If you fell in LOVE here would you move to be with your lover...or just ride it for as long as you can???

I guess I am wondering HOW strong is your LOVE and Devotion...Is love REAL without sacrifice???

I'm pretty sure I would be answering this question differently at different times in my life because it all depends on personal goals and those change at various times in your life.

So if you have fallen in LOVE are you saying you would pass up LOVE for career? Do you think you can LOVE someone who is not on board with your personal goals?

I dont think I could. I would want the man i love to be on board with my personal goals and supportive of them, otherwise we are not a match and i could not love them wholly.

for me when it happens if it happens i would have to think bout it don't know if i could be far apart from my family i would probably have to see if maybe they can meet half way some where but till it happens then why worry lol

First, it would have to move beyond just this site. We'd have to meet and spend time together to see how things actually go in person. Then it would depend on what's going on in our lives and who would be able to pick up and move more easily than the other.

I have already moved to the US because I was in love with someone and managed to finish school. I don't regret it. Although sometimes I wish I could have focused on my carrier.

If I found the perfect match and everything is mutual I would consider moving, especially if it's somewhere I always wanted to go to, but it would definitely depend on where and other circumstances.

No, I would not give up certain things that I value and that are part of my personal growth simply because I would change, and the person who fell in love with me would change how he feels about me based on that. So in other words, we would be setting ourselves up for failure. Love should never require sacrifices related to personal growth as love can never grow without personal growth.

Honestly I'm not willing to cross that bridge again and I'm talking LDR. I'm only looking for those that live within the same area as I do.

Call me shallow, stupid what ever I have been down that road. My kids, and grand kids along with all my family that is left lives here. I own my own house therefore my roots are planted pretty deep and I'm not willing to move.

Sooooooo I would not start something with someone that lives outside of my area. Results is I don't have to make those choices nor do they.

If it so be that I pass up a chance to be with somoene then that is the price I'm willing to pay.

I'd probably be willing to move to a new area. Of course I'd want to be sure that all lights were "green" first. I wouldn't want to be hasty or impulsive...It takes time to see if someone is "right" for us...And I'm bored with my area anyway and could use a "fresh start!" I like to play "rolling stone" every so often to see new sights and sounds! (And experience life in different areas!)

TxsGal. I'm there with you. M
y reasons are my parents are older and help me with my son, and I truly can call them my best friends.
My career is here. My home is here. My son's father is here (and hes so young -6-its important that he have him around). I Just don't think I could do it.
I have limited myself, I know But there are things I just cannot compromise.
So if I have to bypass some great opportunities than it was not meant to be.

I absolutely love the area I live in, so it would take a lot for me to move for someone. I also am not looking for anything long distance, either. Of course, some things just happen, but it would take a lot to happen for me.

I think I'm to old to "fall in love."

Truthfully, this is a total no-brainer for me. There is nothing for me where I am other than the fact I have no way out. I'd go in a heartbeat if the right opportunity arose.

I get bored if I stay in the same area for too' too long. I don't want to become a "pot-bound plant." And right now my "pot" is ready to burst at the "seams!"

I'd probably we willing to move, depending on the situation... If i was madly in love with someone who had obligations to things that made it impossible for them to relocate, then yeah. I wouldnt' pass up on love... but they would have to be willing to ride it out for quite a while first to make sure things were good... i moved to be with someone before, and it damn near destroyed my life...

See I dont think True Love exists without Sacrifice. But im with you, my family and kids are settled in here and I would not move.

Well yes obviously there would be more to a relationship than swapping comments online....Sometimes it doesnt require one to move. Sometimes it would. I just wonder how deep ones love would have to run in order to have that happen. I mean, in reality all the people in the military are constantly moving for love. To hawaii, Japan, Korea....they make it seem so simple, but i know it must be hard.

many couples feel that if they have each other and their kids, that is all that matters...

If by some miracle I did fall in love, I would not leave Colorado. My roots and family are here.

Well perhaps you can then, Trip over your walker and land in LOVE..

Yeah, before my kids, i thought about joining the peace corps. I didnt mind traveling and moving around. But since my divorce, i am kind of stuck where I am. I like to know when i get involved with a person though if they are willing to move if it ever came to that. I got lucky.

Oh and as a writer, you probably have more freedom to pick up and move around than other careers..which would probably deter people from wanting to leave the financial stability in their lives.

I don't think I could fall in love with someone I lived so far from. I would not be around them enough for it to go that far. I am very open when it comes to talking with people but I also tend to be slow at letting someone "in" in a relationship sort of way.
