I get a lot of emails. I am sick of men in other countries. No not Ghana. Some I know are sincere. Some questionable. I honest to gawd just want that American guy around my age. I don't want to be exported or imported anywhere. I feel like there are enough Americans here to choose from. How far away would you consider dating or having a relationship in the U.S.? I haven't dated since 1990 until this past October. I suck at it. I pick the impossibly far away ones. I do have local friends approach me but it's like I know too much about them that I don't like. Too much history. Who their exes are personally, etc. I am tempted to say I will only date in Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles Counties but what if Mr. Amazing is a few minutes further away in Orange County or worse my beloved San Diego that I would move to in a heartbeat for the right person? SIGH. I mean what standards do the rest of you hold people to?

being retired, living and traveling the country in my rv i can be local anywhere in a matter of days.

Personally I think being loco is fairly hard to deal with. Everyone thinks your crazy or something. It also makes it hard to find a girl, even ones close by, that will give you the time of day. I don't know what it is. I'm the same as any other loco I would think, not better not worse. I'm your average loco. Sometimes I feel like wearing a sign and standing on the street corner "loco wanting love" but I'm afraid that this might be coming on too strong. I met one girl that I thought might be promising but I didn't want to tell her I was loco, so I lied. I told her I was an alien. It didn't make any difference to her she treated me like a loco and moved on.

From now on I'm not taking any chances. That's right from now on you can consider me a loco alien.

to funny mg but true.

One can be loco either way I am afraid. Loco one made the long trip to find out it didn't work out or loco that they weren't that far away and it didn't work out. But local could be cheaper.

Love your sense of humor!

Haha my local is within a hour's drive found one that only lived like 10 min away perfect for me....

Well, I gave the coast to coast thing a go with my first internet fella. He was in Oregon, I was in Ohio. ( I know I told him that just because they both started with "O" we were not local.) He made all kind of statements that he had no ties, could move anywhere and yadda blabba. Ended up that he did not want to move here and that I should move there. So you can guess it did not work out. So I learned my lesson, and eventually meet Rick, an hour away. That is more like local.

I found one that is 2 hours away. Not really local but it is possible to see each other when we want. It just takes a little more scheduling.

An LDR is not for everyone. It really depends on the two people involved and their needs.

To me, local is anywhere I can drive without too much inconvenience. Probably 2 to 3 hours max.

If you are really open to meeting "Mr. Right" than leave your distance parameters open and decide on a case by case basis.

"Local" for me is 6 blocks, maybe 8 if it's nice out.

Long distance does not work for me. I'd prefer to be able to hop in my car and see someone fairly quickly (within an hour) if I'm dating. I'd settle for driving a bit farther (2-3 hours?) if I find someone I really hit it off with.

I am not budging for anyone. I figure I have moved enough in my lifetime.

My thoughts exactly

For me, local is about a 50 mile radius, since I live out in the country. Puts me up to Dallas, and over to Arlington, max. And even thats iffy. Oh, and I won't move back into the city. Period.

I have a tent and sleeping bag loaded on Pepper and am ready to travel.

Will someone love me please!




Come on pep, you said you would get up and help me find love. I'm your best friend remember? What about all those bones and treats?
