One2note: And restrict you distance.
The last post I read said "within 100miles of her location!

All humans & Americans, feel free to voice your views.


When I joined, this was advertised as an Irish site, I didn't know about the international aspect (and never cared much about it for dating purposes). There are lots of people living in Ireland using CS and people have the possibility to restrict who contacts them (distance, age etc.).

I wouldn't be interested in meeting someone living more than one hours drive away from me. To get to know someone, I would like to spend time with each other.

I like where I live, I have a limited amount of time and wouldn't be interested in wasting it emailing someone and seeing him every couple of month. I met himself locally (in RL) and we had the opportunity to spend time with each and become a couple. wave

I have found my prince charming about 50 minutes drive away (and he was happy to relocate to my place as well). wink wave

People want different things. If some people are happy to give a LDR a go, best of luck to each and everyone of them. Others simply aren't interested in trying to start a relationship off that way. conversing

You've been fortunate, but others with filter, may not be as lucky finding someone as local.
My point being, you can't rule anything out, where finding a potential partner is concerneddunno

That's for each individual to decide. I would rule out someone living far away as I want to get to know someone in person, spending time in real life on a regular basis.

As for lucky - to meet someone you have things in common with, go someplace where you meet someone like that. I think joining a group with people having similar interests, hobbies etc. gives you much more of a chance than an international dating website with thousands of people on it.

Some people are better kept at a distance while you get to know them. I've saved several women no end of wasted time by not meeting them in person.

Still, a lot of people around there. dunno

Different things work for different people, if you think that CS and meeting someone from far away would work for you, best of luck with it. I have figured out what works best for me (through trial and error).

Wherever - hope you'll find what you are looking for. wine

I guess it took more time in emailing/phoning etc. with you before they made that discovery compared to have met you in your local walking club/on a night out. conversing

Look, these things happens - maybe you were lucky in these cases as well. laugh wave
