avecaim: Yeah me too anywhere really, just being stubborn.
Stubborn is good. Prevents from changing yourself to much. Me. I not only stubborn, I'm also arrogant, proud, smart, funny, friendly. You get the idea.
rizlared: What problems? what Issues? If you meet and like someone the only issue to my mind is when and how you meet to see if they can be a relationship, where they are located is secondary.
Well ask all the Canadian men that got mail order brides. Big scam and by Law they have to pay completely for them for 5yrs! They stay married for 1 or 2 years then ask for divorce.
Plus the 10,000ends of other cases of men getting the short end of the stick.
So if you have no clue about long distance dating or relationships then I suggest you hold on to the Tower of Pisa it looks like It`s leaning to much!
What about international? Say US to Canada, or US to Mexico? Now we have all these passport issues and such? Just wondering, and this looked like the right thread to ask.

If I loved someone I would definitely go the distance...no matter how far!
Depends on whether or not it is a distance I REALLY NEED to go or not. The other person might think they know what is best but they could have misread my not so clever statements about who I am.

Right ave, thats what I am wondering, You know you like someone from what you read, and through chat or on the phone. But when I comes down to meeting time, it could all change. It has happened to me in the past, but luckily it was a local (within 100 miles) relationship. Just knowing what the right thing to do is hard. How deep/involved do you get with a LDR before you can meet. And keeping it to a level where no one gets hurt if it don't work out. Who would have ever thought finding the right person for you could be so hard!

Thanks for the feed back!

That part I highlighted hit the nail on the head, Grizz. I had an online romance on here once, a LDR, and I fell hard before we got to meet. He canceled the meeting and the relationship due to things going on in his life, but took me for quite a ride first. I've learned some things since then about him, and don't know if I knew him or not...and that's a danger with LDRs. Even when you do meet...do you really get to know them before one of you has to make a decision about relocating?
It works out well for some, though, and I'm always happy when I see the happy endings here. But it's not easy, and it's not for the faint-at-heart. And it would take quite a special man to make me consider it again...but this time I'll keep my heart grounded until we actually meet, should I risk it again.

I agree with that. Once you have crossed over its a done deal not the only question may be how not if...

Same as that Dru,and it hurts even though I never met him. I allowed myself to get "involved" mostly off C.S. after the initial contact but after 5 months of dancing around ,took the step of contacting his daughter,only to discover I had been told a pack of lies! Is it the thrill of the chase? I was ready to travel half way across Europe,so glad that I found out in time.Now I just "play" in the Forums , where I think most people are more genuine as they have no hidden agenda.
Good4U2: Hey how much can it cost anyway cant always look at the $... Plus you get frequent flier miles ...
I am not looking at the $$$. I am wondering about international. Passports for just meeting, moving to a new country if it all goes well. Denouncing your citizenship! This is some scarey stuff to this old mountain man!
