Right on sister!!!!

I've been conversing with a really nice guy for a little bit now. Problem is, he lives 1.5 hours away and it breaks my new 30 minute rule. Started out as just to be making friends, but I'm inching towards maybe thinking about a real life meeting. I'm not sure what to dooooooooooooooooooooooooo........ I really don't want to be getting into ANY kind of distance related things. Even that small of a distance, but the kind of quality guy I would like to date just doesn't seem to be found around here. Someone help a girl out here with a little advice!

I think you can find someone you might want to have a relationship with...but I don't think the actual relationship part of it comes around until you are in the person's physical presence.

Ok to me that distance isn't anything at all. I live so remote that most of my relationships have been LDR's and well if I found someone 30 minutes away I would be in heaven. So I say go for it.
I also agree with JAG, You can make a connection on line, via phone, and webcam you have to keep in mind that it isn't real till you actually smell and touch them.
I also believe the longer you wait to meet the more likely you run a chance of building the person into something not real.

No advice from this corner either...a 1.5 hour distance would be welcome in the great expansive west (you've got mail, BTW!) I'd say give it a try and don't worry...if it's good, the distance won't seem like a big deal.

OMG...when will this desert wind be done??? I am SO over it!

Would that be 30 minutes by car, or airplane???

I know a lot of areas, but not yours, are only accessible by air up there....lmao

No sir we also have the Alaska Marine Highway system so there...
You know how I feel about distance in a relationship. I have had a few LDR's and if a person is willing it can be done. There is a lot of trust and respect there has to be.

I absolutely agree.

1.5 hours is a lot to a mom who has kids in activities 3-6 days a week, 2 jobs and a house to care for. Hence my 30 minute rule. If I can't share in the traveling in order to actually date the guy, I feel I shouldn't be dating him. He has said the distance is no big deal to him, but I imagine that could change if we actually started dating and it became an often thing (just hypothesizing here). When and if I start dating someone again, I'd like to be able to SEE them you dorks! Not just type at them. Huh, I very well could have just answered my own question....

BTW..I say dorks in only the most loving way....

hello jag and heather, i dont know why but i have this craving for cheese??

jaggy i've got the nicest boyfriend imaginable. if i had to list the traits i wanted in a boyfriend, he would possess all of them and then some. i don't think i'm good enough for him...

just thought i'd give the update... we went out on our first date this past thursday after about 2 weeks of talking on the phone almost everyday. he's a completely thoughtful, affectionate, considerate, protective, supportive, funny, committed and respectful gentleman. and very much wiser and more intelligent that his 22 years would suggest. the one negative thing i can say is that he was about 20 minutes late for that date, but i forgave him by the end of the evening lol.

i'm still waiting for the catch... ... but until then i am really liking this.

Ya do? Did you just get done with the whine?

Dork is a supreme compliment!

Jas...I think I can speak for us all when I say we are SO happy for you!

Glue your 8 year old to your head.. Im sure they know..

Well said, G. :-)

JAG...when you are HOOKED on a particular song - how do you get it out of your head???

thanks.
