I know there are some of us who aren't interested in pursuing relationships that would be considered long distance, but many of us are. Maybe it's been discussed to death on these forums, but since I'm a new kid, I'd love to hear others' opinions on this issue.
If you are open to long distance relationships, are you willing to move to be with the right person?
Do you think it's fair to be open to LDRs but NOT be willing to move for whatever reason?

I hope to find someone anywhere; however, I am not willing to move. In my profile I state that I am looking for someone who is willing to move to the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

What are your thoughts?
Hi, NeWildflower!
Yes, Im open to them..
I didnt used to be, before I joined this site, but I am now changing my mind..
Its a cliche, yes, but life is short and you have to take your chances for happiness and love when you can.
It depends on the committments one has, I guess..
I personally dont have anything tying me down, so yes, definately I would move for the right person..
I would be open to it..Provided I was sure of our love for one another...we had spent a lot of time together...and that I could secure a decent job....It's not something I would do on the spur of the moment that's for sure...It would take an awful lot of getting to know each other first in RL that is....
I have done it and i'm really happy BUT do think it takes alot of thought, hardest thing is leaving the children although they are growen up, still hard
I think one would have to be open to move at some point.A long time in e-mails IMO is not really good, as if you meet in RL and you just don't click then there ya go. So it is fun to flirt and get to know each other but you must meet in a reasonable amount of time or what is the sense. You could be wasting each others valuable time, we are not getting any younger. Also the closer one is to the other I would think is better. So for me ,I am someone of limited funds ,outside of the states would be out of the running, some in the states may even be out of the running. Of course I live very close to Canada so that is of course doable.JMHO
"I met someone who lives 600 miles away from me. To me,it's not considered a LDR.However,let me say that it has indeed been very hard not to be able to be together on a more full time basis.We're now in the plans of moving me and my family to where he lives."

1) Without a doubt I am willing to move to almost anywhere on the planet if I find someone special there. Currently war torn countries I would still consider but would be more likely to hope the other person would be willing to move somewhere else, perhaps meet in the middle somewhere.
2) I think it is very fair as long as it is not kept secret until the last minute or is something that has been misled or lied about. Meaning someone says they would but then when the time comes says they can't for whatever reason etc... That is not fair, but hoping love will move to a place your very happy in is perfectly fine in my opinion.

Im so pleased for you, Polar..
Yes, I think it can be hard not being close to each other, but when you meet up and are together, well,
Polarbutterfly: "Thank you.Life is just too short not to live it. Furthermore,finding love with someone who lives close to you is the icing on the cake!!!
Soooooooo true doll....Finding love period these days is hard enough.....
