Would dating actually working toward a relationship maybe more with someone that lives in a different climate than what you find desirable be something you would consider? Why; why not?

Lol, after living in in frozen wastelands for more than a couple years I think I'd settle anywhere with a good person.

Is the other person paying for my move?

Free moves were a lot of what made military life nice but footing the bill is horribly expensive now days. Especially if you move from one climate zone to another. I have wondered if I would want to help someone move where I am because I love the climate here so much.

A move to warmer climes than the UK would not be a problem, not too keen to move to a colder one, but if I was in a Long Distance Relationship with someone the climate would not be a factor. A more serious issue for me would be the political climate.

Not sure. I had desert climate in Australia and (sub)tropical in Indonesia. Both have severe disadvantages to what I consider to be a normal life-style.
Apart from that, no snow ... no real change of the seasons, very weird.

I easily dehydrate, I don't get much of a tan, I burn a nice crispy red, even had purple. So extremely hot is a no-go.
If I had to choose, I'd prefer cold(er) over hot

I'm actually more 'concerned' about timezones. Noticed in the UK that it starts to get dark real early in the afternoon. Only an hour's difference, but losing the full spectrum of daylight at 3 or 4 does make a he|| of a difference!
Never noticed until I went over there in December. Didn't like it.

You must visit the UK in July, because we do have a very big difference in daylight hours in the UK. January 8 hours July 16.5 hours, which is why it is dark at 4.00pm in January and 10.00pm in July. ( If it is a rainy day in January it does seem to go dark even earlier). The late warm summer evenings in July when everyone is outside until dark make up for the cold dark early winter evenings of January. I enjoy all the seasons in the UK but I do prefer the summer months. When I visit my daughter in West Australia in their summer time, the days seem short because it is going dark at 8.00pm, and I miss the light later evenings of summer in the UK. At least it is always warm their, too warm on occasion, during their summer time where the UK weather is more unpredictable, and we can have more rain and cooler temperatures than we should have in summer.

I would go regardless of weather, shells, bullets, whatever I had to do to be with a person I was sure was the right person for me. This supposes, of course, the country I live in would allow travel to that specific country, which would be beyond my control. I guess it all depends on how much a person is committed in a relationship-both of them. :smile:

Yeah, I know, we're not that far apart, you know, haha. Just that we're an hour ahead of you.

I've been to London in July couple years ago :) Went to the tube station with (part of) my name, just so I could have my picture taken there, haha. After some 4, 5 days I got fed up with London. I'm not a city girl :) I did like Camden.
