Thank you Monte. I am sorry to hear of your difficulties. Seems like much the same may be in store for her. Her doctor initially predicted a return to work, with a cane, by Jan. 7. Now it's Feb. 1.
As I mentioned a couple days ago elsewhere, my gf GACryptic has just endured knee-replacement surgery. The operation went well, but the damage was worse than expected. Please! Take a few moments of your time to send a flower and get-well-soon wishes to GACryptic.
Question is wrong, Ali my friend. T'ain't no "in" to do with it. Love exists everywhere. Love is where and when you find it. So, everybody, keep your eyes out!
He sounds like a nice fellow, and it appears you like him. Keep your options open.
You didn't say what other country, but I see you're in Hialeah. Offhand I can think of a dozen foreign nations that are closer to you than, say, Boise Idaho, which is in your own country.
I've known at least 3 international couples who met on here: New Zealand/Australia, USA (Florida)/Spain, and Scotland/Spain. So, yes, it can work.
My own international relationship ultimately did not work out though. Not because it was international; simply because of the distance. But in retrospect, it was worth the effort.
I agree, Daveland. I find nothing more appealing about a woman than her smile. To me, it sends the message: "I'm happy, I'm comfortable, I'm well-adjusted and in control of what's going on, and I like it." Naturally, this message is even more appealing if she's smiling at me.
Of course, no one can smile all the time. Life can be tough. We're only speaking of "first sight" here.
Whoa. Whoa. Ccincy, with all the respect I have for you, this is untoward.
And falling in love with someone you just met is not?
When is it different?
Ok, I've only scanned the whole thread, but I didn't see any mention of "months" nor of repeated no-shows.
And same could be true if you met in person...yes?
Or if you met them IRL, could be an axe murderer, could be a sociopath, could be a Republican...list goes on, doesn't it? Let's not get paranoid about where and how we meet anyone.
Sorry to abbreviate your post, Newlife, but I wanted to make just this point about your conclusion: isn't that the same, no matter where or how you meet someone? You hope it'll work out, but in truth, it doesn't always? Could be so if they lived next door or lived on Mars.
Getting involved with anyone, anywhere, anyhow, it's always a gamble, isn't it? We never know if it's gonna work out in the long run.
But I think, we should still place bets anyway. Ya can't win if ya don't play.
Shameless appeal for sympathy
I shall do. Lovely flowers, and I am certain they will cheer her heart. Thank you!
