We all have probably seen or maybe even been in a long distance relationship. They can be brutal, and can also be the answer to ones prayers. I have searched the women somewhat close to me and there were some very intresting profiles. I have also previewed profiles from all over the world. I thought WOW! she's fantastic! Now down to reality, I know if you love someone you will go to the edge of the earth (if there was one) to be with them. But, in today's world are we just fantasizing about someday being together? Are we just devoting our attention and feelings to someone we may never see? Should we just avoid looking in a store we may never be able to afford? I love friends! I think that even those, thousands of miles away are important to me. If you were looking for a long term relationship, would you avoid looking at what may be out of reach?

It depends on both parties whether they are willing to take the challenge of those thousand miles apart and to see each other. With my job, I could be as close as few kilometers away and as far as five thousand miles away, however we agree on make a hard work to meet as frequent as we can and we made more than 10 times.
You must know what it takes for you to be in a long distance relationship I for one will not even consider it I dont do long distance well I avoid it ,do i worry about missing a love of my life ,,,nope
It depends how badly you want your relationship to work,i have a few friends who have married women from other countrys.Both have been married over 10 years
I am glad I am getting so many different views. Carl, sounds like the same girl I met in U.P. Michigan,LOL just a heads up to not get too mush headed too quick for me. ChocolateFlavour, I wish the two of you my best, congrats. Lovely4U7da, I am almost in total agreement, but I think as TerBear57 said its how bad you want it and who you are as a person. Overseas that could be a tough call, but the next state over, or maybe even Canada or possibly Mexico is not out of bounds as of yet for me. I also have the luxury of picking up and going if I choose to. I of course would have to start a new career, but its not out of the question yet. TY all, this is a very nice welcoming. Kevin

Distance....for me, it's distance, no way around it. This is why I am here strictly for the forums. I have made some fantastic friends here. I have traveled to meet two. The two I went to see are still very close to me and we web cam regularly. For me, it's friends only....but what good friends they are. You are all my friend !!

I have to agree. You just cannot get to know someone far away. Too much pressure to make those infrequent meetings count for something.

No,..there really is no distance that can divide real genuine love, but the feelings have to be mutual between a couple and there has to be a great deal of faith, if thats not there then forget it one is wasting valuable time and effort. Life is short and no one should play games with another, if its real for both parties then go for it, if not then let it go. JMO

I don't believe it would work, especially another country.

i wouldn't bother looking at anything out of reach as a possibility. too much effort. stick to what you know is always easier IMO
Lol I forgot what the question was since there were several in this. I will say this, u can find love most everywhere and yes it is a matter of how bad u want it. I am not gonna travel 1000's of miles just to see what if, but of course if he wants to, then I say swipe that credit card buddy. I have done the long distance relationship and it is brutal, but it can be done. It however takes more trust and more patience then someone near you. It seriously takes alot of therapy hahaha to trust that each one is not trolling the sites to find interest and stringing the other along, especially if you met on a dating site. Come on we know the eye candy out here. There is always a damsel in distress waiting to be saved or a some guy who has lost his grip and for some reason they all seem to want to be saved and come to dating sites. I need to be saved from writing a book here however. I so could go on and on with this..

You either need unlimited time and means or nothing at all to lose. Otherwise you don't take the risk or just can't afford it for long time.
I think for the most part everyone is in agreement. Make a trip or two (or more) see how things go then dwell deeper into the thought. Some are dead against it and I'm sure with just cause. I do agree if I was to travel abroad or even to lets say Alaska, I would take the time to get to know that person. I luckily have a good sense of character, providing the whole ordeal isn't a charade (been there too). I think after a short time together along with the long letters, I would feel pretty comfortable being able to decide whether or not I should invest my time and money into the situation. Agreed?
