i found someone on this site and was with him 8months. eventually the distance was too hard and he couldnt handle waiting for me to finish school and move! I think that a lot more people would find someone for them if distance wasnt a factor

ya know what I always say, when you give up and quit lookin and you're finally comfortable with the idea of being alone, THATS when love smacks you like a 2x4 right between the eyes

your a gorgeous lady, junebug. you're sweet and charming and intelligent. You'll find somebody

I think a lot more people than we realize are afraid of emotional intimacy or are people who "love too much".

After several tries on several sites as well as the real world, I finally found the one for me when I really wasn't even looking. I almost didn't even send that first message because I thought there was no way in hell she would give me the time of day. I'm damn glad I did now. smitten

If I can find it, trust me it's out there for everyone.


Ya know, I was wondering about this too...if we don't write to folks because we think we already know they won't give us the time of day or are out of our league?


I had a couple emails completely ignored. But the way I look at it, if they are the type of person to just pass judgement and turn their nose up without even knonwing me, they aren't the type of person I'd be looking for anyway. But I didn't give up, and now I am one happy camper. smitten

Not everyone appears online as they are in real life! So with that said, I take longer to see if someone is actually interested and if they are who they represent themselves to be!

Well said!

Ya mean they have 'issues' and I think you're right about that. Think before ya place a profile on a dating site, ya need to first deal with your issues so you can move on.

Thank you.

Yes, a very happy ending. I didn't even think I'd get a reply, and she turned out to be "the one". And miles means nothing if it's the real thing.

It's out there, as long as you don't give up.

No amount of miles should stand in the way of love.

I drive race cars... a 12 hour drive in a regular car I can do standing on my head. LOL

papersmile just left today to go home. 1200 miles away. the distance is an annoyance and an aggravation but not an insurmountable one

This is what I'm hoping for from this thread...to turn your thoughts around, think outside of the box, away from the familiar, take a chance when ya think there is none. It's hard enough without being self-defeatists.

You have to be willing to make it work. You have to be willing to compromise. And to be honest, being a few miles apart leaves no choice but to take the time to get to know each other, learn about each other, and all that. After our first chat until the wee hours of the morning, we knew, but we also discussed the distance thing and how to make it work. I just spent the afternoon today with an atlas and Mapquest and an ink pen trying to figure how I'm going to get there. LOL

Communication is a big factor in making it work.
