Would you really pass on what may be the love of your life because it would be a LDR for a couple of years?

Me, I have to stay put for a couple, then I can move wherever there is a VA hospital. So I would put up with the time apart and the LDR to not miss the love of my life. Besides, absence makes the heart grow fonder, doesn't it?

I already know some who would pass...but how many would row those dice?

I've no problem waiting.. if the chemistry was there and we were on the same page.. sure.. there'd have to be mutual trust though

I didn't remain single this long without possessing a LOT of patience. tongue2

Okay, to begin with, I would REALLY have to feel I knew what I was waiting for. Because it would take someone REALLY special for me to wait a very long time...but that is the goal after all...REALLY special, that is. bigsmile

Absolutely, if you find the one that you know is right for you, distance & time mean nothing! I guess you do what you can to make it work somehow...

Yes mutual trust and love. And time and distance mean nothing. Of course they're special if you are waiting for them!

I Would pass on what may be the love of my life, if he lived far away. I have already done this. He lived over 2000 miles and came to visit me after year and half of communicating. No way could we even date. And, at that time I couldn't move because of my Work in 2008.

Absence makes for a failed relationship, for those who like being together.

I don't roll dice but if the man lived within 500 miles we may have a good chance of a LDR. love :tongue:

I'm afraid I don't understand people who are on dating sites that won't accept a LDR. I mean, most everybody you meet are far away? And with air fare so cheap, well, you know....

Many want a date close by to get to know the person better. Most men I meet of Interest to me live Miles away. Fortunately I connect with some who don't mind traveling. I live in a small city. If I lived in a Large City, I wouldnt be on the Internet seeking a mate. I said with 500 Miles.

Most Men online want a Woman in their back yard or down the block or around the block.laugh

I'm talking with someone Out of State now. He lives hundreds of miles away. Conversations are good on the phone, everything is going good. He has even sent me gifts. He is a good man, but he is also hundreds of miles away and I hear his other phone ringing late at night when we are talking he never answers another line. Good guy in that respect. Most men talk to several online women, from my experience in meeting guys.

I don't, I can only focus on one woman at a time.

If you can't focus on your potential mate, how can you please her?

Men are looking to please themself. Many are not serious about a real relationship, just dating and sex. That is why it take me a while to meet good men online. Online dating is really not a good way to meet for marriage minded men. I hope this guy is True for a LDR. He has to have a good income and good family connections, I dont want just a OLD lame duck, broke with no Cash flow. laugh :thumbsup:
