Corinnabloom: I question long distance relationship.. Sure you can do the internet thing and phone but until you meet each other and that would have to be a lot... you would think... I don't know if I would be able to relocate to another country...I just imagine that you get way over in another country not knowing anyone but the one...and then they change... And we all know that this does happen.. you think you know someone until you actually move in with them or marry them.. I would not want to be so far away from my homeland. And with this traveling to see one another... if it is the woman making the trip to see the man.. Is it up to the woman to pay her own exspense to get there.. Or should they help one another.. Has there been anyone on here that traveled to another country and found theirselves in a pickle or did it go well..? What if the guy or lady are real jerks or live in really nasty environment that you were not aware of before you made the trip.. ! year or 3 years it would not matter how long you had been talking you actually don't know till your there...So I would say No for long distance
Well said!
Yes, it could be a real jerk you get to know or when it's too late. It has happened to so many women from Asia, when they've moved together with a man from Western Europe. Is isn't so easy for the other one to get a job in the new country? I wish all people good luck in trying to get a long-distance relationship to work.
It's a lot easier to get someone if thee distance is reasonable, you'll get to know each other more often.

Sorry for my poor English. It should be read:

There are always exceptions to the rule, yes long distance relationships can work, but it takes a relocation of one or the other to really get to know each other. I've been a musician since I was 16 and of course had several regular jobs. I'm from Maryland and was on the road playing in Tenn. and met my late wife that was from Mich. and she relocated to Maryland and after a short period of time got married, and where happily married for 33 years until she passed away almost 6 years ago. As far as online relationships, they are just words, you have to spend time with a person.

yes they are just words and often 'sweet' words which may not be true or realistic. it can start as a long distance relationship but does not have to remain long distance

Starrod: Personally, I don’t think that long distance relationship could work! Off course, there are the exceptions, but don’t even think to date anyone from Latin-American countries, except on your own risk.. I don’t want to offend anyone, but its standard practice in some countries like Colombia and Venezuela, from where most of the women who are on this site are married or in relationship and living in economic poverty! For them, the only reason being here is to get in contact with someone and to get extra income! Once again..there is exceptions! Good luck and be careful!
I agree with you Starrod. I "met" a man who lives in Leeds in 2011 on another online dating site. We never physically met due to a variety of circumstances which were beyond our control. If he had been local or I had lived up in West Yorkshire, we would have undoubtedly met.
Now, he is terminally ill with lung cancer, and when I, as the publisher I am, tried to help him, he couldn´t handle it. He even wrote that he wouldn´t undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy, but at the end of the day he has started on chemotherapy, to my utter horror because I know what it really is and the fact that it actually can kill the patient, so became very emotional about it when he told me that his surgeon had suggested it before he actually had the follow-up check up 4 weeks after the surgery which took place in mid April 2014.
I have done extensive research on top of what I have published on cures for cancer of which there are numerous. In an attempt to get him to see the light, I wrote to his son who is in Leeds Prison. That led to this man telling me by text that I could expect a visit by the police if I contacted either him or his son again.
Leaving my mouth hanging open, I sent him a text back to write "OMG, I´m trying to save your life. I love you.X" who claimed that he loved me deeply in so many words.
I also wrote another text, "The chemo will kill you & I can prove that surgery causes metastasis, but the MDs knew it 30 years ago, but don´t tell their patients.X"
If we had been closer together, I have a feeling that it would have worked out, but not at the distance there is between us.

Thank you for reading my heartfelt story.

hi leanybean and hugs for you
i'm sorry to hear your story...
i think that while in every relationship, in real or virtual life, the comunication is what makes it work over time, the long distance one is more subjected to the misunderstandings and it is harder to avoid them and to work them out when all you have are (written) words without the support of other, collateral ways of expressing yourself....
LDR is a confusing term. Can two people from the same planet (cuz Martian babes are ever so fickle) INITIALLY meet, go LDR, and then get together? OF COURSE THEY CAN! Can two people spend a lifetime many miles apart, and maintain a TRUE LDR? Beyond my comprehension and pocket book,....I ain't Bill Gates,...and,...oh yeah,...Melinda lives with him somewhere in that mansion,....
