Do you care about distance (134)
I would not have started a relationship long distance but ended up in one when I started dating someone while on vacation. When I went to college in Colorado we were further apart than before.
The fix was for both of us to attend the same college.
It is hard to keep a relationship going when phone and email are the only contact you have.

Nope. I'm just as good at not having relationships with women thousands of miles away, as I am with women around the corner.

ghost007: Yeah distance for me is an issue ...i am not looking to relocate ..so unless someone is interested in coming to live in a small island in the mediterranean there is no point...and to be honest i not interested in building up a relationship with someone for months and months before meeting...except of course as just friends thats ok .....but to chat and chat for months on end with someone across the world building up expectations is not for me..but hey others have done it and its worked for them.....
Who wouldn't want that?------ This thread is Archived ------
707ryan: I got on here because i live in a small town there isnt much selection but when i got on the internet i thought the greatest thing about it is there might be a girl some where out there stuck in her small town or city looking for a guy like me its kind of exciting to think about because you would never have known that they ever existed who is to say your match lives in your home town obviously money can make it a problem or time but isnt it worth the adventure of what IF........
lt rarely works out...because youre missing the real day to day stuff with someone.There's so much missing that when you live together quite often its a disaster.
l spent 5 month wasting my time with a man from Alaska called Dave...he eventually told me he had gotten me a plane ticket to fly there for a month.So l organised my life,purchased things to take..got a passport "that HE paid for"...he phoned me daily,and even spoke to me as l left my house with my bags in tow.His father spoke to me,and his sister whilst she visited there.Stangely l thought at the time, he took until the last minute to email me my confirmation number and flight itinerary?? ......and after a 2 hour journey to the airport by train (as he wished me a great flight as l locked my door to get a taxi)l find out theres NO ticket at the airport! and he nor his family phone was being answered.
He had written onto the email flight plans etc but they were bogus!
A good example of how important it IS to be in the same room getting to know a person on a "smelly socks,messy hair,personal level".Not in dribs and drabs as though they can hide who they are in reality.lts the bits people DONT tell you about you must find out for yourself.
The more time you spend with them personally,the better!
As for the Alaskan DAVE..l hope he gets his worst nightmare come true....he was for me!:)

biffyclyro: That is so true man,the internet has certainly broadend the horizon so to speak.I also live in a small town and know exactly what you mean.Distance isn't an issue if she's worth it.I always find the best ones are always far away.
I see this said all the time; from people all around the world..
So, if all of the best ones are far away from all of us, where are we supposed to be??
In answer to the question, it would be nice if they were close ish, but for me, distance is not a barrier to being with the one I love. I would find a way..

I tried a LDR. The distance really hindered us getting to really know each other.
I'm now in one with someone I can see, touch, kiss, hold, etc. I prefer this much more.

It is unthinkable that one "not care" about distance, with all the constraints and expenses it causes. The real question is: "Do you care enough about distance to allow it to preclude a romantic relationship?"

I think some may use the distance as an excuse, Ambrose. While they claim to really like the person & want to meet them, they use the distance as a stumbling block, when they have the means to overcome it.

distance sorry ppl is an issue!i have done the long distant thing and it does not work out ,its very hard and a lil tiring , but i tried my damdest at it ,
that kiss at the end of a hard day, that hug of encouragement, waking up in the morning next to that person, the smell of their perfume on your shirt, that quickie in the kitchen just before you go out the door, or even just cuddling on the couch CAN,T HAPPEN ON LONG DISTANT RELATIONSHIPS (or not often enough lol)
like for me , it might sound silly but the kiss is the maker breaker for me , after all that flirting,chatting,talking, sharing thoughts, investing time to get to know this person,its down to the kiss (a phyical act)
yes i agree you can make contact and connect with ppl on here (in a deep and meaningful way)and for ppl in 1 at the moment i hope it works for you (and i mean that)
don,t mean to sound a lil OTT here lol i speak from experience lol and getting my lil fingers burnt!
some ppl are not who they are its smoke and mirrors just be careful is my advice
and if you do fall in love , i hope its a long long long fall!

True, Sweet. I'm sure there are people who are more comfortable with a "distant" relationship, for a variety of reasons (fear of commitment, deceptiveness, etc.).
I think the only way a LDR can ultimately work is if both parties are open to the idea of relocation.

It was said earlier on on this thread by someone that "all the best people are so far away..sigh
", and I replied that that is said alot on here from people all around the world..in which case, Where IS the place to be?? I am absolutely certain, in my own mind, that distance CAN be used as an excuse to make it real..no doubt at all..

Oh, ok, yes. A very good point, D. -
dealing with some one near to us can get too bloody real and impossible to cope. Gotcha...
You are right by the way, it's[self preservation] very common in here from my observation.
With a few exceptions of course, like OP, for instance,... \/\/\/
The best of luck to find 'her' and make it work, Ryan.
