You do not meet her contact requirements

She has set her notifications that prevent communication from those in faraway lands. I send her a LIKE in hopes that she will reconsider her position and allow a message to be received from another continent. I can understand her reluctance - this person she desires should be within 50 miles or less for practical reasons - and where too would I find the money to pay for a flight (when flights resume more as they should) to get her to me or vice versa? I'm idealistic, I know, but shouldn't we believe love will find out the way? As per the following poem:

Love Will Find Out The Way

Over the mountains
And over the waves,
Under the fountains
And under the graves;
Under floods that are deepest,
Which Neptune obey,
Over rocks that are steepest,
Love will find out the way.

When there is no place
For the glow-worm to lie,
When there is no space
For receipt of a fly;
When the midge dares not venture
Lest herself fast she lay,
If Love come, he will enter
And will find out the way.

You may esteem him
A child for his might;
Or you may deem him
A coward for his flight;
But if she whom Love doth honour
Be conceal'd from the day-
Set a thousand guards upon her,
Love will find out the way.

Some think to lose him
By having him confined;
And some do suppose him,
Poor heart! to be blind;
But if ne'er so close ye wall him,
Do the best that ye may,
Blind Love, if so ye call him,
He will find out his way.

You may train the eagle
To stoop to your fist;
Or you may inveigle
The Phoenix of the east;
The lioness, you may move her
To give over her prey;
But you'll ne'er stop a lover-
He will find out the way.

If the earth it should part him,
He would gallop it o'er;
If the seas should o'erthwart him,
He would swim to the shore;
Should his Love become a swallow,
Through the air to stray,
Love will lend wings to follow,
And will find out the way.

There is no striving
To cross his intent;
There is no contriving
His plots to prevent;
But if once the message greet him
That his True Love doth stay,
If Death should come and meet him,
Love will find out the way!

This woman is doing no harm by recognising her practical limitations, perhaps quite the opposite.

Why do you want to control other people's belief systems, if they do no harm?

I respect that. Practical considerations are important but maybe idealistic considerations are also important?

I don't seek to control other people's belief systems. I'm just suggesting something. People can choose what they want to believe ; )
Idealistic considerations are all well and good, as well as lovely and fluffy, but they must match the other person's considerations as well.

It is easier to be idealistic if you can afford it too smile

I guess if it's not a good personality match (idealistic vs practical) then it probably won't work. But stranger things have happened in this world and all sorts of odd match-ups are possible, I reckon.

You have a point.
Zen, don't lose your idealism, just search for someone else who shares your views.
We have seen matches here of people far away from each other geographically but close together in their values. They have made it work.
That's very hopeful news :D Thanks.

Hhmmm? But would I introduce you? Tell me more.
Sorry ash wave
Nice poem! smitten
Hmm..Zen..I see you've also got some settings which do not allow certain members to contact??uh oh
@miclee. Whoooaa.most persons including our Usha who travelled will self-quarantine for 1-2 weeks.
And airlines will not tell you what each State is abiding by. Dude Abides.head banger
Ahem...his birthday's coming up.go fund him.
Merc, no prob.hug
Darn it....well there goes my suggestion.
She is my " older" sister.moping

conversing Maybe Usha?
@Ashlander Thanks for Pisces-Virgo compatibility assessment. Hopefully, the right person will be a Pisces : )

@ AI_1984
You said, 'Hmm..Zen..I see you've also got some settings which do not allow certain members to contact??' That's true but women can contact me from anywhere - I just don't want a married woman, let's say, to contact me.
Thanks miclee for your advice. I tend to think that once she finds out I've been dishonest, I'm history but who knows...it might work with some gal : )
confused I thought it was the age restriction.
What are you referring to Zen?
OK? Dishonest..is your poem written by someone else?dunno
laugh Zen ..? Don't you disappear again.
Right, I'm off again - I've spent all day, virtually, on the 'puter. I need to go and have another bite and find my place in the sun and read. So long, all.
Zen..you also say you don't want "separated" "not single not looking"...
But you're also looking for friends/penpals...
And you sent me a "Like" ???

Anyway..never mind.

Good luck with your search for whatever..?teddybear
ashlander, the poem on the current blog is not my own...it's an anonymous olde English poem. It's a great poem...maybe one day I'll be able to write something just as good.
Anyway, I'm about to go but if there's something you want to tell me...

That's EXACTLY Why you tell her what you did -- The Very First Thing!!
You'll score Honesty Points -- Even if you're Not! grin

Always remember -- The most important thing is Sincerity.
If you can fake That -- You got it made cheers

@miclee fake sincerity...sorry, dude, it's not in my DNA blushing
Oh yes..I see that now, posted at the bottom.

Thanks!
@Miclee no one should have to fake sincerity.
Either it matters or does not.( to one or the other or both).The insincerity might be what they say these days...rolling on the floor laughing can't write that here. How about
Rhett Butler instead."..frankly...".
rolling on the floor laughing miclee that was not an example of insincerity.
Give me yours.
No bluffing ...now.Give me an insincere example.
