Agree, it is ahell of a risk, so is driving across a bridge.
You risk what you want, it is all a personal decision.

Yeah it all depends how well ya all do if the chemistry is right but all an all i do wish there were a lot more closer people.

It matters unfortunately. I met a wonderful girl while backpacking in Scotland, she was from Germany. I flew there twice to spend time with her, but in the end she didn't want to live here and I didn't want to live there. It was hard for both of us to realize the truth. Make sure you could, or would live where the person you are interested is from.

agreed with sage..u take risks in Everything U do..weather u meet someone 3,000 miles away or 5 miles away..chances are it wont work..never know

But ah, ((semper))..U are a cutie if u lived closer to me, i'd date ya!!

awwwwe thanks sweets! i just see the internet for new ways of meeting people from all over the world...ive seen it bring people together and push them apart....i think its a great thing to be able to talk to anyone you want from anywhere in the world..

I agree semper

I have made amazing friends all over the world... best part is...I always have some place to visit.

yeh, its a pretty cool thing..

so true artgurl

of course it matters, especially to those of us with kids.

i'm not dragging my kids across the country...i'm not taking them away from their doctors/specialists...their family...

and i couldn't afford to even if i were willing.

lulu i guess thats the downfall of it...

I believe in 3 Cs, which are the prerequisites before a couple should consider pursuing a long distance relationship:

chemistry
courage
(willing to) compromise

I agree Lulu...I wouldn't want to be away from my specialists (especially my shrink)


hehehe

i'm with lulu on this one.

Indeed, lulu. Good point!

artgurl is laughing because she knows how I can act up and need to be institutionalized, if I am not watched closely

nah, you just make me laugh airliner....in a good witty way. Nice to see you.

I believe if you find someone miles away from you, and you are
connecting quite well... you will find a way to meet.
Weather you are in the same state- or across the country.
It may be a bit more diffacult in some circumstances- then being
located nearer to each other. It may be worth it though- to take that chance... you never know.

People with children... are a different story. I can understand
not wanting to relocate, or not being able to afford it. Perhaps
you may meet someone willing to go to you...

Weather distance matters or not- depends on each persons circumstances.

being a single mom, i agree with lulu

yeah, i'm a single mother as well, we can't just drop everything when we got kids to think about. not so simple.
