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

Age is nothing but a number.

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:



You do learn a lot from these here forums. But nothing beats life experiences. It is tough what you went through, I can't even imagine. But it wasn't a wrong choice of yours that brought the heartache. It was a good choice with the wrong outcome. Please always remember that flowerforyou

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


Who is to say if they lived one mile away the relationship might not fizzle after a few dates?? I think it is just a risk you take.

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



Wow your right about dating a co-worker, it's tough. Will not do that again.

In my experience...no relationship works, but hey, that's just me...probably the cannibalism, that gets them I think.

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.


Over two years for us now and 4/5 months away from living together.

It just depends on the people involved. Its not easy, more LDR's fail than become permanent.
