That’s more than likely the best advice but there is still a part of me yelling out JUST GO FOR IT

Hi, since you asked, i'll be honest. If you find it too costly to go the first time, don't you think it's unrealistic to even begin the long distance relationship? What happens the second, third, or fourth time, you two have to meet?


About moving to be with each other ( i presume forever), don't you think it's a bit too soon to even think of that?



dunno

I wish you the best of luck. I agree with Crotty P about going for it, and also with KMD that you need to meet several times first. There are ways to get cheaper air fares, check around online. Good luck, and keep us updated!

thumbs up cheers

Crot, you still amaze me! Scientific, yet such a romantic...seems like a contradiction. (Well, who am I to talk about those...I'm a bunch of walking dichotomies myself.) hug

Well, I am going to be very British about this.

Plan and save the money, get a fixed date and plan for that.

Do not think about April next year, Christmas is a good goal, you should plan for that time.

If it is meant to be then it will not go by you...

By all means, you are not gonna know unless you meet her.

Me, personally, I wouldn't be making any definitive plans as such until after that meet-up. I couldn't possibly make future commitments without meeting someone first. A connection over the airwaves or telephone is one thing, the rest is quite another.......

Quite often, if one has been on there own for some time, devoid of love and affection, and craving companionship, it can cloud one's otherwise rational judgements....??

Best of luck to you, my friend!! cheers

No guy. When I first joined CS, I was interested in a woman from New Hampshire. A very nice lady. But I realized that Being in Florida and on a fixed income, I wouldn't be able to travel to see her. She has a great job where she lives and would be silly to give that up for me. So, I walked away from it.


If the same thing were to happen again, I would react the same way. I am a realist that way. But I have given up trying to find a partner,but would only date if they were very local

Talking from personal experience... meet face to face at least once before deciding anything.... I met someone on another site and spend 2 months talking to him... we exchanged photos, had amazing phone conversations lasting 3 hours and still had a hard time saying good bye. On paper he was my ideal mate and when I met him he was exactly what and who he portrayed himself to be, but there was no chemistry between us... that special zing was no where in evidence. I spent a lovely weekend with him and said goodbye.

So no matter how perfect things may seem between you... until you meet you really have no idea if there is potential or not.
