I would relocate if it got serious but ONLY when I was absolutely sure I was making the right decision. Besides, life is about taking chances and never knowing what the future holds...
At the moment no, because Norway is one of the easiest countries in the world to live in, when it comes to living standard. Would not move to another country where they work twice as much for half the pay :p
cjd1987: I created this to see how many people would be willing to relocate for love!
not much willing to relocate... it is difficult, as for finding an appropriate job in different country and paying bills and contributions in both countries, mine and rellocated as well. That is just my trouble in a case of rellocation.
i would say relocating is hard for either party because each has their own family,posessions,jobs.lives and ecetera where they are now...who will give up what? it seems selfish to ask a person to give up something that is important to them that they worked hard to achieve.something that may have come thru hardship...and everyone has a life going on who is going to put it on hold or throw it away?LOVE may conqueor all but this is a major hurdle we are talking about...and unless the love is truely humongous it wont jump this fence...i think it is easier to do when you are younger becoz you dont have as much or have as much going on then....to give it up when you are over 30 shows a true devotion...seems like a trick question to me...
I don't think i would relocate to Slovakia even though I have family still living in that Country, there that I have never met. (my grandparents came from there to Canada) I would probably visit there.

ahoj Kanadan so Slovenskym povodom
you would be surprised how many people not only from English speaking countries have already rellocated to Slovakia, just because the market here is still not packed and still are opportunities for setting up business or get wonderful house for peanuts and have relaxing retirement
I actually did relocate for a girl, on other side of Europe, for about 2.5 years. Even though the relationship eventually got its plug pulled, I don't regret it. Lots of sun, good temperature, cheap beer and pita gyros, history, ancient sites, friendly people, cheap traveling etc, belly up, feet above my head for a couple of years :) Not sure how many people get that opportunity, so if one does, I'd recommend it strongly.
Family at home are just triple excited about seeing you once you're home visiting too, so its not that big of a problem IMO.
Scubadiva: It really depends on the country and the circumstances. I would not relocate further than an 8 hour flight from where my son lives.
Was open to it in principle...
The reality of it is that I couldn´t live the chilled out life I live now if I needed to make more money for travelling expenses incurred by the relationship. 3 generations of us already live in 3 different countries, I truly don´t need to spread over yet another country or continent.
So no!! I won´t relocate.
And I won´t have anyone relocating for me because I have made the decision not to live with someone until we have got to know one another very well. In other words, he would need to have his own place.
I have relocated, have been instrumental with helping frustrated boyfriends harness their careers and make better use of it which in turn increased both their skill and income, have lassoed the moon, so to speak, for love. What can I say, but I rock for real.
(by lassoing a moon I get to sing this..."some people call me the space cowGIRL, some call me the gangster of love"...)
I would do it again more than likely, for a serious relationship, and depending on the place, too. My career makes me mobile, but I still have three more years of college to go. And I haven't chosen my destination yet for the Master's program...
It would be difficult for me to relocate for many reasons...one really needs to know for certainty that the relationship will work out over the long haul...this is a really tough one to answer
