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.When you’re seeing someone (relatively) local and he wants to be together every weekend, what's that all about? 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?
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.

Sunny would be nice, scenic or interesting is more important.
Same time-zone, by preference, for convenience (I enjoys my Skype, I does).
That's important to me, anyway, that his life is full and busy, I’d far rather be visiting than being visited. 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.
On the other hand, if you don't have to see him too often, you can overlook his fatal flaws.
Apart from that it's nice to see someone making the effort to come and see me.
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.
Needy is a problem. Takes a certain type of person. Hmm. More flaws in this than I had realized.
Or those lovely accents across the Irish sea ...
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. he thinks my taste is abysmal. Well, er, yes. Pots and kettles and all that.
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
Ooh. Maybe I could become a cyber bigamist!
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.
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 ...
Well, it's as likely to happen as meeting a nice non-dodgy fun man who is happy in an LDR!
Fun, though, and enjoying yourself, that can be rare. Being sensible can be dull. I'm glad you - and I - had the day and nothing worse than a slightly dented ego at the end of it.
Okay, okay, after 50 every guy is a soggy second (at BEST) but not when I know his ex!!
But I do appreciate the offer. No, really.
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.
Talk about writing, that's the whole evening spent on this blog instead! But it's been fun. Thanks ladies just sorry not a single man appeared.
Not even one an hour or two away, with a promising line in chat
Night all.
