A good week for me to get productive, cram work, take care of business and clean house!

You two are going to have a great time!

Dude, LDRs SUUUUUUUUUCK. I'm not a fan. It's so frustrating, wanting to be with someone who is far away.

That said, sometimes it happens. You "meet" someone online that you feel an instant connection with. You get caught up in talking and video chatting and discover that you really, really like them. It's definitely not ideal, but sometimes it's worth exploring.

I think that if you both have the means and the time available to actually visit one another and to spend time together it can work. I know people who have done it successfully and are now married.


Sweet torture, good things come to those who wait. :heart:

No, but happy as long as I get a window seat!

Have you ever had hybrid Mexican/Asian food?

Topic reminds me of "Logan's Run"

For many of us it's just the human condition to need companionship, intimacy, marriage is the ultimate step to that, a symbol of conviction, dedication.

Others might not need it formally symbolized.

Acting like I'm 16, spending waaayyyyy too much time on Zoom and WhatsApp, getting no sleep, talking about serious things, talking about funny things, misbehavin', laughing, loving every minute of it.

No progress whatsoever

I wonder how long it took for him and Bonnie to start video chatting?


Almost immediately, maybe a day or two.

I wonder if River has someone in mind that she would like to video chat with?

Sex is a human need, yes, but some of us see it differently than others, I personally feel it's empty when it's sex alone.

I just can't enjoy it without an emotional connection, that's just me though.

I do not begrudge anyone for their personal preference, as long as they respect mine..

My problem, especially with online dating here in particular, is that I specifically state on my profile I am NOT interested in sex alone, yet get non-stop messages from individuals promoting themselves as such.

It makes me feel as if I've been stereotyped, prejudged and I'm not worth at least reading my profile before being approached....literally gives me knots in my stomach.

Good topic.
One piece of advice based on my own experience, INSIST ON HEARING A VOICE!

Try Discord or any voice app where you aren't giving personal info out for at least the first contact.

I get nonstop messages from questionable individuals that want to immediately get my number solely for texting, go to Hangouts or WhatsApp - they what NO verbal contact whatsoever.

If they don't want to talk with their voice, this is suspect and after about a month of the same thing over and over I almost left.

I did not want a sext partner, nor did I want hookups, if a person's expressing interest and they cannot let you hear their voice, move on.

Thinking, with goofy smirk, "at least we're not saying 'no you hang up first!...no, you! ...no, you!'"

I mean, we're not 16, right? ..right?!? ... Gah!
