This is all burbs out here. Just some a little snootier than others.

I don't wonder. I know. I also know that LDR's do not work for me.

Dabbled with 3 LDRs in 2006. Never again. I figure my limit now is somewhere between 6 and 8 blocks.

I agree with you about not limiting yourself to one corner of our big world. People have their reasons for their choices.

Seriously I see pros and cons with a LDR. I think you have to understand one person is going to be moving. That has to be a given.
Then you have to have great communication skills. I mean able to talk about everything.
Then you also are blessed with great tech. now so there is webcams which isn't being right there but you can spend quality time with each other.
I have done it a couple of times. One ended because of his petty jealousy. The other well he was married and I found out.
Would I do it again for the right person.
The key is communication, trust, respect, and honesty. If you don't have those things well come to think of it if you don't have those things in any relationship it isn't going to work.
The bottom line is how bad do you want it.

My longest long distant relationship was 2 and a half hours. He came to me first and over the few months we were together we traveled to see eachother for "dates" and talked on the phone a lot. It was a matter of trust and I would defently have another long distance relationship in a heart beat.

There isn't anything I want badly enough to want it from 897,000 miles away.

My apologies, I was quoting you since I laughed at what you stated and then got down to posting to the original post. I do understand your reasoning.

If my engine is fully warmed by the time I get there, it's too far.

It's OK, I'm just being facetious.

I guess, after my bad LDR experiences in 2006, I'm just not willing to do that anymore. Not saying it's bad for everybody else -- I mean, look at Eileen and Jon, there's a perfect example of two people who truly made it work -- but I don't have that kind of focus or attention span.

LDR'S=one thing your still lonely till they come visit and making out over the phone is so blahlove is worth the chance but how do you know its really love...ok its three things

I won't say never again..........
but long distance relationships are the pits.

Getting a hug when you need it is really hard to do when he's on the other side of the country.

If he wants to move to Mizzou, I'm okay with that.

I agree with both you and Lex alot yet I have to come in again and state, if we aren't willing to take the chance then why are we all here? I mean we all have pubs or something of that sort to mix and mingle with yet we come on here make great friendship across the world.
I maybe different I have flown across the states for a first meet. Knowing up front that if there is a connection and I am communting like crazy that I may move to that area. I will be checking out jobs, culture things etc..

i travled first" to another country to see a women a few month's ago it was good but this time, if a woman really want's me she would have to come see me

4 blocks.

about 25 miles max I think

I traveled over 700 miles to meet my man. It was well worth the effort too.

My first ex-wife was from East Islip.

If it such an easy solution to find someone up the street why havent any of you? If love was up the street we wouldnt have to be on any dating site.............

There is no distance so great that my heart will not travel!
