I have heard that they do and even have known people that have claimed to fall in love without ever meeting. But how does it work? How can you trust and believe what they are saying? I have emailed and talked on the phone with men from different states that are claiming they are willing to relocate but after a phone call or a couple emails it seems to fizzle. I know unless they are friends how do you find the romance and the spark online? Tell me something good or bad about your cyber romance please.flowerforyou

i met a guy online that lived about 3 hours away and it worked for a while but than the distance got to be to much and although he said he would relocate if it got serious he never talked about it after we were seeing each other for about 6 monts ..when i asked him he said if we get serious i will think about it ..we didn't date much longer after that ...frustrated

I don't know that they do. I am trying to find out. But the person I am interested in is only 3 hours away. The funny part is, I never met him or talked to him before. Kinda cool how that happens flowerforyou

Trust is something you must find within yourself. There is no simple answer for that one.

As for the relocating, well that won't happen for me for at least 5 years. His kids are younger. I think if it works it works, then if it doesn't, it wasn't the distant that mattered.

Hope all works out for you flowers

Short distance romance is bad. Ask me, and I will tell you never to date your own co-worker.

they can in some point
i had a long distant relationship with my ex hubby off and on before we got married
he lived 400miles away(4hour drive)
he lived here when he felt like it and then he went back towards his family.
question on if he would cheat.. i didnt have to for i knew him to well that he would and of course he did. even when he was living here.. i put up with his crap for 2yrs. he cheated before during and after we got married.
while we were separated he got involved with someone else. and they had a child together. well he cheated on her with his 2nd wife. and im sure he has cheated on her. she put up with his crap.. he had lied to her about me.. he told her that he threw me down the stairs. that was BIG LIE!! THAT NEVER HAPPENED. he told her i burned his clothes that wasent true. he told her that we were already divorced when he met her. that wasent true

im in a relationship now. as where he only lives a hour away. and it getting to the point that im not sure whats going on for i have only seen him 5 times sense november...frustrated

Only works as well and as long as you want it too.....

I am in NY and my fiance I met on here lives in Idaho, we have been together for two years.

Quiet_2008 is in TX and papersmile is in Canada and they have been together for a while.

Dan99 is in England and pinklady is in Scotland, I believe, and they have been a couple since before joining.

So it can work.

Maybe I am so worried about the what ifs that I am not allowing myself to date at all. When I do talk to someone new it seems I talk about all the things wrong in my life so they know right up front. Or anything that could be a negative to someone in my age group. As I said in another topic I need to find a therapist and quick.frustrated

Honey, I did that for 8 years. Don't waste your life away with the "what ifs". It just took the perfect timing in my case. Not saying that I have anything to brag about at the moment, except I have realized a lot about myself.

Does it make it worth it to take the chance, yes it does. It may not be all I hope it to be, but it will be way worth the effort. flowerforyou

Thank you for the advice I think I am scared because of losing my husband due to an accident. Maybe I am protecting myself from getting hurt. I am so glad I have started posting in the forums I love to read them and hear what others are writing about and I have met some really nice people on here so thanks.:thumbsup:
