Is it realistic for an average guy to hope to find that someone special in a dating site. Truth is, you find someone and you would really like to meet them, but unless you are independently wealthy....you will never meet! Flirting is fun...but can a person of meager means actually meet! Or are these actually designed for people in a higher income bracket??

Serious answers, please. Beginning to lose my sense of humor, heresigh

In all honesty and seriousness, distance is a killer!! It takes alot of time, planning and YES money. LD relationships are not cheap. IF the relationship is to continue to grow into something, one of the people will have to be agreeable to relocate. Then with relocation, comes a whole new set of problems...uh oh comfort

Trust me when I say, it is possible. I don't have to tell the whole story again, but neither of us come from a higher income bracket and we made it work. You just can't give up....I almost did...actually did, and then reactivated my account after about three months. The day I reactivated it, I met him.......

You're a good looking guy, funny, intellegent.....just keep being yourself....always be true to yourself....and hang in there....

It's when you least expect it, is when it happens. At least, that's how it happend to me.

I think its possible, I dont think its guaranteed.

I also think that some people have in their mind what their significant other should be....and to me that blinds you of the rest of the people out there!

Take some time.....dont give up!hug

I don't know Ship, but have to ask what area have you set up your search parameters? I don't have a preference but if you are serious about meeting someone have you tried the search options on here? I'm sure you have but had to ask.

Maybe if you and this ladyfriend could meet somewhere in the middle for both of you if the expense is what you are concerned with.

Wish you luck out there, it can be a real jungle.hug

If there's the possibility of love, then there is always a way.

I understand where you are coming from. I often feel the same way.

You seem like a more-than-decent sort, and the best thing I can say is that you just never know what is around the corner. Those not looking too hard are sometimes found.

I'm not independently wealthy, but if the right person comes along, at this juncture in my life, I suspect no distance is great enough. It may happen, it may not. I am neither hopeful nor hopeless - just the gray area in between (that is, of course, unless someone comes along).

I've made some friends here and there's solace in that perhaps my world is not so small. That, and it's hard to argue with the cost.

Best of luck to you sir. tip hat

If you are both of the same mind and heart there are ways to overcome all problems that may arise... distance included.

Find your woman and work out the rest between the two should you live far away from each other. Where there's a will there's a way.

Ship, good question and I pose a similar one that is in line with your question. Is this the only dating site you are on or are you on several or have you tried others?

I have met people in various ways, internet, paper, singles clubs, but I was always pre-occupied with life, so I never gave it 100 %, I take that back, one I did, and that sort of fizzled due to distance. I met a lot of nice ladies. I let a few good ones slip through my fingers. NOW, I am not pre-occupied and I am not really finding my type of lady (locally), so I hope maybe I can meet some nice ladies state side or abroad...Never give up! Never Surrender!...head banger
