Okay, I am curious if there are many people who think the same as me and if not I am open for discussion of course :)

Who are willing to date someone who lives abroad? (long distance relationship) And if so, do you have a preference for nationality (example: mexicans, asian, swedes, etc)

I know it sounds like a strange question, but I am sure we all have had these fantasy's (From what I know most of us ladies do at least!)

I personally do not really care about the nationality but I know that certain nationalities do attract my attention, like swedes and americans. For the swedes it was more because they have such a sexy language in my opinion and the americans, well they are nice people so far and I know they are kind of contradicting to one another :)

So I was simply curious what the rest of the community had in mind ;)

Personally I kind of think if there is little to no chance of me and the other person actually meeting then the most we can be is friends. So I wouldn't really consider it dating.

As for nationality. I wouldn't care. I love accents. I love listening to them and trying to duplicate them. I do a fairly good job with most of them I think. that is most of the ones I have heard. It's a fun thing to do.

So basically I would say I would pretty much consider anyone I talked to on a regular basis from another country or even the same country who I have little to no chance of actually meeting in real life to be just a friend.

I don't do long distance relationships. I wouldn't mind being chat friends with someone from another country, but that's it.

I remember falling for someone from another country. Not sure if it would last. The weird thing was, i was kinda hoping he'd notice me one day, and he did. I felt like my prayer had been answered. My heart did a little skip. lol. I was just so happy he wanted me. So yes, long distance doesn't put me off. As for accents, northern irish, London/Cockney, geordie accents all turn me on.

I like dating a broad.

Oh I know exactly what you mean! I kinda got the same thing when I hear swedish, just makes me feel giggedy ^_^

I know a couple that maintained a relationship like that for years, he's in the US, she's in the Philippines, but I couldn't do it. To each his own.

Giggedy? Is that like when some of us mean 'Giddy'? I'm sure that's what you mean. That feeling like you wanna run down the street with excitement. And where you don't stop smiling all day :)

Right now a friend of mine from high school (thanks, facebook) has been talking to me about her fiance. She lives in Detroit, MI (US), and he's in Edinburgh, Scotland.

They're making it work. And by that I mean she seems really happy.

It really just depends on the people and the circumstances, in my opinion. Clarity in conversation is necessary, since that's the most intimate contact you're capable of for extended periods of time.

He's currently in the long, long process of trying to get into America so they can be wed. He has a job in America saved for him, I think in some IT field or something, but now there's been this whole federal government shutdown thing that poses to set back a great deal of people from getting their visas.

All depends.

That is exactly what I mean (I think!!) In any case if I hear swedish I get this big strange grin on my face and if no one places me on a chair I hop up and down like a crazed rabbit XD

British accents are sexy. But only if the guy has a hot face.

Also, you have to have a lot of trust for the other person to do that. I'm not particularly good at trusting people..

I have had a couple long distance loves....They aren't easy.But then again no relationship is.

this is true, I myself had a relationship with an american for almost five years, It was tough but we had a lot of communication, although every relationship requires good communication, relationships at a long distance need it even moreso and we actually pulled it off till things went sour.

SO personally I do not mind it at all, I mean honestly I do not know a single girl/woman or wife who did not had any fantasy's about having her heart stolen by some hot foreign guy ;)

I know I sure did! (and secretly I still do? :P)

Even though the distance will put a lot of stress on your relationship, I think if you communicate and show love and affection for your partner it should be fine, generally speaking. XD

Well the lack of physical contact is really hard to make up for. At least it is in my opinion.

Ever been to Yorkshire?

As for different nationalities, may seem exotic and exciting, but when it comes to a LTR it isn't always handy nor easy. You got to think about cultural differences and language barriers.
I'd only go for a relationship with an English native speaker, so at least one speaks his own tongue. If both partners have to resort to English as a second language in order to communicate, things might get a bit difficult in the long run.
These things are easily overlooked and underestimated, especially if the other person is from another western country and culture, as you won't expect differences. But even within western culture, there are substantial differences.
Apart from that, there are many things you will never be able to share, because you come from different backgrounds. Think things you've been reared with, childhood stuff, customs and so on. May seem insignificant, but they're not.
However much you want to believe these things don't matter, in the end you have your roots in your own culture, childhood and so on. And at some point you will realize that you cannot and should not deny your roots as it means denying part of yourself. Thing is, you can never share this with a partner from another country/culture, and this works the other way round as well. You can talk about it, but not really share it.

So yeah, it's interesting, seems to be romantic and so on, but you gotta be realistic and be aware of the downside as well.

well i wud love to date cuties 4rm lebanon nd russian...lebanon's gal cz of their personality & russian cz of ther beauty,innocence <3
nd generally its amazing to hav ur bf/gf 4rm different part of the world...its very exciting...

Oh I wouldn't try to date anyone from another country, I have a hard enough time getting along with men from America. I just said I like to hear some of them talk.

Was just a joke, the rest was reply to OP, sorry, didn't make that clear, haha

No worries.
