 month, we married 4 months later, we parted 3 weeks ago and I never want to see him again.
So I plan on taking my time if another gentleman would happen to come into my life. I take love and marriage very seriously and do everything in my power to make things work, but the other person needs to be contributing also or you are fighting a loosing battle.

I have a t-shirt that says, "Firearms, The Ultimate in Feminine Protection"...it's one of my faves!

That is very quick to say the least.

Go with what feels comfortable with you.

Stew!!!

You don't suck...they do!!!

hmm I am clueless .. I dont seem to be doing too good myself so i cant comment

Yes I would move . I have no ties here now. My kids are independant, have their homes and families.

It's not like I am needed here. The place doesn't matter as long as it is warmer than here.

I have things I would still like to do in my life and places I would like to see. I could be happy anywhere. It's about people, not places.

Think you misunderstood me, darlin. I meant moving in/staying with someone you hadn't met other than talking/emailing him/her for a while. I think most of us would move if you found the "one." Maybe thats just my inner voice speaking, tho.

I'd have a hard time moving anywhere cause I wouldn't want to be away from my granddaughter. Can't imagine any man making me as happy as getting to hold her and see her grow up. Here lately I'm only dating locals, it's a lot less complicated.

That's a tough question. I would think we'd have to meet first. I'd have to get to know him. I wouldn't move a great distance for someone I didn't feel I knew fully.

As far as leaving my family... my daughter's talked already about her & her family moving across the country. So, my opinion is that I think she'd want me to go where I'd be happy. I've raised her to be independent. And as for my babies... I'm sure I'd visit them & they'd visit me.
