So far Away (20)
QuietStormF: I don't know about you.. but in my experience it is always the ones so far away who always pique my interst.. I would like to hear from some who have actually gone through the motions..
If you fall for someone in another country.be it just Canada, and the United States, or Sweden, Austrailia and the US or Canada...
What did you actually have to go through to be together? And please be honest, and do not leave anything out..... There are alot of us who would love to know what is going to be expected of us, should this happen to us..
Well yeah this being a international forum and we don't have but a couple from each state or country here, they are always too far away on this place. But that hasn't stopped many that found love here. We never know who we might find that one of us is willing to move to the other. If you fall for someone in another country.be it just Canada, and the United States, or Sweden, Austrailia and the US or Canada...

I think I would shy away from an international relationship. I had one with someone on the other side of my country & that was next to impossible. I can't say I wasn't interested in people from overseas, but I never got very serious with any of them because of the distance. But that's just my opinion....

I've tried the long distance thing twice, both times they were from different states....i have often been attracted to women
who live a large distance from myself....i ended up spending hours on the phone, months texting, emailing and such.....when we finally did meet for one reason or another it didn't work out.....usually the woman really wasn't ready to change locations & i definitely don't plan on moving anytime soon....it is difficult to do a LDR and if you can't meet within a few weeks chance are its not going to work out...

Excuse me for saying this, but that should've been one of the first things discussed at the "beginning" instead of waiting til you met. IMO, it saves heartache "and" time. But that's just my two cents.

it was discussed and in both instances i indicated in the beginning that I was grounded to where i was located....both women said they were willing to relocate.....but when push came to shove they really were too tied to where they were living....
not everyone really knows what they want

Either that or they were just scammers. This very thing has happened to some others here in the forums. It's just completely uncalled for to string someone along as if it COULD work out while all along knowing otherwise.
Sorry that happened to you.

Hi Quiet Storm, I see many of them doing it and I do see alot that seem to work out,Many are married and doing whatever it takes, tho I do see distance as a major factor, I think it has alot to do with the willing group, Example: one Group Lives to Ride Motorcycles, Others wont get close to one.... Some will find that Love and go to any length to get it, even tho it, even another Contry..... Another wont move off of their city block..... It is all individulized, meaning we are all unique , and have our own thoughts. What makes one person Happy and content, Wont work for the next Individual as we are all Unique and different... So In My Opinion it boils down to the TWO INVOLVED.... and Their Mindset..... But I feel Maturity and compatability. Play Major Roles.....Ask 5 people, get 5 answers.... This is how I feel, as looking at the big picture..... It boils down to only those two involved and if thet are doing it for the Right reasons....I also look for these answers, and I think it can only be determined by the two involved, But by all means , seek for answers...... In the end the decision is still up to you..... That calls for wisdom
Hope this helps, but this is how I see it from the outside looking in....

Hi Larry, and thanks to everyone who posted.. I got some interesting mails on this.. but I guess I wasn't clear enough in my question.. I was interested to know more about the legal stuff, the red tape and the hoops you have to jump through, should you decide the relationship works and you want to be with this person always..
I have a friend of my niece in Florida, who is going through this now.. she can't go back to Canada for two years.. and there is just so many forms to be filled out etc etc.. Just wondered if the people going through it. could offer any insight .. ie.. did you get an immigration lawyer? Do you feel that he helped, or could you have done it on your own.. etc etc..
I have already been through it on a personal level, just never actually taken the steps to be legal.
Best wishes to everyone going through this.. I know it is not easy

It varies. For me, my small company is mobile, and thus so I am. I have traveled extensively and am a professional writer, so life experience is not new to me. In other words, I am in a position to relocate without too much difficulty, whereas others might not be.

Been there, done that, burned the t-shirt.
I was in a relationship for nearly 3 years with a gal from Ontario, I live in New Hampshire, the usa. It was difficult, we spent a lot of time together, but it was a long haul and we also had the who-moves where issue.Eventualy it ended and I lost a person in my life who I genuinely considered a soul mate.
Take some advice friend, keep it somewhat local.
