yes,you just have to work harder at it, misunderstandings when things are not understood when said is a big problem, cultures see things differently and one saying in one country may be an insult in another... barring that it is worth it
Charli15695: international relationship (would you have a realationship with someone from another country ?)
Nooooooo...uh-uh...no way...nope...nah...noooooo, hell no....in a word...NO....
Nothing against anyone in another country...I need presence and proximity .... I don't do pretend/cyber relationships .... I'm not rich and can't afford international travel on a much needed, regular basis that is required to build a relationship.
Big_John: I don't think I would try to make an international relationship work. It seems too hard to me!
Hi Big John, it wouldnt be hard work if it was the 'right one' it would be fun and exciting and you would want to deal with it .......I hope it does work for you near or far
In response to: Is there anyone up for that ? as far as I see all seem to prefer ppl from their own region.
I always dreamed of meeting someone from another culture rather than my own ppl, so that would make the relationship a lot more fun. (sharing culture and experience, learning each other's language etc) let aside the inconvenience of long-distance.
I just wonder if there is anyone who thinks like me ?

I travel around the World a lot and I measure everything by time not distance.. I can be in NYC in 6hrs or LA in 11hrs. Rio is only 12hrs away.
In Europe, Spain and Italy is just 2 1/2 hrs from me
My ex came from Brazil, but at the time I was also seeing girls in South Africa, Romania, Italy and Greece. (not at the same time but over a 2 year period)
Airfares are so low now.. and travel so much fun
Don't turn your nose up at other cultures. I'm more attracted to women from overseas than here, and there's nothing better if you're going on holiday to have someone to meet and show you the culture and lifestyle of the country.
If someone is interesting and exciting, I don't mind spending a few hours on a plane to meet them.
And if we hit it off we can spend time in each country

I've tried it twice now, never got further than talking on the phone. One of the main reasons that the ladies concerned were skeptical was that they had heard that people were doing the online dating thing just to get residence in the respective country, i.e. a guy from England chatting up a lady from US so he can become a US citizen by marrying them. Of course, I do realise that it's not as nearly easy as that but the perception is always there and as such I think a lot of women especially are hesitant to trust a foreigner just in case it's not all above board. Just my own experience and opinion on the matter.

I'm just in love with the United Kingdom so it would just be awesome for me to find "the girl" there....
But I still have to do some progress with my English......
