location between people we meet online whats the safty zone. case in point... a lady met a "man" that in words was all she could ever wanted. they met, they lived within 5 miles of each other, ( how often does this luck happen) Well the relationship went sour 6 months later... She now is scared. I was told he is the type not to approach the men but annoy her because she moved on. Hence she has decided that 50 to hundred miles away is her safty zone.
does anyone consider being too close is problematic?

Depends how you meet them really and if they know anyone that you know. Usually people meet through association. This is where internet dating has its dangers because nobody knows anyone else or has physically set eyes on them. It is a place where weirdos have anonymity and is a stalkers playground.
So be careful who you meet and if you do decide to meet someone from a website take pepper spray and a hunting knife - preferably a doubled edged one!

What a complete turn around that would be!

Before the Internet the vast majority of people met locally. It was quit common to date people who lived close by, easily within 50 miles or much closer.

To now only date people who live far away would really be a major chance in social interaction. One "problem" with the Internet is that it does tend to keep people from going out. How many people sit at home today at their computers typing into forums who would otherwise be out somewhere if it weren't for computers?

The Internet is seriously changing the way humans interact for sure.

Forums and the like can be seriously addictive.

amazing the uses of silcone. I still perfer to watch and hear the words spoken from people. i believe nothing will ever replace that for knowing how someone thinks and acts.

Yeah, yeah, I know that already - the good thing is after you stab them and it doesnt work out - you know you wont get stalked by them because they will be in hospital!! You can rest in peace and serenity, you know, kick back with your feet up and enjoy life!

Probably a nice little safety zone for some. But for others it's a sad control issue.

Like those women that marry guys in prison. They're in total control of the situation.

OR an insecurity thing. They can brag about some grand online boyfriend but still live the single life.

Distance to me can make a bit of a difference. Time it takes to get there, having time to take that trip etc.

Its not a deciding factor on whether i would meet somebody but it does have influence. In driving distance I would say no problem depending on the drive time.

Something that requires flying would take more planning and time.

First and foremost have to be sure who you are meeting and be comfortable doing so. For the most part tho distance would have to be a factor for both parties before a decision to meet is made in my opinion.

safety in miles?

unless you go in hiding, what's the point?

there are folks that make me uncomfortable no matter where I am... should we all hidw in a hole?

comfort zones I suppose to each thier own..but, what of the next one she doesn't feel comfortable with? Reason she runs? must be.

Sometimes we have to break the bubble and face it...

just my thoughts...
