If you believe in the concept of soulmates (which I do) then you have to be prepared to do whatever it takes... it may be that the perfect person for us isn't on our door step, so travelling or making changes to our lives may be required.... having said that if you meet your perfect partner, it will be a mutual thing and a compromise and will not be that much of a chore after all...
Having said that mike... what if ur perfect girl is on your doorstep... I wouldn't rule that our either

2catchastar: I can't say I know they work, but I have to say that I think if you want it bad enough you can make it work.
And in the end, isnt it worth it?
And in the end, isnt it worth it?
in the end it is VERY much "worth it".
However,someone must eventually relocate.
The key to healthy longterm compatibility seems to be acceptance, tolerance along with compromise and sacrifice.
Ultimately you have to "be happy" on your own before you can share that LOVE, with someone else.
Finding yourself interesting ,passionate and inspired about life along with shared common interests and goals also only goes so far.
There needs to be a Peaceful coexistence.

Good points Orla.You specifically mention the word compromise. Also you speak in some detail about sacrifice.

I have. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder.

I would recommend, if possible, to avoid getting into long distance relationships which are outside of a comfortable travelling distance (affordable plane tickets, reasonable driving distance).
And I would say RUN from relationships where someone else, such as an immigration officer, can easily decide your destiny by such magic words as, for instance, "visa denied". (Believe me, not only bad people and terrorists are denied visas.)
Of course, love knows no boundaries, but I believe there is more than one person out there that we could be happy with, so I would try to stay out of such an affair, because life is short. Speaking from experience, I'd rather be alone than in pain, trying to connect with my beloved person through the computer screen. (Thank goodness IP telephony has at least made the $700 phone bills a history)

Yes, and I think it's a GREAT first test for the relationship. Who will compromise, who will ask for the time off work, have the $$$$ to spend on the trip, put their dog in the kennel or take their child to grandma's place to look after.... It can be a real eye-opener, once the couple decides to meet in person, and later on to move in together.

Which will not necessarily represent the real feelings? In a normal relationship you have to co-exist side by side, not far apart, so all the "missing" factor will not, in fact, constitute your relatioship.That's where problems may begin.
