You surely don’t meant that? If yes I sure hope it doesn’t apply to everybody :innocent: so you won’t allow any long distance person to get close to you and fall in love? Just curious


OH I mean it just as surely as day follows night.
Applies to everybody.
The only way I'd allow anyone to get close to me and fall in love is if SHE travels to me.
I'm sure that's gonna happen... like NOT!

I DID travel to another country to meet a woman I had exchanges with for months on the Net back in 2003.
I travelled 8000 miles like an idiot.
She welcomed me at her place, had a good time ( or so I thought ) ate, drank, had sex...
Then she wakes me up in the middle of the night - first night! - and complained I was snoring!
Snoring? I would think so! I had traveled half the world, stayed up for 46 hours, went out and had sex like an animal and she didn't expect I'd be so tired that it might've been UNDERSTANDABLE that I may snore?
She asked me out that morning! So much for ALL the sweet words that came out her keyboard and mouth for months prior to that.
Her prerogative!
I was stupid.
Never again whoa

I understand that is one nightmare but what if it went the other way? She was all you imagined and what you visualised all came true? Would you have stayed? Would you say you were truly in love or just just?

What if what if... what if penguins had teeth?
I would have stayed with her until death did us part. I loved her - for my part.
She wasn't the most beautiful but intelligent and fun! Beauty isn't everything to me. Character is what matters.
I believe love grows as two people learn to appreciate each other's qualities and learn to live with the faults, no one is perfect.

Going the distance and meeting someone is not stupid in my opinion. If you really want to get to know the person and you know it will be worth it. It won’t be a waste of time and effort even if it does not turn out the way we hope for. It’s up to us how we look at it or don’t.

It is often said that a relationship needs to be worked on, in Roosters case a simple thing like Cayenne would have prevented the snoring.
But we all have faults, some worse than others, and the majority of those faults are very simply overcome.

Yes if only we could see the flaws through our screens and decide before hand if we can tolerate and love the person enough to stay then it would surely save us a lot of money and heartache lol.

Correct. It's up to us, or in this case, up to me.
I'm 48y/o, I got no time to be stupid anymore.
If the "right lady" is willing to cross my path and treat me like a human being and not a human resource, then I may consider it.
In the mean time, I love my life the way it is.
No shortage of women willing to have short uncommitted relationship in my area.
And I'd rather die alone, not lonely mind you, than make another stupid mistake, lose everything in the divorce and have suicidal thoughts again from realising I loved her while she loved my wallet and resources.

I would go the distance literally but figuratively I have my walls protecting my heart . On line is not real till people meet, are able to touch and feel if the words that were said came from the heart. I am perfectly flawed.

Why is it some men, no matter what age group, contact women close by!!!

Most of my. Meets are from Miles away.

Just cause you are within 50-100 miles does not mean you're a match. whoa

Going back to this I’ve set my filters far but still get matches who are near . I think it’s just part of the site. I prefer to chat with people who are far away and learn more about life outside my box. Hopelessly hopeful that maybe someday distance as I see it will never matter.

Most of the time, we search for the pearl a 1000 miles away while the diamond is right next door.
