robsantiago15: Basically life has become a routine and we have become prisoners of our own routine.


I suppose that is at least partly true for me also. but I LIKE my routine. It will take something pretty special to get my out of my SHE-CAVE after a long day at work!!!!

I am planning to make a few small lifestyle changes. that might vicariously help me socially - possibly - but that is not the intention - the changes I am making I am doing so for fitness & wellness

rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing Thanks! That is "statement" bound to attract women from all over the planet! (But thanks! Appreciate the compliment! But hey, aren't all Canucks a special breed! Signed the guy two igloos down from the abandoned ice-fishing shack and laughing at the NHL strike! Finally, the Leafs have a real reason for not bringing home the Cup!)

LOL! I would LOVE to move to BC (or the Niagra Peninsula),...but hey,...Alberta has an energy play going on that generates $$$$,...and what can I say,....$$$$, although not what life is all about, do hold some sway. So,...for the time being I'll keep buying mink fur longjohns, held up by diamond-studded suspenders, and continue to try and stay warm!wink

Like I said, it's warmer in BC...we got frost here over a month ago. laugh A lot of Torontonians move to BC for nicer weather although it's going to be 17 C tomorrow and Monday. applause

If people are motivated enough, it can work out...especially if there's someone or something to work towards. Love can change attitudes very quickly. grin wave

LOL! If I truly had to choose,...love ALWAYS before money! However, being Albertan by birth, being able to wrap my oil-stained arms around the love of my life would be nice! However,...the joys of western Canada are such that within a few hours I can be looking quite silly wearing my mink cap with sapphire studded ear flaps while dipping my toe into the Pacific (despite popular rumours,....not all Albertans are millionaires! Several are billionaires!! I am in the other elite group - thousandaires!!!rolling on the floor laughing )

The distance, that's the main obstacle, my location also, then the feeling of anxiety on trying to start something that we are not sure if it will work or no.

Spot on about distance,and your "if it's meant to be".thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up
2intrigued: On this site, distance is a huge obstacle. On local sites, finding someone genuine is a challenge...more of a challenge than I'm willing to put up with. I look at it this way...if it's meant to be, it will be and if not, oh well.

I didn't experience this but I would have to say with most people it's distance and not having the means to spend as much time with that person( as in traveling to see them).

Lack of chemistry, commitment and distance. In that order.
