LDR's (56)
Dan0340: I'm talking about relocations
that's not what your thread says it says LDR------ This thread is Archived ------
I do have respect for Mindfful for leaving her friends and family behind and moving her child and herself to England, marrying, and starting a new life all for the sake of love.
Proves love has no boundaries, nor mileage restrictions when you go after what you want.

Dan0340: Ok if youre so amarrt why dont you tell me?
I wouldn't have thought it had anything to do with being smart. Your topic says it all, I would have thought.
But in answer to your question...
To find out about other people's experiences of LDR's, before you chance on one of your own? And from what you just said, any one you embark on, will be an LDR.

morgan5: Firstly what do you consider long distance? for some people thats 250 miles?
Some have met here, been able to meet and gone on to get married.
Then there is the question that one would have to relocate, which is another issue, work, family, financial considerations. Even arranging to met can be governed by financial restraints

aint that the truth
everything is relative
long distance for some is 2 hr drive
all i can share dan is that all relationships can be consuming
for me i think the distance was good because we had both been single a realllly long time and getting used to partnering is a new deal every day so best of all worlds it can be i say
laffs love and plenty of room
i think we have set a pattern of giving each other space that will be comfortable when we live together full time
we dont need to call all the time but sometimes we do
i dunno-there is a lot of talking when you are far away
i think that can be a huge plus for so many reasons

As my thread said, I find 1% discouraging. That was in a thread the first week I was here. No one refuted it so I assumed it to be true. It has bothered me ever since, because, as you pointed out, I live in Alaska and most likely any relationship I might have will involve relocation.
I asked for testimonials for the purposes of having more hope than a 1% chance of success. No ulterior motives..

This site has a "Success Story" forum, Dan. You may wish to read that particular thread since many are not regular posters but have had much success from this site.
Many also have success from other dating sites as I so did.

In the end, statistics only report on numbers, not the process.
It will always be up to the two people concerned to make it work.
If there is a good foundation, as in any relationship, then that HAS to increases the chance of that particular relationship working.
Irrespective of the stats. JMO(and a humble one at that).
I'm off to bed. 'Night folks

i have done long distance relationships before....they are extremely difficult....each time i spent about 3 months communicating with the other person before we finally me......what felt like a perfect match turned out not so perfect.....were our expectations too high? i don't think so.....
in both circumstances we did feel the chemistry.......
i just think that in both circumstances the woman i was courting wasn't truly ready to make a move....in both instances there was family, friends & a career that seemed to be keeping them
grounded....yet when we had talked prior to meeting these supposedly weren't an issue......
i think people say they are willing to relocate but few are really going to do it......and to those that are willing, there is still no guarantee things will work out & that is the scary part....

morgan5: Hi MF good to see ya think you can see where i'm coming from, not sure the Op did
I understand. If I lived in the lower 48 I probably would have the same perspective as you. But living in AK makes me see it differently. I'll try to be more specific in the future.

gozoman2: However nice it feels chatting, phoning, texting, or writing to somebody who is far away.....
...it is only when one meets face to face that you really know if the chemistry is right.....

So true, or some are satisfied with just an online relationship.

Your post said that you "Knew my real reason for posting". That sounds like you're implying ulterior motives to me.
