I miss Alec :sigh:

Strictly speaking, I miss being in a LDR. All those texts and messages and chatting on skype and cramming an entire relationship into an hour or two a day: planning the next holiday together, sharing virtual lives, it’s a rush. Anyone who’s been in a fun LDR knows exactly what I mean. It seems so intense, but really it isn’t too time-consuming at all. A blast of heat to warm the rest of the day, a week together here and there to feel thoroughly decadent, nice. heart wings

When you’re seeing someone (relatively) local and he wants to be together every weekend, what's that all about? rolling on the floor laughing Back off, mate, I need space.

Can't believe I'm saying this (I HATE flying) but I think I’m back in the market for an LDR. I really must look to see if there’s a website that specializes in those, offering fellas who are fun, interesting, able to write lucidly, sound and look good on skype, and want to be in touch every day, no matter how briefly. Plus of course be good company during those times when LD becomes CU.

Now how do I word that in my profile without sounding decidedly dodgy and scammerish? roll eyes

I'm going to add comments as I think of things, but feel free to squeeze a word in edgeways, especially if you have good suggestions for the perfect LDR. yay

Ooh, ooh, important location details. Not TOO long-distant, a couple of hours away, unless and until the teleporter is invented.

Sunny would be nice, scenic or interesting is more important.

Same time-zone, by preference, for convenience (I enjoys my Skype, I does).
"Adventures are great especially when the man I'm LDR'ing with is the destination."
Ideal fella should also be up for making his LDR GF the centre of his otherwise full and busy life.

That's important to me, anyway, that his life is full and busy, I’d far rather be visiting than being visited. laugh I love Scotland, but it's awfy mountainous, not to mention damp, when visitors want to be shown the sights. Edinburgh's built on seven hills. Scenic as hell, sure, but tiring.
Aw, Lucy, you're a romantic hug
Ummmm...sounds good to me. I don't know how to word it but when you do you tell me ok? wink
Or you could try "Distance gives us a reason to love harder". blushing that just might inspire some men!
The trouble is, of course, that most men who do LDRs are dodgy in the extreme, because if they were any good they'd be besieged by women!

On the other hand, if you don't have to see him too often, you can overlook his fatal flaws. rolling on the floor laughing
Min, you are the QUEEN of the LDR! Men fall in love with you all round the world!
Lucy, what distance does do is condense the whole experience. One intense phone call is worth two days of some guy lolling in front of the TV and looking up to ask you to get him a beer ... applause
For me I would rather be the visited as I'm too tired of travelling and besides there are many beautiful places here with nice weather.

Apart from that it's nice to see someone making the effort to come and see me. head banger
And I would rather do the travelling...that way I can leave when I want to! wave
Moi? The QUEEN of LDR? hmmm hmmm

The problem is they live so far away that they can't afford to come and see me and the time zone ..ummm..They tend to forget it and call me on skype in the middle of the night.frustrated
Hi guys. As long as the relationship doesn't get needy on either side, it could be a case of, having your cake and eating it too. Might be a breath of fresh air!grin
I like being on holiday, really. There's a buzz to that in itself. Add to it the buzz of being with a man you are happily potty about and heart wings
what's SDR? confused
Short distance? Anything too accessible. Less than 2 hours, and he's either here too often or you're wondering why he isn't ... flex
Cake, it is absolutely that. Having your, well, cake grin and eating it too.

Needy is a problem. Takes a certain type of person. Hmm. More flaws in this than I had realized.
Min, the time thing is important. Apart from the midnight calls, yikes!
Lucy, the joys of living in a big country. 4 or 5 hours in Scotland and I would have crossed the country and be falling in the sea. I suppose there's always England.

Or those lovely accents across the Irish sea ...
My last one was several hours flight and we met up about every other month, eventually, it was getting bloody expensive. Still, the wheels only fell off when the holidays started getting longer, too. Way too domestic.

He did become a friend – all that chatting we did, it was almost inevitable – and even still occasionally pokes his nose into CS every now and then, although he gave me custody of the site when we parted. I usually get a message disapproving of the men I flirt with. snooty he thinks my taste is abysmal. Well, er, yes. Pots and kettles and all that.
sounds as though he still 'likes' you. love
Lucy, we still like each other. You don't spend that intense a year together without getting to know each other very well, we still text or send messages most days. But we now know each other too well! rolling on the floor laughing
This is a girls only blog so far, any guys out there with ideas for ideal LDRs?

Sadly - and all ladies take heed - some guys specialize in them because that way they can run several relationships at once. Cyber-bigamists. Still, they tend to be the most charming ones, hehe, and charming is SUCH fun batting

Ooh. Maybe I could become a cyber bigamist!
Ok so, that does happen. laugh
You mean POLYGAMIST! !
Charming wink IS fun, but I don't like being with a man who has a 'hareem' of women on the side. ewwwwww!
Was in an LDR for about 8 months and although I have no real proof, I started to get suspicious when he was loathe to have me visit his neck of the woods. He said, that he lived in a small community and his ex lived nearby. He didn't want the hassle of having to explain himself to his neighbours. It was fine, until we decided to have a holiday together. I booked it with my credit card and we had a great time. All was well, until it came time for him to pay his share. Suddenly, he was short of cash and promised he would pay me the next time we met. Somehow, he became very busy with work after that and I got fed up and told him where to go. I never got my money. I could have made life awkward for him but just couldn't be bothered. You live and learn.
Lucy - oh yes. rolling on the floor laughing And he did dump me. I was being utterly poisonous at the time (all that unnerving togetherness) (I would have dumped me) but huh.
That's why you're better off having the guy visiting you and let him pay for his own expenses
Min, I stand corrected. Polygamist!

Old joke about the guy who said 'If I marry 2 women, that's bigamy?' He thought about it, then asked brightly 'if I marry more than 2, that's VERY big a me?'

Doesn't really work written down. sigh
Min, I really don't like having people in my space for more than a few days.

He reimbursed my flights and of course put me up, but there was the kennels and cattery and long-stay airport parking ... not free holidays, but affordable, and fun. I just like being on holiday. I'm much more relaxed!

Gonna get me a spaceship. That's the answer. Take the animals with me, no need for a car ... transport

Well, it's as likely to happen as meeting a nice non-dodgy fun man who is happy in an LDR!
It was great up to that point Elegs. We saw each other almost every weekend and went for long drives and ate out. It was a very physical relationship but thinking back, there probably wasn't an awful lot more to it. We really didn't have a lot in common. I would have got fed up with him very quickly if he was living close by.
Cake, that's almost the definition of an LDR bloke, sometimes. Nice from far but far from nice. Or at least far from suitable!

Fun, though, and enjoying yourself, that can be rare. Being sensible can be dull. I'm glad you - and I - had the day yay and nothing worse than a slightly dented ego at the end of it.
Minerva, no soggy seconds. scold

Okay, okay, after 50 every guy is a soggy second (at BEST) but not when I know his ex!!
Haha Min, NO. Until they move America up to within 2 hours distance of Scotland.

But I do appreciate the offer. No, really.
Hmm, the exclusivity thing didn't really bug me. I wanted all my free time for writing so it suited me to feel I had a link back to the real world rather than spending ALL my time with my imaginary friends rolling on the floor laughing

I did know he had a pretty shady past and didn't care what he got up to as long as they weren't important. dunno

Talk about writing, that's the whole evening spent on this blog instead! But it's been fun. Thanks ladies hug just sorry not a single man appeared.

Not even one an hour or two away, with a promising line in chat laugh
Just say that you are interested in a 'no strings attached ' relationship, and they'll come a-calling laugh
Blimey, no, I demand adoration. DEMAND it. devil
Just got a friendly message from Texas. If that was a result of this blog, sorry dude, I'm in the other Scotland. The one hours and hours and hours away.

Night all. hug
They'll invent another plane faster than Concorde soon, and you'll be sorted. laugh
