Im not stalking you Sweet! Just agreeing with you alot today..
You are right again, here, I think, although I know where Da10th is coming from too..
Its so easy, to be on a computer, and play out all your fantasies with a long distance relationship partner. You can make everything look rosy in the garden, and be the person you would LIKE to be, rather than the person you actually are, with flaws, and insecurities, and fears.
Yes, we are all guilty of that to a degree, I suspect, but I think if you are going to expect someone to travel 100s or even 1000s of miles at great expense, it is only fair that you come clean to the other before you allow them to brave that journey.
It was said earlier on on this thread by someone that "all the best people are so far away..sigh ", and I replied that that is said alot on here from people all around the world..in which case, Where IS the place to be??
I am absolutely certain, in my own mind, that distance CAN be used as an excuse to make it real..no doubt at all..
But just because Ive done it before, and for some reason it didnt work, I certainly wouldnt pass up the chance to do it again if I thought it would bring me love...
I see this said all the time; from people all around the world..
So, if all of the best ones are far away from all of us, where are we supposed to be??
In answer to the question, it would be nice if they were close ish, but for me, distance is not a barrier to being with the one I love. I would find a way..
Renting has become so difficult now - there are so many constrictions..
No Smokers No Pets Must be Employed Dont breath too loud after 6pm, you know the story...
I think, in answer to your post, it is not because women are "thriving" and men are "grovelling"..I simply think alot of it is because women have more safety issues to think about when they take in people, and they have to maybe be more circumspect..
You may have tried the accommodation site I know of that may be of help to you, but please email me if you want me to let you know. I cant mention another site on open forum.
My opening post was dripping in sarcasm regarding the "probation" period..I was trying to put across the point that there IS NO PROBATION PERIOD, but some people seem to think there is..
Welcome, scorpio, and I for one value all opinions..
I was trying to harness my sarcasm in my opening post! So what if they start a thread about a previous subject.. I mistakenly did when I started here, and I wasnt got at like some new members are these days..
RE: Do you care about distance
I agree...The majority of seemingly serious approaches I get on here are from guys overseas..
I know Ireland has a limited population, but are you telling me that Im not attractive to guys here??
I definately think that distance can work very well if you want a safety net and/or a smokescreen...
