faded_dino: I've done the long distance thing and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.....You just have to know what your looking for and willing to make sacrifices to get there, but going to another country.....you should always have a fall back, so you don't get stuck.
I do date people from other countries, why do you think I'm in Finland, and going back to Cyprus xmas.
I would only date locally. I'm a firm believer that a relationship must be carried face to face not on the internet. Don't get me wrong, online dating is good to initially meet the person, but then you must meet in person in order to get to know each other.
Also, since my vacation time is very limited is hard to fly to another continent to see somebody. Then, you also have to take in consideration the cost of immigration, which is very expensive and I'm not talking about the plain ticket I'm talking about the legal aspect and paperwork.
i Would date someone who lives in another country as I already dated and had a long term before, but not from CS or another sites ... here only for forums after some bad experiences...

doberman3: I met someone not from CS. He was from England. What a mistake. We had hardly know each other a month and was talking about getting married in 2011. It was going too fast. I broke up with him last week. It was too much.
So I voted no.
But I would say with the right person it might be fine. But now, my trust in long distance relationships is lacking completely.
I am convinced that it is too hard to really know that person without being around them alot. So I will stick to dating in the USA.
Though I am thinking about dating a person in another state 12 hours from me. I think we have alot in common. Plus, a risk is a risk, but at least we are not nearly 5,000 miles apart.

callofdutymn: Im seeing alot of people on here from all over the world, so Im curious to see what people think...
No, I wont date someone in another country! First of all dating is like a casual twice a week thing,movies,dinner,a cocktail.Ummm how can i do that with someone in Siberia(boban no pun intended) lol. Maybe it works for some ppl but very long distance just is not realistic for me!

Better look for someone with the same Citizenship as you...
Because Immigrations is in Control, and wants Money Too....
anyone wanting to Go to another country, to Stay and get residence,and or Citizenship, and Work, is in for a long, and expensive Journey, Then add Airfare to that, and the Lack of Jobs to that, Then some extra Money...just in case...
Its a long, winding, and expensive journey..... and MANY times, it dont work out.....for various reasons...But many have done it......and some of them probably survive it...
But I think I need a Citizen Of The USA... from My experience

The Dobe
After knowing each other for only a month, wee bit too soon to be talking about marriage!
I would, but only if we could be together in real life in the foreseeable future. He'd have to be willing to move here, or he'd have to be in a country I'd be willing to move to. Language barrier doesn't really bother me, I've studied 7 languages so far and feel confident I could learn whatever language I'd need to to live in another country, but only if it's a safe country with a good economy.
