Relocation is always an option, but, you have to move while retaining your financial independence. Moving in with someone is always difficult, and when you are financially dependent on this person and far away from all that is familiar the difficulties are doubled.

janie1305: Another question. Do you think that women are more willing to relocate than men? I'm referring to women who do not have dependant children of course.
Now I'm stumped. 
If I had to make a wild guess, it would be that men, assuming the same parameters of having no dependent children, are probably, now, I said, PROBABLY, more willing to move. It may be just about even, but if I had to say one or the other, I would guess it would be men being a little more willing.------ This thread is Archived ------
rohaan: I want to add this, too: I really think that if one is able to move, then the one who just can't (like myself, for instance) for whatever reason, should be respected. In other words, if a man really fell in love with a woman (or man, if that's the case) and it was not problematic financially, etc...to make that move, then he should, if he really loves the other person. Otherwise, then I guess it's best to seek someone who can make the move, or someone near. Love's pretty strong, though, and sometimes people don't think they could possibly make a move, and they go ahead, and say later it was the best thing they've ever done. For instance, if I moved to Hawaii, I KNOW I'd be happy I did it, even though it seems like I don't want to move anywhere now. You never know until you try.
I moved to Ireland to be with a man and it was a failure on the love front. On the other hand, it mobilised me to do things I never did before - to go the college and then the university. However, my sisters were here in Ireland before me, otherwise I would have felt miserable alone in the foreign country. It is all good when it works out, but if not? I don't think I would be so brave again.

I agree, therefore the options are limited to the countries where I could earn a living, that is English speaking countries.

I agree,and no matter how much i would want to be with someone,i would have to be very,very convinced that if they re-located to where i was,they would settle,and not feel isolated from there family.I wouldnt want them to ruin there life by somewhere they didnt want to be.

Hi Ro
See I would say the opposite. Most of the single women I know who do not have dependant children or relatives would be much more willing to risk a move than the single men I know who have become quite set in their ways.Unfortunately, as women get older they often take on the carer role once again, after having seen their children flee the nest, for elderly parents for example, so there really is a small window of opportunity.

I agree with all of the above, so with regards to the second paragraph, if you're thinking about it, do it quick, while you have the chance
Oh, and yes, I would relocate (depending on where the relocating was to of course)

It's funny--making a move seems so daunting, so difficult, yet nearly everyone I know, (including myself) who ventured to do so has no regret. For instance, a little over six years ago I made what my friends and family thought to be a very rash decision to move about 300 miles away. Frail and recovering from several operations and whirling from the rapid onset of a life-threatening illness (sorry for the drama, but it's all true..) I had to get out of the situation I was in. Just had to, that's all. It was with such a cornucopia of emotions and fears, and unknown factors, I am telling you it was absolutely frighteningly unreal, but I did it. Within a few months things had settled in my favor, financially, too, and I can tell you without reservation that making that decision, as hard and scary as it was, has turned into THE BEST THING I EVER DID in my whole life. I am so much better now, so much more relaxed, so more willing to socialize, you can't imagine how improved my outlook on life and my love for people has become so, so good. You never know until you try, and my story had a very happily ever after ending. There's something about the beach that just makes it all better.Unfortunately, as women get older they often take on the carer role once again, after having seen their children flee the nest, for elderly parents for example, so there really is a small window of opportunity.

no, i believe, at this stage, both will do. no differences at all. there are other factors to be considered.

I have a feeling this place was claiming to be something Irish. Generally I avoid such places when I'm on holiday, but half way up those steps was the perfect place for a bar, regardless of the name
It is a beautiful island (if you stay away from the main tourist area of bars and restaurants) and maybe one day I will visit again.....not peak season though, I can't handle all those drunk teenagers anymore

......and I don't care......

Still enjoy watching them,when drunk, though misbehave badly when drunk,in the other hand who isn't, when in a drunken stupor.
