Relationships and Distance
OK. Hands up! Who has on their profile that they will travel any distance for a relationship?I for one have - but have we really thought this through?
The 3 main problems are language, employment and a visa. Which limits where I can go as I can only speak English. Of course given some time I would learn the language of the country I was in. But, would I get a visa or find employment given the current economic climate.
Of course the employment problem could still exist even within your own country with a new partner living 200 miles away (approx 4 hour drive) Can one of you move and still find a job? Can the other support both of you even temporarily. Would driving 200 miles after work on a Friday and a return on a Sunday evening put too much strain on a relationship?
So whats the answer. Should we all be looking for someone within an hours drive?
Nah! that would be boring. Live the adventure!!

And i'm defnetly intrested in hearing what a few fellow bloggers (females ) would say about it (!), or anyone of the sort.
My, perhaps naive, angle on it is: if she is as big of a dreamer as me, we will not have a problem. Cos inspiration can make me do whats needed, and i hope she will feel the same.
"ain't no mountain high enough" -style.
Inspiration is the name of the game for me, so i need a supportive YES type, than i think we can make it work. Even in a tent in the woods. Therefore i say: distance no problem.
HOWEVER, listen, the longdistance ones i been hunting sofar been not on the GO at that proporly. So now im restricting myself to EU! To try that for a while. If that dont work either, i tell you i'll be travelling! The further the better.
Morgan - You can be a dreamer but a realist at the same time. Like you if the right lady comes along - the questions will become clear and after that I hope the answers will be found.

It was as cheap as usa, less then 800 dollars.
I guess one way tickets are slightly cheaper though.
Becca, if thay were all like you there woulden't be much lonely ppl at cs nomore. Cheers to you.
Distance relationship only works as long as we put our heart into it and we are ready to face whatever unknown there is in the future. I believe moving and finding a job in another country is fairly easy as long as we are qualified in whatever field we are in (marketable). Love knows no boundary so driving 200 miles will have no effect once one is truly in love from his/her heart, mind you! I was in a long distance relationship too, married my man, moved to his country, couldn't find the job that I am qualified in (if I had moved to the city, I would find the job fairly easily) but decided to stick it out with my hubby in a small town and it worked very well....
Did blogging help for it to happen do you think?

Got to sleep now guys. Thanks for your input
Goodnight
but I have to stay loyal to my furry critters here!
I would travel 3000 miles too
IF one can find a partner willing to work with you and understands that the both of you have to put much effort into your future then it will work.
Employment would not be a problem if you are willing to do what it takes to make a living. Especially here in America, but I'm sure its pretty much the same in other countries. There are exceptions so don't go to those countries.
But again: Work, work and more work!,
Language , Visa and employment is not big problem, see certain comment above .

@livin the dream (I have a friend who lived here in France,, met a girl from USA,, on a dating site and ,went over to meet her now they are happily married,living in the USA,, its all about the adventure of life”) and more comment…..,
Great read on the comments above. For me, relocating is possible for the right reason and right person. Of course, the two of us will see first if we really are that compatible and live together for a while, say for months or more. And the two of us will get a serious talk about that matter and decide if when and where that could possibly happen. There may be hindrances but I believe if we both want the relationship to work out, the two of us will be ready to face all the consequences. A team effort.
